Well weekend wanderings of course...
We spent the weekend {a long weekend} in Mobile...Because Frank can work at their Mobile office we left Thursday night so he could put in a full day of work here on Thursday and there on Friday. The rest of us wondered what we would do? ShuShu, Aunt Anna, and Uncle Bill were all at work. Our Mobile friends were at school. Where could we play? The little people are always a hit and the little house is cool, but we needed something new, something different.
Ah Ah...
The Mobile Carnival Museum
My children loved going to the Mardi Gras parades when were home a few weeks ago so we decided to continue the festivities. We went to the Mobile Carnival Museum. If you find yourself in the bay area or live there and want something to do on a dreary rainy day, I highly recommend it! We payed $7 for admission for four {plus as much for peanut butter and mint moonpies when we left}. That money provided hours of entertainment. Take friends...the more the merrier.
There was a float...
There were costumes...
We threw beads...
We laughed...
We climbed...
We changed clothes and danced...
There are no pictures to prove it, but rumor has it that there were two of these dresses. Mary Frances and I both wore one and danced together. Wish you had been there...
On with our wanderings ~ no pictures, but we spent the afternoon playing outside with friends. The babies napped {inside}, the mommies sewed {you do know that Easter is coming and it's early}, and the big kids played. Family dinner with ShuShu's famous lasagna for supper.
Saturday wanderings~ the girls went to Aunt Anna's baby shower. No pictures because I sent the camera with Frank. The boy's went to Baldwin County to support my brother and his dog Grenny. Grenny is an almost three year old black lab who my brother has spent an extrodinary amount of time and energy training. She was participating in hunt trials which I can't say I understand completely, but I do know she got three passes which is excellent. We are all very proud of Bill and Grenny.
Of course Stephen made a new friend...that's why we call him "the mayor!"
To complete our weekend we ate an easy, casual dinner with good friends...Thank you Anne & Chris ~ you were especially sweet to include my mom!
So glad that we got to spend lots of time with y'all. The boys are looking at your pictures and begging me to take them to the Mardi Gras Museum. I've added it to my list of things to do this summer when we are out of school!
