The 2nd weekend in June was the annual Blackwell family reunion in Birmingham, AL. We headed out early that Sunday morning and got to B'ham around 11:00 a.m. We ate a great meal, took some picts, let the kids and cousins play, and got back on the road only to be home before 5 p.m. It was a long day and a QUICK trip (much more time spent in the car, than at the reunion!), but it makes Pop smile, so we will attend every year as long as our schedule permits :)
ALL of our family in attendance!
The middle of June Tim, Ella, & I took our first ever "just the 3 of us" family vacation to Hot Springs, AR. We had the best time doing our own thing on no one's schedule but our own. We rented a condo right on the lake that was convenient to everything! The sunset view from our balcony at night was BEAUTIFUL. We went to Magic Springs water park one day, rented a pontoon boat for the afternoon, swam, shopped, ate good food, & we even carried Ella to the Alligator Farm where we fed goats and baby alligators. She loved it even more so than I thought & wasn't the least bit scared of the goats. I, on the other hand, squealed like a baby anytime one got too close :) So glad she is a tough, strong little girl unlike her mommy @ times - LOL
One cool girl! Shades & all :)
Such a big girl!
Any kids dream!

July is a MUCH slower month for us. We will be home from now until late summer when we will travel to Nashville for Tim's cousins wedding for a long weekend and then off to the beach w/ friends in October. Enjoy the picts & I hope everyone is having a wonderful summer. This weather has been so nice with the humidity not being too bad yet. Enjoying it while we can :)
