The Hangout ROCKS!

As promised, for every 10 comments I get, there'll be a new blog post. I am on vacay, so I can stay up til the wee hours loading pics if my little hear desires. So, if you are just checking in, don't forget to go back and see what you missed on the blog posts...

Ok, so back to the Hangout. Madi is in her coutoure from her mama's clothing store. Ellie is in her souvenier shop, Peace sign teenage dress. And Gabbi Girl is in whatever her mama chooses to put on her, which latelly is any sweet, baby-like precious monogrammed sweet outfit!

There is this gigantic helicopter blade fan in the middle of the restaurant that pretty much commands your attnetion right off the bat.

Remember my telling you that Ellie chose an art book for her "treat"? Well, I kind of had a little to do with that choice! I KNEW it would preoccupy her at the table! ANd sho nuff!

She really loves an art book. This one ended up getting black all over her hands and face, but it was worth it to keep my kid, who needs constant entertainment or activity, busy!

Hayden brought a friend down to the beach with him. This is Drake.

And this is cute Hayden.

Oh, and THIS is cute GABBI!

Look up there again at Gabbi Girl. Do you see her feathers? I did that for her. I bought a whole bunch of them for my office staff and their kids. As well as the kids and patients who come to my clinic. I can't wait to have that fun day at MMPT!

Madi had her go with the art book. Seems her bubbles got a little boring!

This Miss Priss LOVES this place. Loud music. Lots of activity. Dancing in the aisles. Right up her alley!

She is so independent. It has become so glaringly evident being around two more toddlers on this trip. She does her own hair. Puts on her nighttime (just in case) diaper, dresses and undresses herself. She chooses her own outfits, and asks me to fix her hair , at times, in a very specific manner. For instance, she'll say, "MOm, I want my hair in a messy bun."

And then they started playing line dancing songs. And wellllll, ol MO KNOWS some line dancing songs/ dances!!

Which meant, just like the Pied Piper, I soon had a following!

We had a BALL!

This is usually the weekend I take all my MMPT girls to the beach. This year has been a new challenge altogether. I had a bit of embezzlement, so things were a bit strained this year. I, instead, brought my sis and her kids and a couple of sitters to boot. If things keep going the way they've been going, I will have my worker peeps at the beach by Labor Day! And maybe THEY'LL also do this "get a little lower now" dance with me!

These three kept the dancing going even when I had to stop and rest!

I love how happy and outgoing they are. Oh, wait. Did I mention that The Hangout has a huge sandhill just outside the dining area? When you have a couple of sitters with you, that works out just fine!

See that little girl on the left side of the hill? Almost to the top? wearing green?! That's my baby girl! And the bossy one of the very top!? That's my teenage three year old.

Ok. 10 more comments, even if you commented on a previous post, and I'll change that sucker again! I have SO many pics to share. I need you to do this, or I may NEVER get all my pics shown.

So show the love!
