A small but meaningful roadtrip!

Our weekend to Miami ......... Oklahoma!

Monday, August 17, 2009

Jason, the girls and I headed up to Miami, Saturday to join Aunt Tammy and the Harrison side of the family for our 2nd annual "Swim Night"! We were debating a hotel well of course the girls won.... we got a hotel and stayed the night at the Microtel Inn. Gracie and Paige were so excited that Anna got to stay the night with us. We went to Aunt Tammy's house to visit with family and wait for more to show up. Then off to the pool we went. While Uncle Justin and his friend Gary prepared the ribs. We each brought a side item to go along with ribs. There were a lot of pasta salads and beans! Food was all great, wish I could of ate more but the kids would not let me stay out of the water long! They all loved the slides so much! I don't have any good pictures of the big pool because I was in the water with them. Gracie was too big for the little pool so I don't have a good one of her either. The picture above is of Paige playing in the kiddie pool. Mike brought Gavin and Kailah too!


Gavin had a blast going down the medium size slide. Everytime he would go down he would go underwater but he would immediantly say "I wanna go again ....... PLEAAAASSSSEEEEE!" Gracie was a big girl and hung with the big girls. She went down all the slides as well. This is the best picture I have of her.

All in all it was a wonderful night with a great family! It is great that even though we don't see each other a lot that we can catch up right where we left off the last time. I love all my family so much and I am so thankful for them all. We woke up Sunday morning and the girls swam some more with Anna in the hotel pool. Then we packed up and headed home.

Can you believe all the trips to Miami and we have never stopped at what use to be the world's largest McDonald's? We are always in a hurry going there then on the way home it is too late! Gracie has always wanted to go so on the way home we decided to stop. Gracie was so excited! Well...... then I had to give her a little history about Will Roger's!
