Another Family Beach Trip!

This past weekend we were back at the beach, but this time at Orange Beach! Kurt's family took us all down there to the Phoenix West, and it was so much fun! The condo itself was beautiful, but then the pool area and beach were great, too! They had a really nice pool, but then also a lazy river and waterslide! We spent most of our days out by the pool or beach, and then went out to eat 3 out of the 4 nights we were there.

Jack had such a great time, and loved being out in the pool and lazy river! We kept sunscreen on him throughout the day, so he'd be outside for 2-3 hours at a time and loved it! He also was glad to have so much family surrounding him all day, too.

The pretty beach!

Family Lake Trip!

We went to Lake Martin last week with my mom's side of the family and had a blast! It was gorgeous everyday and we enjoyed everyone being together. We also rented a boat and tube, so we got to go out on the water everyday, which was a lot of fun!

4th of July!

Jack had a great 4th of July celebration! It was actually his second 4th celebration, but he was only a week old last year, so I'm sure he doesn't remember much.

We started the day off at church, then that night went to Trussville to their 4th of July celebration. They had a bunch of games for kids, vendors with food and snacks, and live music playing. They even had a great fireworks display at 9! Jack had a blast the whole time, and even loved the fireworks!
