"Efanants"

This was such a beautiful (and busy and fun) weekend! The weather was great...it was nice to finally see some warm days that we could actually enjoy being outside! Friday afternoon, I took Molly to see the circus here in town. It was only here for one day, but they had two different shows...one at 4:30 and one at 7:30. We opted for the earlier show, hoping it would be a little less crowded. But, it was still packed. Molly was so excited & couldn't wait to see a real, live "efanant". My moma, Braylon, my aunt & uncle and my little cousin Rhiana went with us. The kids absolutely loved it! It was the first time any of them had seen elephants, lions, tigers, camels, etc! And, I must say, I was pretty impressed with the show myself...it was very entertaining! The kids enjoyed riding the ponies when we arrived...

And getting up close & personal with the elephants during intermission...After the circus (& 2 bags of cotton candy, a magic light-up wand, and a circus coloring book), we met Eric, Shannon & Robin at Ware's for supper. It was SO packed that night...but, as always, the food was great!

Saturday morning, me, Molly & Robin took off to Statesboro to hit Hobby Lobby. I absolutely love that store! I bought some new ribbon to make a few hairbows with & a couple of little Easter & Valentine's "what-nots" for the house. They always have the cutest things! We also stopped by Petco where Molly enjoyed seeing all the pets. She saw the "biggest mouse her had ever seen" which was actually a guinea pig...she gets so excited! And, of course, no trip to Statesboro is complete without stopping by Nikko's for some Japanese...yum yum!

We met up with the whole crowd Saturday night at Coleman's Lake for supper. It was the first time we'd been there in quite a while. It was very good. Afterwards, a few of us stopped by the Mason's to welcome Cliff home. And, no trip to the Mason's is complete without playing the Wii. Yesterday was such a pretty day & we took advantage of it by staying outside all day. Me, Molly, Eric and Shannon rode the rangers up town to the Waffle King for lunch. We then rode all over the place...through the woods, around the pond, even to the schools to visit the petting zoo & playgrounds. We had everyone come over & shoot skeet at the pond that afternoon. Then, we headed over to the Mason's for Supper Club...you can check out some of the pictures from Supper Club here. It was a very busy weekend, but it was so much fun!

Myrtle Beach 2007

Here's a video of Molly & Caroline running from the waves on our 2007 vacation to Myrtle Beach. It's amazing to see how much they have changed since then. Enjoy...
