I AM BACK!!!

I have been a slacker this summer, and I am so sorry! I spent this afternoon and evening catching up! The Coon family has been busy and time has just gotten away from me. I am going to try to do much better. I will be working in my classroom this week, so be looking for classroom pictures soon. I hope you are having a great summer!!!

Our Summer Vacation

We went Destin, Florida for our summer vacation. We stayed at Hidden Dunes in a 3 bedroom cottage with my brother's family.
We saw NO OIL, but we did see this daily!

Everyday, they worked for 20 minutes and then took a rest for 30 minutes. They got an hour lunch break and an hour to cool off.

The water was beautiful! Nothing kept us out of the ocean.

Sam and Patton trying out their new boards they bought while we were down there.

David and Shawn throwing football.

Penny and Smith working on a sandcastle.

The boys put on their bathing suits and took a bubble bath in mine and Dave's tub.

We went to Panama City one night to eat and hang out!

We celebrated Cheryl turning 35 while we were at the beach!

Happy Birthday, Cheryl!

We had a wonderful time and memories were made!!!!

The Fourth of July

During the day on the 4th, we headed to Smith Lake to spend some time with our dear friends, the Hamns.
We went to a friend's pier for the kids to jump off of! I had to turn the other way!

We spent a lot of the day on the boat.

Mrs. Coon working on her tan!

The boys took the canoe on a little adventure.

When we got home that evening, we tackled this!!!

David and my brother put on a show for us!

Shawn's favorite: Doodles of Fun!

Cheryl and I watching the show!

Smitty doing sparklers with daddy!

We were impressed with some of the fireworks.

We actually got some applause from neighbors nearby!

We lit up the street! It was a great 4th of July with family and friends!!!!!
