Family Fun

If you've been wondering why I haven't written anything lately, we've been on vacation. Jared has been so busy with work lately, so we decided to get away last week. His mom and step dad have a cabin in Blue Ridge, GA, so we spent the week up there. It was our first time there, and it was just beautiful. We had a great time with them and Jared's step-sister and her two boys came down from North Carolina for a couple of nights. Will definitely enjoyed playing with them. We did lots of driving, hiking, and sight seeing. I think you need about two weeks there to have time to relax and see all of the stuff you want to see. Will's favorite was the train ride, it was not only his and Caroline's first train ride, it was also mine and Jared's first. Thanks G and FaFa for a fun week, can't wait to go back again!!

When we left Blue Ridge, we drove straight on through Columbus for a fun weekend in Dothan. We got to see lots of family and friends. Including our new little niece Claire who was born October 30th, she is beautiful with a head full of hair if we didn't rub it all out. Will also enjoyed playing with Lillie, my other niece who we don't get to see enough.

We enjoyed the Peanut Festival this weekend too....we went to the fair Friday night and got rained on. Will only got to ride two rides, but we made up with his disappointment with food. We got to eat a corn dog from the Corn Dog Man and Will and Lillie mostly enjoyed Nana's corn. Sadly we left fast because of the rain and didn't get an elephant ear. Saturday morning we got up and headed down to the parade. Will enjoyed it more than we did I think, with the marching bands, big tractors, and of course the jets. Caroline just slept in her stroller straight through it. Then we headed back to mom's and dad's to watch the Alabama game and I'll just say ROLL TIDE to all of my Louisiana friends!!! I also included a couple of pictures from Halloween, we just stayed around here and went trick-or-treating with some of Will's friends.
