Our trip to Savannah

We loaded up the car on the last day in July to go visit our most favorite Aunt!!!! It takes most of the day to drive down there and we spent Saturday morning lounging around. Baylor found the piano

and Christian made himself at home at the kitchen table with his beloved Leggos

Later in the day, Baylor and KayKay made a peach ice cream pie

That evening we visited Mim's church. It was a neat building and the kids enjoyed the childrens area. (Mim normally works there on Saturday evenings, so they took extra good care of "her kids") After service we took pictures at the lake next door

I love my sweet sister!!! It was nice to see some places she spends her time and meet some of her friends.

Sunday morning we made cookies...not just any cookies, but Star Wars cookies w/ special cutters Mim borrowed.

Not only did they look cool, but they tasted good too

After making cookies, we went to one of Mim's friends neighborhood to enjoy the pool. She had told me there was a water slide, but I didn't expect something as big and cool as we found

You walked up three flights of stairs and then came swirling around to the bottom. Christian was on it less than 5 minutes after we arrived.

Even I got in on the fun:)

It took Miss Priss a little longer to warm up, but she finally did it w/ Mommy or Mim riding behind her....Here's Baylor!!!

This pool was seriously like a mini waterpark!!! You see the mushroom fountain behind Mim and Baylor

and Christian in mid leap in the slash pad area!!!

Tuesday was our lazy hang around the house day. Mim did have a very silly Cat in the Hat game to play. You picked a card and did whatever it told you with the object you drew...For example: Go under the stick with the ball on your tummy. Crawl around the stick with the fish in your shirt. Very funny to watch.

Wednesday morning was spent at Monkey Joe's. It was a great way for the kids to get out some energy and us to wait out the rain

After all that bouncing we went downtown to walk around a bit and get a treat. My children were ready to lick the chocolate out of the machine at The Savannah Candy Kitchen.

City Market

Walking around downtown

Mim thought she would just relax and watch the kids play...

Come on Mim...run with us

Showing off his lost tooth

Water felt good on that hot day

What time w/ Mim would be complete with out a DANCE PARTY?!?!

Our trip was so much fun. Mim's friends are sweet and seem to take good care of her:) Now she get's to start packing for her trip to see her man!!!

Fall Break in Savannah

We had so much fun hanging out with Mim in her new city. We read books...

made silly faces...

and we skyped Unlce Travis everyday. The kids thought this was cool

Mim took us downtown to see the sights. We saw Paula Deen's, but didn't want to wait in line to eat there. Visited a friend that lives downtown and had milk & cookies. Walked the river front and did some window shopping. Below you see Mim and Baylor walking through one of the many town squares.

It was bit brezzy to be down by the river. I'm sure it's more fun in the spring/summer

I love how he is deciding whether to kiss her or not...she had just bought him some fudge from the candy kitchen

'Oh I guess I will'

At Savannah Bee Company you can taste test several different types of honey and the kids can go to 'Bee School'

We drove to South Carolina (@ an hour) to what we thought was a pumpkin farm...They ain't got nothin' on TN!!!

They did have a funny looking miniature horse

Who knew you could find the world's largest mailbox down the road from my sister's

Mim loves the Spanish moss trees that are all over Savannah

We took advantage of the pretty afternoon and played at the park. Christian is pretending to be some kind of monster

These two were inseparable our whole trip. B sure loves her Mim!!!

We set the timer up to take this one...not too bad. Just a few hours later, Baylor and I were in an urgent care clinic b/c her left ear was bleeding. She had another ear infection and a busted ear drum, but did this girl complain? Not once!!! The doc said she was one strong little girl.

After dinner we had Smores...we all thought they were super yummy

Does he look like he was going to throw up in a couple hours? But that's just what he did...poor Mim cleaned most of it up. (We're just training her really well for when she has kids of her own)

Me and My sis

My kids have been doing a lot of growing up lately and Mim just couldn't believe Christian took showers all by himself

Mim decided to braid Baylor's hair

It turned out cute:)

We had a great trip. The only thing that made it better was that Mim rode home with us and stayed in TN for a few days:) It was fun surprising KayKay and Tex b/c they had no idea she was coming
