A Very Special Weekend

This weekend one of our best friends Stephanie was in town for a visit! It was so much fun and we did so much! The weather was absolutely beautiful! We went to the zoo and saw the "DinoAlive" exhibit, went to the beach, ate some great food, went downtown Fernandina, saw a parade, and enjoyed each others company! The pictures tell it all! She is incredible with the kids and really loves them so much! The time went by too quickly and we wish she was still in Florida with us!

Landon and Aunt Stephanie were making kissy faces when we were out to lunch downtown.



A sweet sleeping Elle.

We got to watch a really fun car parade downtown. Stephanie was sitting with Landon while these really cool cars went by.

Checking out the attractions at the farmers market!

Aunt Stephanie and Elle hanging out on our back porch.

Stephanie is a great photographer...do you see Landon in between Paul and I in the background?

Beyah and Bohdi love the beach!

There was a gigantic tide pool and Landon loved walking through it. He just kept going and going and Stephanie got some great pics!

We had a great walk on the beach!

There are 4 of us now! Every time I see pics like this it makes me so happy!

So excited to get on the train!

Paul feeding Elle on the train at the zoo...he loves his baby girl.

Landon fell asleep on the train...holding Aunt Stephanie's hand.

Landon had a lot of fun watching the dinosaurs with Daddy! It was an awesome exhibit!

Mother-Daughter pic in front of the giant T-Rex! Elle was stretching!

Well, this is a funny pic because Paul and I were really excited about the dinosaur we were looking at and apparently Landon wanted to look at the one behind us!

The dinosaurs looked so realistic! And they moved and growled!

Landon wasn't a big fan of the carousel, but as long as I was holding him, he enjoyed himself.

The Jacksonville Zoo was a lot of fun!

We had a great day at the zoo!

Look at how Elle is looking at her Aunt Stephanie! She is wearing the VA Tech booties that Aunt Stephanie gave her!

We rented bikes and it was a lot of fun! Landon LOVED sitting in his seat!

Landon and Stephanie doing a lollipop 'cheers'! Elle is next to her too!...check out the mirror.

It was an awesome visit!! We love you Aunt Stephanie!
