Natalie's Visit


This week I plan on getting caught up on this blog before the summer gets away from me :) Our plans this week only include home, the gym, and the pool.... until Friday!

It's safe to say that Natalie and I have not seen much of each other the past 6 or so years. They lived in Vermont for 5 years and we lived in San Francisco 3 of those years. I visited her when I was 6 months prego with Karoline, and they came to San Fran when Karoline turned 2. Since there return to the south we have seen each other twice in Birmingham... It was beach time this go around! And after this exhausting trip I'm not sure when she'll come back :) Glad I took a lot of pictures! Haha...

Natalie braved the drive with her mom and her precious three children. Karoline and Anderson had so much fun with Emma Raines, Tucker, and baby Finley! They arrived late Tuesday night so when the woke up Wednesday they were all ready for some fun...

Anderson wasted no time trying to teach Tucker how to play the drums and the girls were in dress up clothes before we knew it (and stayed in them pretty much except for their bathing suits!)...

Sweet Finley's morning bottle...




We got to the beach around 11am and the kids had a blast playing. ER was so brave in the water playing and it helped Karoline and Anderson be a little brave too... surprisingly my kids are very timid near the ocean. Tucker was quite content building/ constructing things in the sand.




Guitar time...
The reality of trying to get a cute group shot... Oh well...
and yes, everyone on the beach was laughing at us :)




Anderson would fall back and yell "I be baptized!"....






After the beach we headed to Pine Lakes for lunch and swimming. Mom and Judy brought Finley who had been napping at home with them... she loved the water.




After dinner the kids went to bed without a problem.... It was a very fun day... ready for day 2?
