At the end of April 2011, Richard and I started our journey towards a campground in a small town called Waller, TX. Our first stop was at our membership resort in DeFuniak Springs, FL called Sunset King Lake Resort. At this resort, we have come very close to some who now reside at this resort. It was very good to see our ol’ friends and spend time with them. About 30 minutes west of DeFuniak Springs is a town called Crestview. This is where our niece (Kelli), her hubby (Kevin) and their 3 younguns’ live. So it gave us time to visit with family too. What was cool, too, was that friends who we haven’t seen in about 2 years were coming to the resort on the same day we were arriving. Whoo hooo! We went to Cheeseburger in Paradise, Ed’s Restaurant and probably a few other places that my mind just can’t remember. But our 10 day stay was absolutely wonderful. It was sad to leave our friends/family behind to head west.
While visiting Kelli and family, we were lucky enough to be invited to their son’s/daughter’s birthday party. Lil’ Kevin (Boo) and Shyler were turning one year older. Their birthdays are about a week or so away so Kelli & Kevin decided to combine the parties. It actually was a pool party and their friends were invited to enjoy in the fun. We took them and their older sister, Bayne, something from Disney that we thought they would like. The cakes were pretty awesome. Spongebob Squarepants for Boo and Fairies for Shyler…
It was pretty awesome to see 2 different kinds of birthday decorations…All their friends came and the first thing they wanted to do was hit the pool…We didn’t take our swimsuits and I didn’t want to swim with kids, all the yelling and screaming and having fun splashing water…The kids looked like they were having a blast…
The kids were having such a good time…Kelli and Kevin were preparing the cookout meal of hamburgers and hotdogs…When lunch was over, it was time to get on with the party…There were pinatas for each of them…They were strung earlier between 2 trees…The boys and girls took a turn each trying to break open the pinata…Finally, after battling the hard put-together pinatas, all the candy went tumbling down to the ground…Kids were scrambling to get all the candy that they could put in their hands…As you can tell, Spongebob was still in one piece..
Present time…Presents were all brought out on to the deck and piled up in their perspective areas for each of them to open…Boo & Shyler each took a turn opening up their presents…It seemed like forever until all the presents were opened up…I do believe the kids had a good time…
At the end of the day, it was time for the adults to play Cornhole or Beanbag Toss…I didn’t play cause “tossing” the beanbags makes it tough on my back & shoulders…but it was fun just watching Kelli, Kevin, Richard and Kelli’s dad, Lou, play the game…I enjoyed a beer while talking with one of Kevin’s work mates…The day was winding down and Kelli & Kevin were ready to play Pegs and Jokers, a game we taught them several years ago…We always play girls vs boys and that night the girls whooped up on the boys…They were whining cause Kevin thought we were cheating…Wahhhh!!!
Hey Kev, I think that bike is too small for ya…! lmao…and not quite your color…lol
This was the end of a very good day in Crestview…The next day was Easter and we were getting ready to dye eggs..This will be a Pt. 2 story so stay tuned…
