SAIL AWAY WITH ME

We just had the BEST weekend in Fairhope. Kenny and his dad use to do a lot of sailing on the reservoir in Jackson and it had been years since they had put the boat in the water.  But how can you not have your boat in tip top shape and live in Fairhope so Kenny's dad put a lot of work into it and this weekend Kenny and his dad sailed in their first Regatta in a loooooooong time!  

While Kenny and his Dad sailed all day Saturday, Gramma and Elle spent some quality time together and I got to go shopping by myself in all the little shops in downtown Fairhope.  It was so amazing.  I even followed up the shopping with a manicure and pedicure.

After I shopped and Elle napped all the girls headed over to the yacht club to catch the guys coming in on the boat.  It ended up being a while so we had snacks and drinks at the bar which was fun. Then it was boat time!

 The boat before it was put in the water.  It is named after the song The Wanderer.  

I think it is a pretty good name for a boat.

Elle was so excited!

 So proud of Daddy.  I love this picture!

Waiting on the race results.

And they won!!! After all those years they still got it! They won first overall and first in their category!  I have never see Mr. Ken so happy and Kenny was so excited too.  I was so happy for them!

After the award ceremony we grabbed a quick dinner at the yacht club and went home because we were all tired from the long and exciting day.

Sunday morning we went out for breakfast before we headed back to Starkville.  It was pretty day.  (Much better than Starkville. it is freeeeeeezing here!) Elle felt like doing a little posing after gobbling up her breakfast.
