Fourth of July Weekend

We went to the beach for the fourth of July. I was so glad to see the beach back in business, especially since the oil spill last year and the recent fire in the state park. It was so crowded and the water was great! Lawson loves the beach! He had all the necessities...toys, juice boxes, and a baby pool. We ate in every night since we knew the restaurants would be crowded. Saturday night we took Lawson to the Track. It was so weird being back there. We used to go there every year as a kid and now we were there with ours. They have a little kiddy area there with rides for his age. He rode the carousel twice, the train and the swings. Unfortunately the only pictures I have are from my BIL's phone because my camera was dead and my phone was in the car. He loved riding the rides. He kept saying "WEEEEE" on every ride. Sunday we just went to the beach and then ate dinner at the house. Mitch and I took him to the ice cream shop after dinner.

We left early on Monday to try andbeat the traffic. It was a fun and relaxing weekend at the beach!!

Trip to Atlanta

The weekend after father's day, we went to visit Poppy and GiGi for the weekend. Lawson had a new cousin that was born in April so we wanted to visit her as well. We left on Friday afternoon and got stuck in a horrible storm the entire way to their house. It didn't let up once. Then on Saturday, we had a big day filled with the aquarium, playing in the park, lunch at the CNN building and dinner at a pizza place. Lawson had a blast at the aquarium. He would get right up next the glass and just say "wow" the whole time. He saw quite a few turtles, which are his favorite right now. He kept say "yook atutle"! He had so much fun playing at the playground in Centennial Park with his cousin Makenzie. He was a trooper too and conked out on us on the way home. Luckily he wentdown easilyonce at the house for a few hours. After his nap we headed back to the second park. Right by my dad's house, they have a great park area. Lawson played, went down the slide and played on the swings forever. Sunday, my grandmother came over for lunch. We visited with her a while and headed back after having lunch. It was a great weekend!!!
