Six Years and Counting!

Ben and I celebrated our 6th anniversary last weekend at the beach with our rambunctious 3-year old. It may not have been the most romantic way to spend an anniversary, but we wouldn't have had it any other way. I couldn't have imagined going off and having a ball without Ty! We went to Outback for dinner, followed by The Track. Ty couldn't wait to get on the go-carts. We were really hoping he would be tall enough this year to ride, since last year he had to watch everyone. We measured him and he was right at the 3 ft. marker. Whew!! I don't know what we would've done if we would have had to tell him he wasn't tall enough. So....without further ado..........we headed for the go-carts. It was hilarious! Ty and Ben flew around the curves with grins from ear to ear. I'm still trying to figure out who had the most fun...Ben or Ty! Saturday we spent the day in the pool and then at the beach. We ended our weekend at Destin Commons for a milkshake at Johnny Rocket's. When Ty saw the water fountains, his mind was made up....we had to make a trip back to the car for the swimsuit. He had a blast running around trying to stomp the water out. He really looked like he was trying to fight the water. Oh, and next time you're at Johnny Rocket's, make sure you take time to make milkshake mustaches! That's the goofy pictures of Ben in the slideshow. There's one of him that looks like he's an old man. I told him that's what he would look like when he gets 60 or 70. And we were trying to be as discreet as we possibly could be without making a scene. I think several people near us still got a good laugh out of the whole deal. It was a great way to end an awesome weekend! Anyway, hope you enjoy the slideshow!

Mendy, The pictures are precious. The other night we were looking through old pictures and ran across one of Myrtle Ruth and Earlene and I thought about the night we spent with her on the couch laughing all night! Good memory. Tell Ben Hi!
