Yes, Matt and I are very aware of the price of gas...but...it was time for me to get a new car, and we decided to bite the bullet and get what we really wanted. For those of you who have never traveled with two bikes, a running stroller, and all the many many things that go along with a toddler as well as things for yourself, a car makes it "somewhat" cramped to say the least.So...we now have an Expedition that will hopefully meet all our needs now as well as when we add another child to the mix. Don't hold your breath...that will be at least another 2 years...if you have met our "wild" child, you understand that she is all we can handle right now.We are very excited about our new "bus"...
I was looking for a picture and ran across these pictures, which I think are so cute of Anna Lauren and James. When we were hiding out in Atlanta a couple weekends ago before our big "reveal" that we were there, we went to this great park by Matt's sisters house. It was a beatiful day and the kids had so much fun playing...
Anna Lauren driving the car...she loved it and would go back to it every few minutes...
James...you hold the camera up, and he smiles! Is he not so cute?
Then I hear...look what I picked up on isle 2...and her comes Matt with Anna Lauren in the buggy!
Adam and Anna Lauren sitting on the hay waiting their turn for the hay ride...Anna Lauren "loves" this little boy to death and it has been so fun to watch them grow and finally know how to play together. They are a little rougher with each other than their parents would like sometimes, but they always seem to have a great time together!
Matt and Anna Lauren enjoying the hay ride and looking at all the animals...
Ok...so this is a zedonk (mix between zebra and donkey)...only in Mississippi would you find a zedonk...I'm convinced as this seemed to be the strangest thing to all of us.
Mandi and Anna Lauren looking at all the animals we got to see on the hay ride...
Eugene and Jennifer with the pumpkins they picked from the pumkin patch. Sorry but there are not any pictures of the kids getting their pumpkins. Adam picked the first one he saw and was done before I could even get my camera ready. Anna Lauren was not interested in the least bit as she saw other things to do...
Adam and Anna Lauren playing in the maze of hay...
I tried to get a picture with Anna Lauren on top of the hay bail...she was just interested in sliding down the hay bail like all the other children were doing...busy, busy, busy...I think that is her middle name!
Eugene enjoying the swing...Anna Lauren loved it too but none of the pictures I took of her turned out...
She was still long enough to take one picture with her head in the pumkin and then she was off again. I was a little disappointed as there were all these great photo shoot opportunities, but she would not stay still long enough...she was having a blast just running around and playing.
And her favorite of the whole day...the tractor!
