4th of July weekend

We had a busy but great 4th of July weekend!  Mom met me on Friday afternoon and Anna Riley spent the night in Berry with them. They took her to the park in Fayette to play that evening and from the looks of the pictures Mom took, she had a ball!  Riley and I needed to take something to Birmingham so we went to eat at PF Changs and then went to Buy Buy Baby to look around.  By the way...that is an amazing baby store!!






The next morning, Riley and I went to eat breakfast at the Waysider and went furniture shopping for a sofa bed for the the playroom...found one at a great price! I ran a few more errands before Mom and Dad brought AR back and then we went to Riley's Aunt Marcia and Uncle Chips to swim in their new pool and eat ribs and AR found a new love for baked beans!





Sunday, the Tidmore's invited us to Courtney's Dad's house on the river in Moundville.  It was Anna Riley's first time in the river/lake and she wasn't so sure about it until she got to playing with the rocks and then she liked it.  We grilled out and made homeade ice cream. 




Monday morning we headed to Orange Beach to stay with two other couples and their kids.  We had lunch at the Oyster House while we waited for check-in time and then we grilled out that night.  While the men grilled, I took some pictures of the girls playing on the beach.  (More on the beach in another post).








Later that night we watched the fireworks on the beach.
