First time on the swings.







We have a couple of play areas in our neighborhood so we stopped by one and let Madison try out the swings. She just grinned from ear to ear so I guess she like it.

More pictures from our trip to Alabama
















Of course I only know how to do the basics on this blog. I don't have the time to sit down and figure everything out so you might get several posts from the same trip so I can share all of the pictures. These are just some random shots from our time at home.

Our recent trip to Alabama
















First of all I am not good at keeping this blog up to date so I have to back track to tell you about everything. Over Labor Day weekend we went home to Alabama. Scott's grandfather passed away so we went home for several days. It was expected, but he will surely be missed. While we were there we did get in some good family visits which was great. It helped to get our mind off of all of the funeral stuff. We had a good weekend considering why we were making the visit. Here are a few pictures of Madison's adventure on the farm and with her Paw Paw on his Kabota.

Our camping trip
















A couple of weekends ago we went camping at Jellystone campground in Cherokee, NC. We met my cousin/sister Christy and her family there. We were not brave enough to go tent camping with a 4, 2, and 8month old so we rented a cute cabin. We had a really good trip. Jellystone is the home of Yogi Bear for those of you who did not know that and when we went it was Yogi's birthday. We went on a wagon ride w/ Yogi and went to his birthday party. Gracie (the 4yr old almost 5 at the time) LOVED the characters. She couldn't get enough. You can't even imagine how excited she was to be around them. We went into town one afternoon and went mining for gems and had the girls pendants made from stones we had found. On the way out of town we stopped by a place to hike up to a waterfall called Mingo Falls and it was worth the hike. Enjoy the pictures from our weekend.
