Blueberry Picking and Lemonade Stand

The fun never ends while Jacob is in town!

This morning we picked blueberries at a nearby farm. Yum!

Then, this afternoon Jacob had his own lemonade stand. His profits were over $14! I think it is because of his marvelous business plan that we wrote out beforehand. Way to be a great entrepreneur!

We went to Chattanooga the other day to meet up with my Atlanta friend - Kristi - and her two darling kids - Kat and Calvin. Jacob came along, too, and will stay with us for a little over a week while my folks are house hunting.

All the kids LOVE Jacob. They were so good to hold hands as we walked from place to place. Thank you for being so great with them, Jacob!

We first met up at the downtown riverfront for a picnic and to play in the water.

This was before I put on a swimmy diaper - man, if a diaper is capable of holding THAT much, I must be changing them too frequently! ;)

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a flash thunderstorm came along and rained us out. We got drenched on our way back to the cars. Then it began to hail! Jacob noted that it was pea-sized hail.

We finished our picnic lunch in our cars.

Then we walked to the Creative Discovery Children's Museum.

We finished the day off with dinner at Sticky Fingers and then said our farewells until next time!

The Beach

My Dad recently got a job offer which will move their family out to Utah. My folks decided to have one last trip to the beach before they headed out west and they invited us to join! We are so sad to see them move so far away but we know that this will be good for their family and we wish them the best in their great adventure!

Here are some photos from our trip to St. George Island:

This was Charlotte's 1st trip to a beach and.... She LOVED it!

She loved the sand (she demonstrated this by rolling around in it and "bathing" in it).

She loved the water and the waves. She was completely fearless!

Nothing bothered or scared her. It was such a joy to watch her experience all of this for the first time.

Our Sandcastle...

Only those at who stayed at the Memory Maker will know to look closely at Jacob's tummy to see a faint battle wound - the result of a game of toss with Daniel. Poor Jacob!

There is nothing quite like coloring in the nude on a beach... why do babies get all the fun?? :)

It was a last minute decision, but I am SOOO thankful Daniel was able to pull away from the demands of running his own business for a few days to spend time with his girls on the beach. The time we had together as a family was so special and it meant so much to me that he could be there with us. Thank you, Lovie!
