Sam's Fam: April 2017

We have had a really fun couple of weeks! The first week in April was Spring Break for the kids. We spent the first half in Chattanooga and the second half in Opelika. We went to Chattanooga for three days with my sister Hillary and her two kids. It was SO much fun!! The day we got there we went to the Tennessee Aquarium. The next day we did the Incline Railway, Lookout Mountain, Rock City, and Coolidge Park. It was a gorgeous day and we enjoyed all the outdoors time. Then our last day there we went to the Children's Discovery Museum. Everything was so fun and the kids loved doing everything with their cousins. And Hillary and I loved our time together too! After Chattanooga we spent the next several days in Opelika. It was fun and low key. We just hung out with Jojo and Pops, and got to hang out with Hillary and the cousins some more. It really was a great week. The next week was the week leading up to Easter and we had several activities. Taylor had an Easter party and egg hunt at her school, which was fun. Then Friday night we had a neighborhood egg hunt. Bryant had a baseball game, so he and Josh did that while I took the younger two to the egg hunt. Then on Saturday we went to the Country Club for their huge egg hunt and other activities. Then on Easter Sunday we went to church, then to lunch with a couple of other families, and then all five of us went to the golf course and played nine holes. Of course Josh and Bryant were the only ones who really played, but everybody got out some and we had a great time! It was such a wonderful weekend filled with friends, our little family of five, and celebrating Jesus! Below are tons of pictures. :)

Thomas was staring down the Easter bunny...

He was not a fan at all. ;)

Sweet girl

Oh precious Sam...I'm sorry Thomas likes to sit on you...

Neighborhood egg hunt...just some of the girls!

Thomas found some eggs, but instead of putting them in his basket and hunting for more, he climbed up the playground and sat down to eat the ones he got! HA!
