Last week, a group of girls from church and our kiddos ventured up to Banks, AL to McClelland's Critters. It was once a zoo for handicap children only, but in order to pay the bills, they have opened to the public. We enjoyed it. When we parked the car, the goats met us in the driveway. We ate our lunch, and then Mr. Mike (who's an Austrailian man with a thick accent) took us on the tour of all his critters. He tells you all about all of them and makes the lions and tigers growl, and he gets the snakes out of the cage so you can wrap it around your neck if you're feeling brave. We enjoyed it. I'll go back if anyone wants to go.
It was about 105 degrees on this particular day. Can you tell Eli's ready to go? :)
Sawyer didn't know what to think about the monkey.
He drank a Diet Coke and another one ate a bag of chips and got MAD AS FIRE if Mr. Mike tried to take it from him.The next day we headed to the beach...
Last weekend was our annual beach trip with the Williams side of the family. We went to PCB Thursday and came home Sunday. We had a lot of fun, but I admit having two kiddos at the beach is also a lot of work! It's AMAZING how much stuff is required for a weekend getaway! I love these boys more than I could try and explain, but I watched ladies lay on their floats out in the ocean without a care in the world, and I thought that sure does looks nice!
Actually, Walker did keep both boys with him in the condo for nap time, so I did spend a couple of hours each day just soaking up the sunshine. I am very fortunate to REALLY like my sister-in-laws! I got to spend some quality time with Jennifer and Diana, and the more time I spend with them, the more I like them.
Eli was a trooper the whole time. He seems to enjoy life in general, and I think he's about as easy going as any eight-month old (definitely my easier one right now). Sawyer liked the ocean, building sandcastles and loved the pool...but when someone shot a firework while we were out looking for crabs Saturday night, he had a BREAKDOWN! It scared him to death. He just buried his head in my chest, and there were no words to console him until we made it back to the elevator. He told me about 50 times, "I don't like that noise." I HOPE we'll have fun tomorrow night watching fireworks. He's acting excited, we'll see! There really is no telling!
