Let Summer Begin!

Yay for summer break! It's official- this school year is over!! August will come soon enough, and I can't wait to enjoy these next few months.

This past week has been a little bit hard for Brantlee. Monday we decided to take Brantlee to a doctor to have an infected finger checked. When we got to the family clinic, she was running a fever of 103!! The dr felt like the fever was from the staph infection in her finger. Yikes! The next day she saw her pediatrician, who did not think the fever was from the infection but felt it was from a virus. What a coincidence??

Regardless, poor Brantlee ran a high fever until Thursday night along with a really sore finger. We have no idea why her finger is infected, and it is still not completely healed. She is still on antibiotics, but she does feel lots better. Since her fever was gone, and she was acting like her old self, we decided to take our chances and continue our weekend plans that we had made with our friends the Burchfields. We all participated in Gulfport's Pursuit of Fun Run, because all participants got free admission into the waterpark! We spent the night in Gulfport Friday night. The men ran the 5K, and Amy, Addison and I ran the 1-mile. Anything for free admission right??

Collin and Brantlee got a little antsy waiting for Daddy to get back from the run. And I just couldn't get many good pictures.

We only had time for some breakfast on the go. These babies were good sports tho :)
Kyle did so great!! One of his best times yet!

Then we got to really have some fun. Collin and Brantlee LOVED the water, the slides, and the wave pool. I can't wait for the beach!

Shortly after these pictures were taken, a major thunderstorm cleared out the park. We made a mad dash for our vehicle, changed the kids clothes in the car, and headed home. These babies were asleep before we hit the interstate, and they slept the whole way home. Fun times!! It was certainly a nice start to summer.
