Big Day with the V.I.P.'s

Today I spent the day with some very important people...
My boys, nephews and niece!

My vacation officially started today and the kids are out of school for spring break...the perfect excuse to head out to the river to play and ride the country back roads on the golf cart :)

They piled on (and off) running the roads themselves much of the way on our trip to the pond to visit the fishies and new little alligator (did not see the gator, though).
They had a blast together and I enjoyed listening to their conversations and laughter. When we got back to Grami's house they ran around the yard some more just being big goofs and having soooo much fun, all these pictures are things they actually did on their own. If you know anything about our family it is that the kids have a mind of their own and anything you tell (or ask) them to do you can pretty much count on the opposite result. So, I snap fast and just tell them I don't want to take their picture...so of course they ham it up :)Happy Birthday wishes to Noah, Ace and Reese {Hudson, Noah and Reese are in the above pic}

...they are all growing too fast!{Kaleb rests in the grass after a long run back home and Ace quickly copies him...he loves the camera!}

What a great day and wonderful start to a much needed vacation!
