Sittin' On The Dock Of The Bay

The Mr. and I are back from a long weekend with the fam on the Bay. I'll let the pictures do the talking....


Dinner...BBQ


My nieces, Molly and Lauren, feeding the birds...and apparently eating their treats as well.


Watching the sun set on Mobile Bay....heaven on Earth.


The whole reason we were there...my Grandmother's 85th birthday. Boy, was she surprised!


The little darlings heading in for breakfast.


So cute...even at 6:30 in the morning. I was the adult supervision on the water while everyone else slept.


I learned from my 9 year old niece that "no party is complete without crazy straws". Jeff's party was complete...


Can't read the writing? Happy Birthday, Jeff!!! I think??!!


Surprise!!!


My beautiful sister, Laura, and my niece, Molly.


It just doesn't get any better...


The Mr. testing out his new clubs, a birthday gift from me. Of course, I forgot the golf balls, which is like giving a kid a train without batteries. Pine cones, might I add, make wonderful "golf" balls.


The party planner, Molly, and her favorite aunt and uncle!!


I'm pretty much a big fan of this kid....

It was a wonderful, wonderful weekend. Well, there was this one little incident that could've easily spoiled it all, but thanks to the kindness of strangers, we only swam the boat in for 45 minutes from the middle of the Bay. Otherwise, we'd still be pulling that thing to shore. It wasn't funny at the time, but the video is priceless. That's right...the video. Because while some of us used our life jackets as harnesses and scissor kicked towards land, my sister, the Spielberg of the Cone family, took a video.

Hey Laura...Really?
