This picture just makes me smile. Ah, boys.
Monday, we were supposed to take all the kiddos horseback riding, but that fell through, so instead, Jim and Doug took the boys fishing at the state park, and Sara and I took the girls uptown to Nashville to shop!
Why yes, I did buy Erin and Tabitha matching Hello, Kitty (or, Hi, Kitty-kitty, as Tabitha would say) candy bracelets to fend off the crankiness that was starting to set in after two hours of shopping.
Should have bought these shades for Erin. But I’m cheap. And they were $8. (And a month later, I found an equally Hollywood-esqu pair at Wallyworld for $1. Score!)
Saltwater taffy break!
My favorite girls, and the bench Sara fell in love with, and the neatest shop ever. There is a story to come about the awesome proprietor of this place…
And now we move to the afternoon/evening portion of the day.
A gratuitous Zeke-self-portrait (the first of many, I discovered when downloading the pics off my camera)…
With appropriate cheering section, of course…
And cake……
Lots and lots of yummy homemade birthday cake, with fresh whipped cream…
And then there was fire….
Doug and Jim became masters of this (so awesome!) firepit. They worked on the week’s first fire while Sara and I….um, who knows what we were doing? Bedtime routine? Laundry? Who knows?
Ah, the view straight up from the deck.
Day two……smashing success! No injuries, no accidents, no plans gone awry (after we got over the horse riding failure). Vacation 2011, you’re treating us well!
