The week leading up to our much needed weekend was a rough one.  Thursday night, Lisa was not feeling 100% so it was a 12 hour bedtime and Friday Lisa\/Leia rested ALL day. Leia’s energy surged about noon. By Friday evening both everyone was feeling better. The girls headed to Mimi’s for a spend the night fun night while Lisa and Chris went to a marriage conference at church. Saturday morning, we decided to try to book a last minute, quick, girls trip to the beach since we had been stuck at home all week. Thankfully we found a condo that was reasonably priced so we headed down to Orange Beach full of excitement. The girls threw on their swim suits right when we arrived and we darted out to the beach for the beautiful sunset. It was nice watching them run in and out of the water edge. They decided to head to the pool after a little while  (it was freezing but they did not mind). Once they were chilled to the bone we found the hot-tub before they decided it was time to head back to the room. Leia fell asleep on the couch and mommy carried her to her bed then Ivy went to bed after a few games of Ivy-made-it-up-and-Ivy-won.<\/p>\n

Lunch stop on the way down to the beach

\nBeautiful sunset!
\n\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a>
\nLove watching these two together
\n\"\"<\/a>

\nFirst thing Ivy wrote in sand this trip, “Ivy loves Leia”
\n\"\" <\/a>\"\"<\/a>
\nIvy’s face told me how cold the water was before I even felt it
\n\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a>  
\nSweet Leia fell asleep early
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Sunday morning Lisa was so looking forward to a good cup of coffee and a beach sunrise. When we went to make the coffee we figured out we picked up whole beans. A little bummed we did the best we could to crush the beans to make our coffee and sit on the balcony to enjoy the ocean. The girls woke up a little later and we had breakfast out on the balcony hearing the waves crash on the shore. We headed out to enjoy our day at the beach and was thankful Leia had thrown our old faithful popup beach tent since it was HOT and there was no shade on the beach. Mimi and Ivy walked down to the rocks. We all enjoyed building sand castles, laying on the beach, swimming in the pool, and simply spending time together. Mid afternoon Leia asked to go rest in the room so we did then when they got ready we went out for lunch\/dinner and to go shop. However, Leia laid her head down and said she was not feeling good so we headed back to the condo instead of shopping. Leia said she wanted to go home so Mimi took Ivy to the beach one last time this trip, Leia laid down, and Lisa backed the car in record time then we were off headed back to Birmingham from our flash trip to the beach. It was a quick one but it was a great one getting to spend it with Mimi, Lisa, Leia and Ivy. <\/p>\n

 Morning coffee with one of the most amazing women in the world I get to call momma\/Mimi. Ivy was not happy she could not wake up her sister when she got up but slowly came around
\n\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a>
\nYeah, Leia is awake and we all got to enjoy the beautiful view together \"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a>
\nBeach time is fun time! Mimi and Ivy walked down to the rocks. 
\n\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a>
\nOf course Ivy entertained doing cart wheels on way back
\n\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a>
\n\"\" <\/a>\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a>  
\nHopscotch on the beach
\n\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a>  
\n\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a>
\nThankful Leia threw our old faithful pop-up tent in the car! 
\n\"\"<\/a> 
\nHow old is she?!?
\n\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a>
\nThe girls had lots of fun in the indoor pool and hot tub
\n\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a>
\nBack to the beach for nap time
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nIvy, Mimi, and Mommy built a sand castle while Leia napped
\n\"\"<\/a>  
\n\"\"<\/a> \"\" <\/a>  
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nIvy helped load the car so got to ride on the cart when we walked back in the condo 
\n\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Monday morning both girls were full of energy! Although they both wanted friends to come over mommy said no since she was not as energetic and Leia had said she was not feeling well the day before to make sure we did not spread germs to any friends. The girls ended up having a good day doing whatever they wanted to do: watching tv, jumping, Ivy rode her bike, we talked to neighbors as they walked by, and they finally got to played pie in the face. It was a great day chilling at home and recouping for the week ahead.  <\/p>\n

Morning snuggles are so sweet!
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nSo much fun making slime
\n\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a>
\nBeautiful day to enjoy outside! 
\n\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a>
\nthe girls had a great time playing Pie in the Face
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nIvy got the brunt of it since Leia would pull her head out if she saw it coming
