Yesterday afternoon we headed down to panama city beach Florida to escape the gates of fort Rucker for a little bit. We really don't take advantage of having the beach 80 miles away enough.
Steven got to crawl( yes crawl still no walking...) all over the "giant sandbox" which is always funny to watch. We ate dinner at buffalo wild wings, another average meal that is a serious luxury when you live in the middle of nowhere! Yum .
There was a pirate festival all weekend with added activities and events for kids and families at the PCB pier park. We took Steven on the ferris wheel for the first time which was HILARIOUS. He sat in the seat between the two of us and we literally couldn't stop laughing at him. His eyes were huge the whole time just taking it all in. We took a video, I will upload it below later. Before leaving I had a craving for snow cones, so of course being the wonderful husband that he is, steve ventured around with me to find some... Definitely well worth it! So after chocolate milk with dinner and way too many spoonfuls of Mom and Dads snow cones, I can't believe he even fell asleep in the car ride home :)
This morning I woke up early as usual on saturdays for a nice 8 mile sunrise run ( aka my happy pill.) After breakfast We went down to Dothan for the 4th annual wiregrass buddywalk. The buddywalk is a national event that is put on to bring knowledge and awareness about down syndrome. The fact that this event fell in the middle of our waiting period for out genetic testing was quite ironic , but it was a really great event to go out and show support . There were tons of kids and adults of all ages with DS that were extremely inspiring . What beautiful and wonderful people to spend the morning surrounded by! The walk was around the nature trail at landmark park which was cool and beautiful on a rather warm fall day.
Steve just bought transformers3 on blue ray so it looks like this and Alabama football will be consuming the rest of the day;)
I hope you all are enjoying the Columbus day weekend as well . No better time to enjoy the outdoors than the fall ! Miss and love you all very much. Wishing we had our family/friends here as always . A very Happy Saturday :)
