Hudson and his sweet teachers, Miss Donna and Miss Carolyn.
The Monday after Hudson's graduation, and before my last day of school, we went to the zoo for FREE! We checked out the zoo video that you get from the library and then you get a pass for two adults and two kids for free! The little ones were free b/c 2 and under are at the zoo. We had so much fun! Walker wanted to take a picture with just about every statue...it was totally cute! When we went to see the pandas, the mama panda was sitting up against the front glass munching on some bamboo and we got to see her really close! We also rode the train and sweet Walker LOVED the petting zoo. He went as quickly as he could around to all the animals, petting them and brushing them. It was so fun to be in there with him and watch the excitement!
Hudson got to go to Sports Camp at our church, Graystone Church, this year, and he was SO excited! He chose to do baseball and football and he had a blast! We learned Bible verses, sang lots of songs, and JUMPED a LOT! The final night there was a motorcycle guy jumping over stuff and I let Walker come with us that night. The boys were totally cute and so excited! I taught Music that week and also had a blast!
The week after Sports Camp, we went on vacation to Orange Beach/Gulf Shores, AL. It was probably our best vacation by far! We did some great and free activities that the kids loved! The second night we were there, Uncle Justin took some family pictures...they're wonderful as always! Monday, we went to the beach, where Finley didn't want to have anything to do with the water or the sand and thus sat in her chair the ENTIRE time with her shades and hat firmly ON! The boys let Justin bury them, which totally shocked me! Tuesday, we went to a train museum in Dothan. There was a little wooden train you could ride, which was a BIG hit. Then, inside, there were all these model trains and tracks with a huge city set up. It even had a working drive in movie theater, a circus tent, and lots of other interesting things to look at. The guys working there let the kids push the buttons to make the trains whistle and Hudson even got to be the "conductor" of one of the trains by starting it! Thomas even made a showing! After the train museum we ate lunch at Lambert's...the restaurant where they throw rolls! Great fun! Wednesday, we drove down to Pensacola, FL to watch the Blue Angels practice. I'd say it was on of the highlights for me! The kids enjoyed this too...it was really, really LOUD! Finley held her ears the entire time. After the practice, we went into the Naval Aviation Museum and walked around and looked at all the jets, and naval memorabilia. The pilots came in and everyone cheered...it was spectacular. This same day was also our 9th wedding anniversary! To celebrate, I tried to convince Tony that we should para sail...no such luck. Instead, we went and had a fun dinner at this place called Cosmos. I got what Tony has said was the very BEST meal he's ever had. It was the chef special...pan seared scallops with bacon risotto and a blue king corn cream sauce! Sounds yummy and it seriously tasted even better! While we were out, the kids went on a walk/parade of sorts with grandma and grandpa. They got varsity hats and leis. We also went to the indoor and outdoor pools lots during the week and had fun eating out at various restaurants around! We had found a car top carrier on Craigslist before vacation for $35.00 which totally made our trip possible (NO WAY we could have fit all the things we took if we hadn't had it!).
Father's day was the Sunday after we came back and we celebrated our sweet daddy with breakfast in bed and some of those funky soda shirts from Target!
And just because there are no pictures of sweet Sawyer by himself...he's eating lots of baby food and almost sitting up. He gets all around the floor by rolling and moving himself, not crawling yet...I'm in no rush! He is 7 1/2 months...time is flying!
I have a few more things to post about in order to catch up, so maybe I can get to it later this week! The big kids are staying with grandmama and granddaddy!
