Panama City Beach 2018

-


On July 7th we packed up the van made the long trip to Panama City.  We packed plenty of books, movies, and toys to keep Will occupied for the eight (8) hour trip. Ten (10) minutes in Will was bored and begging for toys.  Michael required that we wait until an hour before we turned on a movie, so I handed Will a superhero action figure.  Seeing Will's action figure, Sam pulls out an action figure of his own.  Seeing Sam's action figure, Will loses his mind and starts screaming "MY TURN."  This lasted until Sam broke down and handed Will the toy.  Then Sam proceeds to get another toy.  Will, seeing Sam's new toy screams "MY TURN."  This went on all day.  The phrase "my turn" was the theme of the day. It was lovely.




About three hours into our trip we hit a pretty big traffic jam.  Since we were moving at approximately 5 MPH, I decided to hop in the back with the boys.  It was terribly uncomfortable.


Earlier in the week we decided that we would meet Emily's family at a Chik-Fil-A.  We thought it might be fun to let the boys play on the playground for a while before getting back in the car for the last half of the ride.   After our long traffic jam were ready to get out to eat.  Unfortunately, Emily called us and let us know that we planned to meet at the only Chik-Fil-A in the world without a playground.  We were also informed that the line was a mile long and that there was no parking.  We opted instead to go to McDonalds.  The playground was pretty sticky, but the boys were at least able to play. Once back in the car we settled Will down for his lengthy 45 minute nap.

We arrived at the beach around 5:00. We volunteered to make dinner for everyone the first night.  After dinner we all went down to the beach. Will was pretty excited to get in the water.











It was a great night.

Today we woke up at 6:30 to prepare for our big day at Universal Studios Islands of Adventure. The shuttle from the hotel left for the park at 8:00 meaning that we had to be downstairs and ready to go at 7:45. At 7:30 we realized that we had to book our spot on the shuttle the night before. Oops. For two people with jobs requiring close attention to detail we completely fall apart in our personal life. Fortunately we were able to purchase a ticket and catch the 8:00 shuttle anyway. The shuttle ride was interesting; we ended up sitting behind a young couple that could have left about 90% of their PDA in their hotel room and it still would have been too much for my taste. When we got to the park we noticed our ticket required that we show I.D. Well, I didn't bring my purse with me. Oops. After reading and rereading the fine print, we lawyerly types figured out an interpretation that would allow me to get into the park without producing photo i.d. We geared up for the fight

Wednesday night I got a strange phone call from Michael; he asked if I could get an ice pack and a couple ibuprofen ready for him.  Check it out . . .   He went to the doctor Thursday morning and came home with a boot, a pressure sock and a pair of crutches.  Looks like he will be out of commission for approximately two months.

On Sunday morning we slept until 9:30!  Finn was up with the sun, of course, but Sam slept until a little after 9:00. When we got up the sun was shining so we decided to hang the boys gourd bird house from Mr. Gene.  So far we have really enjoyed going to church on Sunday night.  Finn specifically told me that he likes night church better because he can get up and play.  The boys had a pajama party at school today.  It was in honor of Ms. Jenn's last day before maternity leave.  Finn was very excited to show his friends his godzilla feet. Big morning for Finn.  Last night was the first night that we have not put a nighttime pull-up on Finn.  He woke up with a dry bed!
