Alabama 2009

We spent the last week of summer in Alabama. We started out in Auburn for Fan Day and then headed close to Selma to stay one night in the RV with Granny and Papa. Sydney and Mac love the RV and all that goes with it. We then set out for Clanton. Granny and Papa have a huge yard and the kids just love to run and play all day. Sydney learned to ride her bike without training wheels and spent most of her time concentrating on that skill. Mac concentrated on running. We also spent an afternoon with my nephew and niece. Sydney and Mac love to play with their cousins. They have the best time with Granny and Papa and are always looking forward to visiting Alabama.

After Clanton, we went to Pulaski, TN to see the over 100 year old farmhouse my parents renovated. They did a great job and spent many, many hours on it themselves. I wish I had some pictures of the house to share. Pulaski is a really quaint town, with a good bit of unique activities. Mac and Sydney loved finding the turkeys downtown, having ice cream, sitting in the big chair, etc... And the hills of Tennessee are absolutely beautiful.

With one of the many turkeys in Pulaski, Tennessee. They loved finding them downtown.
Sydney and Mac enjoyed their $1 ice cream at the drug store in Pulaski. You can also get a nickel soft drink.

Our only girl cousin, Jenna. Sydney loved watching her practice cheerleading. It brought back a few childhood memories for me as well. There is something sweet about cheering for the local Pee Wee football team.
It is a good thing I got my new bike because Sydney learned to ride her bike without training wheels! We rode around our neighborhood trail (3 miles) last weekend, twice. I was huffing and puffing, but Sydney could have gone a few more laps.
