Christopher had the week off of school so we headed down to Tallahassee to visit his family. We always have the best time when we go down there. We met the newest member of our family, Camden, who is a darling baby. I don't think I heard him cry once, what a dream, right? We spent a day at the beach soaking in some sun. We had our own little fireworks show and on the fourth we went to a big show. Reese had so much fun with her cousins and eventually warmed up to her Nana and Aunts and Uncles. Maybe next time it won't take her so long!?!? I ended up getting sick but despite that fact we still had a really nice time. I love seeing Christopher with Reese and his family completely free from stress of school. Here it is in Pictures . . .
These kids loved Christopher and he had a lot of fun playing with them.
Reese loved holding Camden, she would get a little crazy if anyone tried to take him away when it was her turn to hold him. She would say "NO, mine mine" she is is getting pretty possessive these days. Gotta love a 2 year old (almost).
I could not get this kid to look at me. She had a lot of fun though. She loved drawing in the sand with her fingers, which is what she is doing in the picture below.
At least we got her to look in the group shot.
On sunday we had our own fireworks show in the parking lot of the Ronald McDonald house and Reese was a little reserved about the whole thing but she gave sparklers a chance until she started seeing her cousins burn their fingers and toes. After that she wouldn't touch a sparkler or even watch the fireworks for that matter. I guess I would rather her be cautious about fire then the opposite.
She loved her Aunt Becca
The girls minus Becca who was graciously dealing with my freaked out child. If someone wasn't holding her she was running to the door of the house to get away from everything. Eventually she found a way to entertain herself behind the cars away from the scary lights and sounds of the fire.
On the actual night of the Fourth when the fireworks were high in the sky she really did enjoy them.
I love this picture the three babes watching the fireworks.
Reese really loved being with Landon and Bella.
If they were in the same place they were always together.
We are so happy to have family close enough for a weekend getaway. Thank you Nana, Ben, Ursula, Becca, and Ruth for showing us such a good time!
