Orange Beach 2008

In mid-August, we were able to make our annual trip to Orange Beach albeit shorter than usual. Regardless, we had a wonderful time! On the way, we stopped at our usual picnic spot at Clarkco State Park near Meridian. They have added a sprinkler park which was nice! On the first day, Lily was not happy about the beach, at all. She screamed and cried when she touched the sand. After it got in her mouth, she was really livid. On day two, she could not get enough of it! Ava really enjoyed it, except for the enormous jellyfish that were washed up on the beach. The pools were a big hit for her! Bella was content and laid back, as always. She took a few naps on the beach! Mimi was able to join us for most of the trip. It was a very relaxing trip. Brent and I even made it out to Louisiana Lagniappe by ourselves. I am already daydreaming about next year's trip! Posted by Picasa

Updating; trip to Nashville and Williamson County Fair

I have been scolded by several for not updating my blog, so here is my attempt at catching up on the last couple of months. I am experimenting with these collages. It may take me a month to post everything!
This is from our trip to Nashville to visit family and go to the Williamson County Fair. We went last year, and once again, the kids had a great time. Lily was much more interested in all of the attractions. Ava and Lily both were able to participate in the kid's farm, complete with gathering eggs, planting seeds, and milking cows. Ava rode her first roller coaster and enjoyed numerous other rides, along with her cousin, John Patrick. They are quite sweet together! Bella was laid back and wonderful, as always.
Casey and Coque were our gracious hosts. It was a great weekend! Thanks guys!
