Spring Break Fun!

It was a long, but very eventful and enjoyable week traveling the open roads of North Carolina. The first stop was in beautiful Jacksonville, FL visiting Jessica, Larry, Natalie, Ashlyn, and Tighe. We had a blast as usual. :) We went to Clay County Fair and saw all the live stock. It is kind of funny how life changes....in past years all I would wanted to have done was ride the rides, but now being older and a mom, I wanted to show her all the animals. hmmm...life is changing a lot recently....

Derick showing O'lena a bunny. She was like "What in the world?" They also had hairy chickens. I never seen chickens so fluffy before. They were neat.

Uncle holding Tiggy. He is so cute! I can't believe how big he is getting! Man, babies change so much don't they!?

Jessica: You know every time I hear ABBA song "If you change your mind, I'm the first in line..tiggy tighe, tiggy tighe, tiggy tighe tighe tighe" I think of you guys. And believe it or not I hear it a lot because I have the Mamma Mia soundtrack in my CD player in the car right now. :)

Our next stop was to go see my Aunt Lorie's family for Easter. We totally surprised my Grandma Lee (she lives with my aunt.) She had no idea that we were coming! It was great! I think she only put O'lena down to eat and sleep. Grandma was great with her. It was great to see her too. We haven't seen her in over a year The family together coloring eggs.O'lena coloring eggs....yeah she fell asleep...Next stop: Nama and Popy's house. It was their first time seeing the baby too. It was a quick trip; only 2 days and I have decided that it was too short. Life just seems to move so much slower and more comfortably in Murphy NC. I am just so much more relaxed. I love it there. 2 days was just not long enough. I never got to hold the baby there too. She was always in the arms of a grandparent. It was cute. She just hung out with everyone. Can you believe it!? One night after her bath her hair actually stayed down!! It did that for a couple of day. It was awesome. She looked like a normal baby with out crazy hair! I think she thought the stay in the NC was too short too. By the time we were leaving she was having just about enough of the car. She did fairly well driving. It did take us a lot longer than we ever expected to get anywhere. The 6 hour drive from Jessica to my aunt's took 8 hours. It it took us 4 hours longer than normal to do the drive home. Of course there were a few stops along the way. We had to stop at the Bass Pro in Macon and we HAD to find a Bo Jangles. Derick and I never been to one and he really wanted to go and see what it was like. After some road confusion we finally found one. The vote is in: better than Popeye's.
