Awesome Weekend

I will have to play catch up because I am behind about 3 days with the blog. After reading this post, you will see why I haven’t had time to blog. Ready? Here we go.

Friday morning started early because Jenna and I had plans to take Walker to the Science Museum and Planetarium in Macon. This is what we gave him for his birthday. Our friends Kim and Kelsi joined us and they were like the cherry on top! We had so much fun.

They museum was featuring GIANT insects. These things even moved.

 

Jenna, Kelsi, Walker

 

Walker LOVES Science and he is SO fun to be with. He has a great inquisitive mind and a QUICK sense of humor. This was a perfect place to take him and it was more fun for the rest of us because he was there.

 

There was one room called a mini-zoo and it SMELLED horrible.

 

In the Globe Room Jenna found Zambia. Why Zambia? Well, that’s because that is where our friends Julie and Curry are right now. They are on a mission trip.

 

I enjoyed my day with Kim, too. In fact, I enjoyed it so much that we are spending tomorrow together, too.

There was an exhibit of clay sculptures that I later found out that you couldn’t photograph. I do have this one contraband photo, but Oh how I wish I had more. The girls are laughing because Walker was commentating each sculpture. I think this one he said ate too much Mexican food. I just love that boy!

We then headed to an animal show. The lady was great and showed all kinds of animals and gave an informative talk.

Like any good animal show, she pulled out a HUGE snake. I mean HUGE! She carried it around for a long time and finally she asked for a volunteer. Jenna was called and bee bopped on down there. I KNEW what she had volunteered for, but Jenna did NOT. The lady said, “You are going to hold the snake.” To which Jenna quickly replied, “No, I’m not, but that boy up there in the red shirt is gonna hold it.” Ha! That’s my girl.

 

Walker LOVES snakes. In fact, he owns his 3rd snake now. He was SOOOO happy to get the opportunity.

I know the quality of pics is bad, but we couldn’t use the flash because of the animals.

We then headed to the planetarium. I got in trouble AGAIN for my camera. (thus the bad pic with no flash)

Kim and I took them to eat Mexican next.

First, I interrupt this blog post to show you what Jade did the other day. She went in my closet and came out in a red cocktail dress. My!

 

While at Mexican the guys sang to Walker. He was caught WAY off guard. (His bday was a month ago, afterall)

 

Friday night Jeff and I went down to some friends house whose son was getting married on Saturday. Alex had asked Jeff to grill hamburgers for the rehearsal dinner. We had a super fun time. I did not take any pictures. :(

Saturday night Jeff and I went to the wedding. It was held just around the corner from us. The bride’s family moved the old family home from across the street and have set it up in its new home. They have plans to live here in the future. They set the house up VERY high so that there is good stand up room underneath. They have blocked the walls and it is SO nice under there. The house is NO WHERE near move in ready, but in preparation for the wedding they did some serious work. Wow, it was nice.

 

My dates for the wedding. :)

The bridal party came up on a hay ride.

The bride and her father walking down the “aisle”.

 

The wedding was on the steps of the house. Our pastor did the ceremony and he did a great job. You can not see it from the pics, but they had some old church pews and cedar made benches for seating.

 

The newlyweds coming back up the “aisle”.

This pic is under the house and was taken with my phone, so no flash. I LOVED this idea. They had a wardrobe set up and in it was the bride’s parents wedding attire complete with shoes and the bouquet. What a nice touch.

I took more pics, but they are on Jeff’s phone because mine died. We had a dance under the house and It was a lot of fun. They had white lights hung all underneath and they had long sheers hanging in the window openings. I can not wait to see real pics. We stayed until 11:30 pm. Yes, even Jade was happy that late.

We spoke to the groom today and he said the party busted up around 5am!! He said he and the bride left at midnight. I am so glad that we went. Jeff works with the groom, the father of groom, and the other son. Jeff and Alex are good friends and I was glad to be able to be there to celebrate with them. I wish them many years of happiness.

Today we had church, errands, more errands, and oh yea, laundry!

You see why I am behind? Busy! Great Weekend!
