Quadruple-Booked Weekend

2 weekends ago, we ended up being quadruple-booked for the weekend. We really wanted to be in 4 places at one time! We decided to divide & conquer. Robbie headed to Auburn for the Auburn/LSU game, I headed to Troy for my friend Hayley's wedding reception and Jake headed to Seaside with my parents and his cousins. Unfortunately, McCallie (Robbie's high school) 15-year reunion got the short stick! Maybe we'll make it to the 20th!

I headed to Troy Saturday morning. Hayley & Bobby Jon were actually married in Jamaica a few weeks earlier and were having a reception to celebrate with their friends & family Saturday night. It was great! I hung out with my friends, caught up, stayed out late & then everyone crashed at Jessica's house. It was just like college (except no one actually owned a house in college)! I'm so happy for Hayley & Bobby Jon and had such a great time with my friends celebrating it!

Such a fun night!

 Jake - SEASIDE

My parents decided to plan a last minute weekend trip to the beach. Unfortunately Robbie & I could not go, but my parents asked if they could take Jake. Friday they took the 3 oldest grandchildren down to Seaside (my brother & sister-in-law were joining them late Friday night). We asked my parents were they SURE they wanted to take all 3 kids by themselves? They said absolutely! So off they went!

I'm sure these 2 were very well behaved

Hanging out at the condo (& why does my son have a butt-cut?)

 Mom said when they got to the beach Friday afternoon, as soon as Jake saw it he screamed with excitement. She said he LOVED it. They played & played Friday. In the sand, in water, etc... Jake can be randomly scared of things at random times, so I was really proud of him for being brave & not being scared....

...until later. Saturday, the kids were playing in the water & my mom pointed out that a small school of fish were swimming by their feet. Jake completely freaked out. He would not get back in the water. For the rest of the weekend, unless he forgot, he would not get in the water. Sometimes he would forget & start playing in the water, but if anything touched him, he freaked & ran out. Now that's the Jake I know :)
