Gillification October 2010

Rick and Chad have been friends for 17 years now, since becoming roommates their sophomore year at Virginia Military Institute. Even though he lives in Richmond with his wife Ginny, and 4 Gillets, we haven't let distance affect our friendship. We went to Disney with them 2 years ago and have managed to see them at least once a year since college. Here is the Parrish-Gill clan on Halloween with all pieces of their costume on, I won't be able to say this in about 3 houses, when Barrett lost the mask, Cooper didn't feel like the Disco hat and we figured out that Adeline never left the house with shoes, just Cinderella socks.

We took the Gills out on Sea Monkey( our pontoon boat) both sunny days they were there and let the Dads take the kids on a simulated Indiana Jones adventure, here are the kids ready to enter the temple of doom




7:00am morning number two, all the girls are cozied up watching Scooby


Taking the Gills to the Sand Dune, yea the rope swing has been cut down now too many times to count, but the kids still request this place every time we go out on the water. While the Dad's tried to build a fire, cook hot dogs and play frisbee, Ginny and I made sure the boat cushions didn't get too much sun and that the BudLight Lime's stayed cold



Awwww Dad's and little ones,
Reece, Parker, Cooper and Adeline at Flounder's






Flounders is a local restaurant on the water that has a huge outside seating area and playground and is a must visit when having guests. We sat in the open air part of the restaurant that had remove able walls for the warm weather months. But, it still had a glass door that looked odd, when there were no walls next to it. We kept teasing about other people's kids who kept using the door, when our kids just ran out the open spaces like any normal human. Then right after dinner, Adeline started using the door, which made me question her gene pool, then I realized I am her parent and it all made sense.



You can't come to Pensacola and not get Bushwhacked- I think Ginny approved

Looks like a lot of fun! I didn't have a bushwhacker, what the heck? When are you going to stop putting Addy in that marshmallow suit so she looks like the Michelin man? We need to make a visit when it's warm so we finally feel the Florida warmth and not just the warm Parrish love.
