A week at the Beach!

After spending a week in Fairhope we drove about 45 min. to Perdio Key and met my family there for a week at the beach. TJ and Tyler had such a great time playing with their cousins and enjoying the sand and waves. We have been going to Perdio Key for 5 years and we really love the area and of course the family time is WONDERFUL.

I will post more pictures from our week at the beach when I get them from my mom and brother!!!!

The U.S.S. Alabama Battleship

This morning we visited the U.S.S. Alabama. We were so proud of the way TJ went up and down the steep steps in and out of the ship. He was a real trooper. Tyler didn't really want to be carried but we knew there was NO WAY he could keep up with us. So I strapped him to me and he did a good job too! They also had a field with extra air craft and as you can see TJ found a JEEP! We toured the submarine and then called it a morning.

July 4th!

The evening of July fourth we went down to the Fairhope Pier and enjoyed a beautiful fireworks display. It wasn't too hot and the boys did a great job. TJ didn't really like the fireworks at first but since they lasted for 20 min. he finally got used to them. Tyler loved them from the beginning. He would say "BOOM" every time one of the fireworks went off.

Early Birthday Present

Today we took the boys to a ceramic shop to make me an early birthday present. I have always wanted a plate with the boys hand prints on it and I have never taken the time to do it. So there was a pottery shop in Fairhope that had all kinds of paint-able plates. I chose a platter and Chuck painted it using the boys hand prints as the "flowers". We let TJ paint a tractor (which he LOVED) and it ended up being a great family outing. It will defiantly be on our list to do again.
