Mother's Day Zoo Trip

For Mother's day we had a day of fun. It started with breakfast at the Original Pancake House then a trip to the zoo and concluded with lunch at Sneaky Pete's. Anna Grace loved the zoo and still says the alligator is her favorite animal. She also never took her sun glasses off - and we were there 3 1/2 hours. Dean managed to sneak in a little nap while we where there.

Dinner at Honey and Big Daddy's House

Anna Grace loves to help in the kitchen.

Our Train Trip Home

After so much blogging I had to take a break. I am back in full swing though. Here are pictures of our trip home on the train.

Our train approaches the station.

Getting off the train.

Taking it to the house

She was ready to come home and see her daddy - all three of us were. We had lots of fun on our trip to the Coast but we are thankful to be at home in our own beds tonight. I have some pictures getting off the train in Birmingham today but they are on Jan's camera so I will have to post those later.

One last trip to the pier

We went one last time for a ride on the swings before it was time to come in and begin packing for today's train ride home.

Tea Party Time

After our crawfish Juju and Anna Grace enjoyed a tea party on the porch. I think Anna Grace wore the most appropriate clothes ever to the party - especially the camo shoes. Dean attended the party but he did his own thing.

Crawfish time

Sunday Ottie cooked crawfish for us to enjoy before returning home today. Anna Grace and Dean enjoyed helping - especially while the crawfish were still alive and they could watch them crawl around in the cooler.

Fun in the backyard

They both had lots of fun playing on the swing set in the backyard. Anna Grace also helped plant flowers with Juju and made a stepping stone for Juju's garden with her feet print. She got so dirty though we had to strip her down and hose her off in the yard - Mom would not let me put those pictures in the post.

Pier time

We had a picnic lunch and played out on the pier. Anna Grace loves the hammock and the chair swing out there. Dean was a big fan of the porch swings and the buoy bell.

Anna Grace waters for Mom

Anna Grace would not be outdone by Dean's shoe modeling adventure. She decided to get some of her own time watering the ground with the rain water she caught the night before.
