Fun with Friends!!

We were so excited that Sarah Peck, a good friend from college, and her boyfriend Klinton, also from college, were able to come down and visit us for a few days this weekend. We had a lot of fun having them in our home playing games, watching movies, and doing all sorts of fun activities. One day we took them to the zoo and had lots of fun seeing elephants, watching the giraffes and playing in the water. Klinton got us all some snow cones which was definitely a highlight of the day, cooling us down immensely. It was soooo HOT!!!! We went to the beach with them on Saturday. Daddy and Klinton went and got a nice tent for the beach to keep Mason and Grant out of the sun so much and it helped make the day much more bearable since we weren't in the sun so much. Mommy likes the beach much better when she doesn't get so extremely hot! Grant loved the tide pools mostly as the ocean itself tended to scare him quite a bit. Although mommy did take him into the ocean for a little bit. The entire time he kept looking into the water and saying, "Nemo?" with his hands shrugged in question as to where Nemo was. It was cute. He is beginning to associate life with things he's seen. It amazed me that he'd make the connection between a movie and real life. He also loved playing in the sand. Mason slept under the tent pretty much the whole time. It was a fun day.

my favorite picture of Grant is on the Carosel horse. That is a great picture. Grant sure has fun with life. He is so fun to see how he relates to life. Mason has changed so much. He is adorable.

It looks like you had fun with your friends.

We went to the beach, too, this weekend....I hope to post pictures soon.

You are doing such a great job of getting out and about with both of the boys (and by yourself)....I'm frankly afraid to go anywhere with both of them...never know when I'll have to find a place to feed Laney....and that's not always possible.

And I'm so glad that you found a mommies group to hang out with. I pray that the mommy with the kiddos who are similar ages becomes a wonderful friend.
