Our Vacation...some snipets...part 1

Ok - we start with the drive and a night in Nashville (our breaking point so the kids (ok, all of us) didn't loose it!
..


We stayed at a hotel in nashville where we went swimming (well, Gabby, Daddy, mommy and Alexis did)...Ty fought it tooth and nail! We did, however, get him in a little, and probably scarred him for the rest of his life...by dunking him...oye). We ended the night in the hotel with Gabby telling daddy to get out of their (being hers and Tyler's bed). He needed to go sleep with Mommy...she was very frustrated that daddy was taking up all of their room!


and the next morning, headed to Alabama to meet Miles and see Aunt Stephanie and Uncle Dave - oh, and Happy Father's Day to both of our Dads, Jeremy and Uncle Dave!















We went to see where Uncle Dave works (Uof Alabama - Roll Tide) and got some gear! We so loved hanging with the brewer clan! Gabby made a welcome Miles card and gave it to him (well, she gave it to Aunt Stephanie...and we gave the newest monkey a little blue dog...i got it six months ago...I knew she was having a boy!








Thanks to Aunt Stephanie, Uncle Dave and Mr. Miles for hosting us in their beautiful home and for sharing the beauty that is Tuscaloosa with us (as well as uncle Dave's brisket (sp?) and mashed potatoes...We got some downhome Alabama BBQ at Archibalds (it was great!) and swam in the Brewer's newly aquired pool (Gabby had so much fun and even came back with some tan lines - yes she had sunscreen on, but still got a bit of a tan).





Daddy turned our kids onto something new...southern sweet tea. After just one meal with it, they new that daddy's was the good drink and mom's was not the one to drink from (i like mine - no sugar and with lemon...) I'm sure that they drank an olympic size pool's worth of sweet tea while we were on vacation...ugh. that would explain some of their behavior!











Aunt Stephanie and Miles took us to the Tuscaloosa Children's hands on museum...we had so much fun!



The Tell children and their children
All of the Tell Grandchildren Lex wanted to give kisses!

The next post will be a continuation of our vacation...but this one was long enough!
