Alabama

On Thursday evening we packed our car with entirely way too much stuff and we headed to AL on Friday afternoon. Gigi was so excited to go to Alabamomma (as she calls is) because she was going to see Joshua! She had been talking about the trip the entire week. 

We got to Titi Carmen's house & Gigi was ready to play! And I was ready to meet my newest niece, Anna. The kids ran around the house playing and we finished off the evening with some ice cream! It was Gigi's first time having Mint Chocolate Chip - she enjoyed it! 

The next morning we got up & went back to Titi Carmen's for breakfast and were off to Vaughn Park. All the kids had a GREAT time. We blew bubbles, attempted to fly a kite, played football & soccer, & of course played with ALL the playground equipment the park had to offer. Gio & Anna played in the shade on a blanket & kept each other company. After about 3 hours at the park, we headed back to Titi Carmen's for a cookout & more playing!

We headed back home in the late afternoon.. Gigi & Gio were asleep before we got on the highway. We all had a wonderful time. It was great to see Gigi enjoy the company of so many of her cousins. We are already planning our next trip.. maybe to the beach next time :)
