We knew this year that our vacation would be going to AL to see family. We were looking forward to this a lot and just having some time away. Because of this, we planned ahead and wanted to do some fun things that we don't normally get to do when we come to AL. We stayed at Mom's house this time so Grace had a lot of fun with the boys and Emily as well.
One day we went to Nocculula Falls. Grace has only been there when it was cold to see the Christmas lights. This time we got to eat at the Jack's there and play on the new and improved play ground and see the beautiful Falls, ride the train, walk around the park, and do the petting zoo as well. The boys and Emily went with us and Nana and Paw Paw and they all had a blast! Too bad the miniature golf wasn't open on that day. This is also special to us because it also happens to be the place Adam proposed to me :) We also got to meet up with a great friend of ours Shea, and spend time with her little boy and girl, Corbin and Naomi! Grace was being a Mommy to Naomi. :) Shea's husband was at work.
We also took a day to go to the Imagination Place in Gadsden. A place I remember going to as a child as well and having a lot of imaginary fun! It is new and improved as well. After that we went to Jack's (again, my favorite!:) and some of us shared an ice cream cone as well and we sat by the water as we ate!
My great aunt did pass away just a couple of days before going 'home' so Mom and I went to the funeral on Monday while Adam and Gary watched all of the boys, Emily, and Grace. They took them to another park that day too! My brother, Greg came for the funeral so we were so glad to see him as well. We were able to work it out to meet up at Arby's and let Grace get a milkshake and see Uncle Greg for a while! Grace thought he was funny and was happy to see him!
One day, Adam's mom ended up with a terrible migraine so we ended up postponing our day to see them but went to see Adam's sister Carey and Vann and Amanda for a bit. Then on Thursday, we cooked out with the Brown's and got to see more family and hang out! The kids always have fun together! Some of the pics I don't have too because they are on Adam's phone.
It was a great trip with a mix of fun activities and great visits!
