Trip to the Bay with Maw-Maw and Uncle MikeFriday July 10, 2009
ON Friday my grandmother (the kids Great-Grandmother) and i took the kids to the bay for a picnic and to let them throw pennies into the fountain. We were joined by my uncle mike, which my kids were SO EXCITED ABOUT!
When i was little and would come to daphne/fairhope to visit my dad, my Maw-Maw and Da would always load me up in the car and take me to Fairhope Pier to throw pennies into the fountain, and to feed the ducks. Those were prob. my best memories as a young child. I always remember that i would get to sit in my booster seat in the front seat, and Maw-Maw would sit in the back seat, almost like my Da and i were on a date. I remember my Da would put his arm over the seat behind me, i love that man so much.
When we would get down there i always had a bag full of coins to throw into the fountain and was told to make a wish.
I have been so terrible about doing "fun things" with my kids, i think it is because i get rapped up in just being busy! It was so nice to remember my childhood, and how much fun it was to just go relax... and enjoy your kids being little!!!!
