Family, friends and fun in Alabama

Makayla and I took a trip to Alabama to visit family and friends. Jeff's dad and grandparents came out to Texas to visit us for a week. We had a wonderful time! Since they drove the motorhome out here, Makayla and I decided to ride back to Alabama with them. We left Saturday morning (July 11th). The drive took about 12 1/2 hours. Makayla did such a good job. She had to stay in her carseat unless we were stopped. When we stopped, she was able to get out and crawl around for a few minutes. She was SO GOOD. She hardly cried at all and just slept most of the time. We were so tired when we got there. We stayed at Jeff's dad's house that night and went to meet my sister the next day. We were able to see baby Hayden for the first time. She is so tiny and so sweet. She really looked little next to Makayla! We spent a lot of time hanging out at Nana's house so that all of the kids could play together. Jordan and Abby had such a good time playing with Mak. Abby especially loved to "mother" her. She's such a good helper. Mak loved having them around to play with. We were also able to get together with some of my friends from college that have never met Makayla. One of my friends, Jennifer, has a 1 yr old daughter so they played. We met them at the Summit to eat lunch at the California Pizza Kitchen, which was yummy!! Then, we went to Jennifer's house so that the girls could play and we could catch up. The girls had fun playing and we had a great time too!
One afternoon, we went over to Alison's house to visit. Alison was able to practice her mommy skills since she's due in March! We decided to go for a swim since it was such a nice day!
We had a WONDERFUL time visitig our famiy and friends! We took a lot of pictures so here's a slideshow! Enjoy!
