Labor Day at Lake Tuscaloosa

We got to spend our Labor Day with some of our dearest friends at Lake Tuscaloosa.  It was the perfect end to our summer getting to watch the kids all play and tube while lounging in the lake drink in hand.  I think Jackson said it best when he said "I sure hope Heaven is a lot like this!"  Me too, Jackson!  Easy, laid-back weekend catching up with old friends.....life is good!

Grammy & Papa Come to Florida!

Well, we got a mattress literally the day Grammy and Papa flew into town, so just in the knick of time.  We were thrilled to get to show them around our new neighborhood.  Grammy and Papa brought their golf clubs, so they filled their mornings with rounds of golf....at least Papa did.  Grammy only played once, but it's pretty convenient to walk down the street for morning golf.  They got to see Beau's first soccer game and a quarter of Bennett's before the weather postponed it.  We managed to squeeze in a few touristy things like the Aviation Museum and a Wahoo baseball game.  Lucky for us, it was a firework night at the game which made up for our rainy 4th of July.  We loved getting to show Grammy and Papa around and look forward to their next visit.

Bloys Camp Meeting

My little piece of Heaven is Camp Meeting.  It's a place where I can relax, visit with old friends and family, and recharge my battery.  I look forward to it every year and have really missed the chance to go the last 4 years.  I couldn't wait to get back there this summer.  It was so fun getting to experience it through the boys this year.  They played hard all day long just like I remember doing as a kid.  Not sure you can beat lunch at the old drug store, sing-alongs on the porch, balloon rockets, and as much tree climbing as you want.  It truly is a special place and I'm so grateful it worked out we could attend this summer.
