The Circle City and the Beach

Hello friends!

In April, we took a trip to Alabama and Florida.  Anderson turned 4 on April 22 and we had his birthday party at Mom's house once again. It is always so nice to head back to the real South. Texas is nice, but Alabama will always be home. We enjoy seeing all of our family and so does Anderson.

We spent some time at Gami and Pappy's house

Anderson got to spend some time with his cousins. I love this, because I think that family is very important...especially cousins, they are your life long friends.

Adam and Anthony are so crazy!!

We also spent some time with my Daddy and Mimi. I love this picture of Daddy and Anderson swinging.....so sweet!

We stayed some time at Mom's house. It's where I grew up. It's where I feel at most like myself. Really loved that Anderson got to help Mom in the yard and swing on a real tire swing. 

Being in Dothan made Gus happy too!

We then headed down to Panama City Beach, FL to (as Anderson would say) Papa Ivey's Old Beach House. I truly think of the beach as my second home and hope that one day we will live close enough so Anderson can experience that feeling too. 

Of course our first stop in town was Thomas Doughnuts :) 

Then to the enjoy the beach

Finally we took Anderson to Miracle Strip at Pier Park. It makes me sad that the old Miracle Strip that we grew up with is not there. But hopefully, they will get more rides at Pier Park. 

Be back soon with Anderson's birthday pictures....promise!
