Alford Family Fall Vacation

This year for our Alford family fall vacation we went to Toledo Bend in Louisiana. We had such a great time! We got there very late on a Friday night and I had to leave Sunday for work but Curt and the kids got to stay until Monday. On Friday night, we stayed up until 2 am playing games and just having a great time with family! On Saturday, we went to Natchitoches, Louisiana and visited the Alligator Park where we saw huge alligators, small alligators, white alligators, and baby alligators. The neatest part was watching them be fed and jump for the meat. The kids had a great time and it was so worth the trip there! We then went and ate on the square and had a day of shopping with the family! It was fun! We stayed in a house right on the lake and the kids got to spend time fishing and kayaking and just exploring. The trip was complete with s'mores, hamburgers, and tons of laughs! Thank you Alfords for a great time!!!

Curt Turns 1 Year Older!

We had a great time with friends celebrating the big 40 for Curt!!!  We scheduled a dance lesson at Fred Astaire Dance Studio and had a group lesson in country and salsa dancing!  It was so fun!  We learned some new moves and even the people who say they don't dance had a blast!  It was great to see everyone and loved that the variety of styles of dance appealled to everyone!  Then we went to Kobe and enjoyed dinner at hibachi Japanese restaurant with friends!  Tons of good fun and so many great friends and family!  Thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate his great night!  (My hubby is old!!!!)

We are on our way!  Kidless for the night!

Dewberry Farms 2011

We had a fabulous warm day yesterday spent at Dewberry Farms.  We started last year going with the Heemer family and decided that we would make it a little tradition!  It was so fun to go and do things a little different than we did last year.  We spent time on the bouncing pillow, walking through the corn maze, swinging on a rope swing into mounds of hay, riding the cow train, going down slides free standing and on the side of a hill, going into the black hole room, enjoying the beautiful view of the pumpkins in the patch, and just watching the kids enjoy everything!  It is fun watching all four kids play...so close in age and all blondies!!!
Colson's favorite: "The black Hole room was so funny!"
Brooklyn's favorite: "Holding onto the twin pumpkin I found and sliding down the hill slide!"
Thank you Heemers for a great time!
