Happy Fall, Y'all!

We're SOOO excited that our favorite season of all has finally arrived! Yesterday was the perfect arrival of cooler weather, with just the slightest nip in the air. Just as we list every year, here are a few of the things we're looking forward to enjoying this fall:

Going to the pumpkin patch

Fall decorating 

Cooler weather 

Hosting the Halloween party this year

Family Fun Day at church

Visiting the beach with no crowds

The Shrimp Festival

Yummy bowls of chili 

Lots of football

Wearing long sleeves 

Seeing the leaves change

Birthdays & parties

Burning Cinnamon Cider candles 

Boo at the Zoo

And our fave holiday of all...Thanksgiving!

We hope everyone has a fun-filled fall, making great memories with family & friends! 

So Silly!

This boy is such a silly biscuit! He keeps us laughing with his crazy antics...including chewing on his feet in the car. 

Water Park Fun

The boys love the water park in Robertsdale that P&J take them to. We met them there over the weekend, and although Harrison slept through all the fun, Hampton had a blast. Here are a couple of pics of him running wild in the water...

Row, Row, Row Your Boat

Granddaddy, Bo & Hampton finally got to take the canoe out over the weekend. They'd wanted to go for forever, but things kept getting in the way. Hampton absolutely loved it, and told us all how he'd seen a shark & a dolphin. Which wasn't true, but you've got to live his imagination! They did see a bald eagle, though, so that's pretty awesome! Once the weather cools off a bit more, they plan to venture back into the water once more. With so many waterways to check out around here, they'll have new adventures to take for a long time!

Build A Bear

Over the summer, we took the boys to Build A Bear Workshop to let the boys make stuffed animals. It was something Tanner had always wanted to do, even though we didn't know one thing about it beforehand! We were pleasantly surprised to see how cute and affordable an experience it was. Hampton chose a white bear he's named "Dingo" and Harrison chose a tan bunny he has named "BeeAh". Both boys sleep with their creations every night, but Harrison is obsessed with his bunny. It has become his must-have lovey that he carries everywhere. We try to limit how much it leaves the house, though, because we can't imagine what would happen if BeeAh went MIA!

 

The Gulf

Friday night, we had dinner at The Gulf with Paul & Jan. We'd been there before on date night & loved it, but they hadn't been yet, so we decided to give it a try now that the tourists are mostly gone. The boys had a large time running around, climbing on stuff, checking out the water, and talking to the other guests (who were amused by the conversations that Hampton likes to start). They also enjoyed their food all over their faces, as you can tell by the pictures! We especially love the 2nd photo shown here...it pretty much sums up our boys. Hampton trying to be the "helpful" big brother & independent Harrison wanting no part of it!
