A Day at the Fair's: August 2013

The boys and I took a trip to Nonna and Pappa's house for Charlie's Sip-N-See. Friday we played in the water with cousin Claire.

Our sweet Aunts Ellen and Terri made all of this beautiful and delicious food.

Ethan LOVED his cup of grapes.

And here is the guest of honor!

Proud Nonna and Great Aunt Lisa

Uncle Curtis came buy to meet Charlie too.

This is Mrs. Fulmer. She was my Sunday school teacher when I was six years old. I have such sweet memories of her loving on me when I was little.

These pretty girls were helping with the presents.

Pappaw Peacock and Great, Great Aunt Charlene.

Everyone was so happy to see Charlie.

Aunt Ellen and Charlie were having a serious heart to heart.

Sweet Aunt Virgie and Joan were able to come by to meet Charlie.

We had fun with our cousins, Bogan, John Austin and Kaylynn.

Papa took the kids outside to play and see the horses.

I took this picture from the back porch with my long lens. I really love my camera and used this opportunity to have a photo shoot.

I was so happy spending lots of cuddle time with this sweet potato.

I just love this picture of Pappaw with Charlie.

Welcome to the family, Sweet Charlie! We are going to have so much fun with you. It won't be long before you join the pack.

I feel it is necessary to include a disclaimer at the beginning of this post. I may have gotten a little camera happy on this trip so there are a LOT of pictures. I really did narrow them down, believe it or not. I hope you enjoy the pictures as much as we enjoyed making them.

Our first rest stop was a roadside farmers market. Adam quickly found this truck to ride.

Ethan was happy to give him a push.

Ethan exchanged kisses with his new friend.

We couldn't pass by a cutout without letting Ethan try it out. He loves these things!

On the road again...

The boys really were great for the whole trip. I highly recommend portable DVD players for anyone traveling with children.

Of course they wouldn't look at the same time, but I still love these pictures. My sweet boys love their daddy!

Ok. I have to take a moment to point out Justin's shoes. I made plenty of fun of him, but they actually came in handy. The beach had a ton of broken shells, and several people cut their feet. I still made fun of him though.

We were excited to have Uncle Mike and Aunt Robin with us on our vacation. It was great to make special memories with them.

Everyone was really excited when these Blue Angels did a few flybys. They were very cool...and loud.

Adam had a great time with Big Daddy in the pool.

Both boy's favorite part of the vacation was, without a doubt, the water slide. They wanted to ride over and over again. Ethan clapped his hands over his head after every ride.

Mimi and Aunt Lulu taking a break by the pool.

One day the boys were on very different napping schedules. These pictures were taken when Adam was upstairs sleeping.

The boys had fun sifting through all the sea shells.

We loved watching the dolphins playing just off shore.

We finally took a family picture! As usual, the babies were in the worst mood for this part. I don't know what it is about taking planned pictures that puts everyone in a bad mood. All things considered, I think they turned out pretty well.
