Tuesday Travels

Yosemite National Park, California-----September 2003

After attending a trade show in Reno, NV, we had one extra day before our flight home. We decided that the best way to spend our time was to drive to Yosemite and back. Being strapped in a small car for HOURS around twisty-turvy roads made for very car-sick people. We weren't loving it at the time, but we're so glad that we got to go. We took some awesome photos, and we'd love to go back some day when we can fully explore all that the park has to offer.

Springtime Fun

This weekend the weather was in the 70s, so we took the opportunity to get out and play!

On Saturday, we headed to the 18th annual Seafood Festival in Orange Beach, which was full of people, craft booths, and tons of beautifully restored old cars. After checking out the sights, we headed to one of our favorite parks for a picnic lunch and to play on the huge playground. We spent time wandering around the fort-like park, swinging Hampton on the baby swing, and wandering down to the water, where there were several local artists painting the intracoastal canal. It was a great day, and we're sure it was the first of many more at that playground!

Dinnertime Fun

Hampton is really enjoying his high chair, especially on the dinner table! Since our table is big, we have plenty of room to sit it up on the table with us while we eat. It's fun having him with us, and he loves being able to see what's going on. He just talks and laughs and plays with whatever he can grab. It's never too early to start family meal time!

Throw Me Something, Mister!

It was too cold to go to the parades on Mardi Gras, but since Bo's office was closed for the celebrations, we decided to have fun anyway! We bundled Hampton up, ran some errands, and had a fun lunch date. When we got home, we decided to be in the party spirit, and got out some of our beads from previous parades. Hampton had a blast playing with them and looking at all the bright colors. We're hoping next year Hampton can enjoy a real parade, but we had a fun Mardi Gras anyway!

A Picture's Worth A Thousand Words.....

Happy Valentine's Day!

We hope everyone has a wonderful day today!

Weekend Update

This past weekend, Tanner's brother and his family came to visit from Birmingham. We had a great time shopping, eating waayy too much, and just hanging out! John, Bo, and Bob caught up on boy stuff, while the girls talked about the important things.....our cute babies! Plus, Amy is big into monogramming, too, so there was lots of discussion of the newest appliques and fabrics. Jack entertained us all, and we think he is going to LOVE it once Hamp is old enough to play with him! It was a great visit, and we're looking forward to our visit to Birmingham at the end of March!

John trying to get Jack to say "dude". It's so cute when he does it!
