Alexis is 9....AU style!

OH we love Auburn!

We could not wait to celebrate Alexis and head to Auburn to do it for several days!

We had a blast and did all of our favorite things and ate at all of our favorite places too!

We woke up bright and early Sunday morning and headed straight to our most favorite place! Two girls were just sooo excited and this one especially since it was her 9th birthday!
This is her very first official picture as a nine year old! :)
We had the best room. We were on the bottom floor {where we requested} and right beside the indoor pool! It made getting to our room and having lunch, etc a breeze! We loved our view too!
We jumped straight into the pool once we got unpacked and into our bathing suits!!
Lily..OH MY goodness! She swam...and swam...and she went down the slide around 10 million times on this trip! She had TONS of friends too! She would play and play with one friend and then move over and play with another group...then we would see her going down the slide with new ones! She did this the whole time we were there! She had so much fun!
The slide was a popular spot!
She is 9! WHAT!?!?! :) :)
Sisters!
Alexis chose everything she wanted to do since it was her day! She chose Outback and wanted a steak....so that is exactly what we did! OH, it was so good too!!
The other end of the table! :)
And, then she got to pick her own birthday treat! That made her day!
Then Alexis chose the new movie out....Despicable Me 3. It was a cute movie, but Alexis and I both agree, the first 2 were a lot better. :)
We sat in the nicest theater. The BIG D! :)
The movie rounded out our first fun night in Auburn. We headed back and crashed after the movie!
Bright and early Monday we were at it again! Fun in the sun with this crew!
We swam, and 'got a tan' and played, threw the football, played with friends and just had the best day! There was between a 60% -80% chance of rain everyday we were down...yet we didnt see a drop of rain!
She got so much stronger swimming while we were there! She swam after everything! :)
This one perfected her dive!
She thinks she is so grown now that she is 9! :)
After a full day, we got cleaned up and headed out for more fun...minus water! :)
Ready to go!
We went to eat at Newks {per Lily's request since it is her favorite} and then did some thrift store shopping!!.....and then after, we took some pictures by the Auburn University sign {pictures to come} before heading back to have the best afternoon swimming, playing games and eating smores!
It was perfect weather and a perfect afternoon to just relax and enjoy watching the girls have fun!
These two were so excited to swim with the pool lights changing colors. It is really neat to watch the water turn the different colors! The loved making smores too........or actually watching the marshmallows burn! :)
Daddy helping them load the smores!
One happy little girl!
We swam until the pool closed and then called it a night!
Stay tuned for the end of our trip post! :)
