On Day 2, we began the day at the Huntsville Botanical Gardens. The weather was beautiful and sunny, hot as usual, but at least it wasn't raining like it had earlier in the week.
We stopped at the Big Garden, Little Me exhibit and the kids had a great time. These chairs are so huge, my sisters got stuck sliding in them and had a hard time getting out. It was pretty fun watching. Grayson thought the chairs were pretty cool.

There were hammocks just behind the exhibit and the kids had a great time swinging. Of course, several of them just kept flipping the hammocks over but that was equally entertaining for the adults.
 Grayson started falling asleep in the hammock while my mom was pushing him and my nephew David. We went to a couple other areas and then ended our fun morning with a picnic under the trees. After the gardens, we went to my parents' house. Grayson took a nap and the kids played outside while the adults enjoyed chatting inside. We had a potluck dinner and enjoyed some good food. After dinner, the adults and older kids sat down with my dad and aunt and we asked them questions about growing up. It was a lot of fun, we got to hear some really cool stories and had some laughs. I learned some new things about my family that I didn't know. The kids loved hearing the stories and it was just such a special feeling to look around to see my family smiling, laughing and be a part of it. To be able to share family history and become closer was truly a blessing. After family stories, my aunt and uncle shared stories and pictures from their trip around the world. It was amazing! It definitely gave me the travel bug or I should say increased my symptoms seeing as it's a bug I've never quite been able to clear. |
