We have been non-stop busy since we got here, so I'll have lots of fun pictures to share. We went to Nashville with my sister, her son and my mom. We got to go watch my other nephew's school play first and then my sister checked her youngest son out and we headed out to Nashville for the day. Grayson was so excited to walk around with Jacob (my nephew) and hold his hand. Jacob is so sweet with him, he always looks out for him and plays with him. They are so cute together.
We got to go to the Tennessee State Museum. It was a lot of fun to walk around and see all the different things they had.

On our way home we had to stop at Trader Joe's and stock up on some stuff there since that is the closest one to us. My sister had never been before, so it was fun to show her around. While we were walking around the store, Grayson and Jacob had to be next to each other in the carts the whole time. Jacob would hold the carts together to keep them from being separated. If we tried to separate the carts the two of them would reach their hands out to each other across the aisle. It was so so cute.
On that Saturday, we went to Scottsboro, where my sister Sarah lives with her family. They were having their annual Catfish Festival and so we went to check it out. It was a really humid day, but we still had a good time. There was an antique car show, lots of vendors, some games for kids and of course a catfish fry.
There were some dogs available for adoption and Grayson went nuts. He was so excited to see all of the dogs and he had to run around and pet all of them.

Grayson tried all of the food at the fish fry: catfish, hushpuppies, coleslaw and of course oatmeal cream pies! He loved all of it. There was a really pretty walking trail that we took to walk back to my sister's house.
Yes, it was very beautiful until I stepped in a pile of fire ants. Have not missed those guys. Luckily, Grayson wasn't anywhere near me so he didn't get bit. My parents took him further down the trail while Trevor helped me to beat the ants off of my legs. Needless to say my feet were on fire and I had a ton of ant bites on my feet and ankles. Thank goodness for Benadryl! Other then that, it was a fun day!



OH! You look like you are having the time of your life. We really miss having you guys around. Doing this recovery without all you guys has been really difficult. I wish we could all just teleport to each other and stay in contact all summer long. Please keep your blog updated so I can keep up. I spend so much time on the computer while recovering and feeding that I pray there is something new to read. Thanks for everything you have done for us. Can't wait to see you again in a few months!
