More fun with our cousins!

Everyone had a big time at Dixie Stampede last night. Today has been another fun day!! First we went to the library for a visit from the Zoomobile. Next was lunch at the Pizza Kitchen. After lunch the kids all went swimming since we finally had some sunshine. Tonight Brad and I took Emily, Will & Kate to a Smokies game. Whew...we are worn out!

Emily & Will are in town!

Mayfield Dairy

My mom's group went to Mayfield Dairy in Athens today. We got to tour the factory, had a picnic lunch and then got some ice cream for dessert. Kate was a little worn out after being at the beach last week, but we still had fun!

No one was very excited with the hairnets we had to wear, but Kate & Ashley sure look cute in them.

Seabrook Island, South Carolina

We had a great week at the beach!! The weather was beautiful and all the kids had a blast. Kate's favorite activity was swimming. She spent most of the day (every day) in the pool. She taught herself how to flip underwater and even mastered "the triple" (three flips underwater without coming up for a breathe) She also liked crashing waves in the ocean and building a sand castle with her daddy and cousins. Braden loved swimming, playing in the surf and bird watching. Everytime he spotted a bird he yelled "bee, bee" and loved to throw food for them to come eat. Most of all we loved spending time with our family. We can't wait to go back next year!!

Happy Father's Day!
