Skipping school!

The second week in March we (me and the kids) skipped school! We couldn't turn down the opportunity to come to Birmingham with Keith for a conference, to see friends and family, and stay at Ross Bridge! We were surprised to see how excited the kids were to spend a few days in a hotel, I think the last time we stayed in one with the kids was probably 3 or 4 yrs ago! So Elizabeth Anne thought she had died and gone to heaven staying in the "castle." Harrison referred to it as Hogwarts from Harry Potter:). Their favorite memories were, spying on people from the balcony, jumping from bed to bed and swimming!




Sophia came to sleep over one night and loved swimming too, even though she had just had her tonsils out on Monday of that week! She is a tough cookie! This picture cracks me up, double trouble!!!









Old buddies!



While we were there we celebrated Grandaddy's birthday with him! Harrison, Jack, Grandaddy and Grant enjoying birthday cake!


The only bad part of the trip was the LONG ride home! To document the fun I took a picture of the back seat riders, while Mimi and Daddy rode up front. I think Sissy's "exxpression" about sums it up, Whew! Not doing that again for a while!:)






And the fun didn't stop there, we had to also add Maggie to the list of passengers...along with her diapers and the many questions that followed from the kids! Too much for one day!
