Great Day
Our first stop was at a neat outdoor store called Across the Pond. They have a big area full of fish. The kids had a great time. We also ate dinner at a cafe there. It was yummy. Next we headed up to Fayetteville TN. It is a great little town with the BEST fabric store!!! I have been wanting to update my breakfast room for a while but just couldn't get inspired. I finally found the perfect fabric for curtains. I even got this awesome trim for them. Can't wait to actually make some curtains now and start working on redecorating.
When we got home we had a yummy roast waiting in the crock pot. Nothing better than getting back from a long day and having dinner ready. I also cooked up some fried green tomatoes. I LOVE them!! So good!!!

Mobile Part 2
One of the adults favorite thing to do together is play games! We always play Trivial Pursuit. Brad and LeeAnn claim that in 14 years of playing they have never bet Matt and I. I am not so sure. But it all changed on Friday night. They killed us!! Of course they had to take a picture.
Saturday was spent lounging by the pool. It was so wonderful. The girls had a great time playing with the water table.

Mobile Part 1
The trip down as long and late. We left after Matt got done with work on Thursday. The kids did awesome! We rolled into Mobile about 10:30 Thursday night very tired. The Wrights had beds waiting for all of us so we pretty much went straight to sleep.
We all woke up Friday ready for a fun day!! We headed into Mobile to hit the Gulf Coast Explorium. It is a great kid friendly science museum. It was so much fun. We did lots of great things.
LeeAnn and Paige. Kate practicing her pull ups
The best part of the day for a 4 year old boy - the fart noise maker.
Playing the electric harp.
Silly girls
Sweet Kate! Ben practicing his weather forecasting skills. They had a great area just for little kids. It had lots of fun things to play with and explore including a big boat to play on. And of course a big area filled with balls to play in. Paige figured out how to walk in the balls really quickly. Kate never could figure it out. She kept falling down. The girls had fun riding together in the double stroller. They had a really cool exhibit where you got to design and test your own roller coaster. Ben had so much fun doing this.
After a great morning we headed back across the bay to Daphne. The girls took naps and we relaxed. We love just getting to hang with Brad and LeeAnn. We never run out of things to talk or laugh about. For dinner we headed to downtown Daphne to a great pizza place - Cousin Vinny's. It was super yummy!
Daphne is such a cute little town. So quaint and full of little businesses and huge old trees. I just love it! After dinner we went to a downtown park to let the kids play for a little while. Kate loved swinging under the old trees!
There was lots of sliding
It was a great start to an awesome weekend!!Sunday, July 24, 2011

VBS 2011
They did the New York City themed VBS and it was so cool!!
They put on a show for all of the parents with all the songs they had learned all week. I had heard that everyone thought Ben was a great dancer and he put on a show for sure!!
All the kids got their names called out and they got a certificate for coming.
