Manville's picnic

We spent Saturday at Fort Yargo state park where Poppa's work had a picnic. Jacob enjoyed being out of the house and running through the woods (Nona in tow). He also fit right in the with the Manville crew. As the man started to call out Bingo numbers Jacob decided to help by repeating every sound the man made. I had no idea Bingo players were so serious. I don't think they were too thrilled with the small echo. Anyway, Jacob loved being with his favorite person and I tried to take some pictures. Enjoy!

Rock Band with Uncle Rob

We celebrated Uncle Rob's birthday on Saturday. Everyone chipped in and his friend Jonathon bought him Rock Band. Rob never left the TV. It was wonderful to see him have such a good time. Jacob enjoyed his time with Audra. He loved on her every second he got. A real ladies man.

Children's museum

Jacob finally was able to visit the Children's museum. We went today with a friend of mine. He loved every minute of it. I think his favorite part was the water exploring. He even tried to climb into the tank. Good thing I brought a change of clothes.

We went to Stephanie and Chris' house on Saturday. Chris cooked out hot dogs and hamburgers. They were sooooooo yummy. Jacob played in the Poooooo and Stef and I jumped in for a little while. We had a really good time, but due to nap time we couldn't stay long. Thanks Stef and Chris!!!!!

VBS

Well, VBS is coming to a close tonight. I was the older children's teacher, hmmmm! Jacob really enjoyed the music end, but really didn't like being left by Mommy and Nona. I think he wanted free run of the church. Here is a few pictures. Jacob is going through this stage where he doesn't want his picture taken. If he sees the camera his bottom lip comes out and he shouts at me. Oh well!

4th of July bash @ the Ga Aquarium

Uncle Rob inside with the fishes.

Our very first trip to the aquarium and it was on the 4th of July. Are we crazy? Maybe a little, but we had good reason. Uncle Rob, Pill(Phil), Ms. Kathy, and Mr. Davis all jumped in with the whale sharks and swam. Jacob loved every minute of it and didn't even have a nap all day. Ashraf had never even seen most of these animals so it was precious to watch him and Jacob see them for the 1st time. After the "dive"we headed to Rob and Amanda's for a feast......hot dogs and hamburgers galore. YUM!

Garden City Beach, SC

We made it back from the beach in one piece. It was a wonderful trip and very much needed by all of us. Jacob was a tad nervous at first with the ocean but by the end of the week he would walk right up to the edge and play. The sand became his friend and he spent most of his days building dream castles. Most of his fun was spent playing with his "boy" cousins. He was so thrilled to be around them even if they were doing nothing.

Here he is piled high on top of his buddies. Poor Cole got the raw end of the deal...bottom.

In the midst of building those castles.
