Ron and I became very close friends with Jenna and Michael that short year we lived in Auburn. Michael and Ron met through work relations and both happened to have significant others named Jenna. We have remained close with these two and after two years, finally convinced them to pay us a visit. We've seen them several times over the last few years. As you recall, when I drive to North Carolina, I always make a stop at their casa in Auburn on the way and Ron recently went to the Talladega Nascarr Race with Michael. Grant was thrilled to have them stay with us!
We had a very relaxed weekend but managed to fit a lot of monkeying around in...
We had dinner at The Fly Creek Cafe in Fairhope Friday night and enjoyed a great reggae band...
Shopped all day in Fairhope on Saturday and Grant even got in a little bit of time at the park...
Saturday night we enjoyed fantastic food. Michael is an excellent chef and took over our kitchen!
Jenna and Grant looking at his Tractor book. Grant's wearing an Aubun T-shirt that they brought him. War Eagle!
Shrimp, Corn, Sausage, Cheese... we had filet for dinner
Sunday we dared the crowds and went to Gulf Shores.
The weather was great, the water was warm and Grant loved the sand!
Our friends, Angel and Joel met us all down there and Grant was so excited to play with his friend, "Memma!"
Grant thinks Emma's a Star!
"Watch Out for that Wave!"

After making fun of a couple of women that had their pictures made with the lifeguard, Jenna, Angel and I got the nerve to do it ourselves. Well actually, I asked if we could take our picture in the lifeguard stand with them and was shot down... we settled for this.
Grant wanted in on the lifeguard action as well and got to go for a test drive in the "beach tractor."
We all had such a fun weekend. Sometimes my camera was around, sometimes it wasn't, sometimes (the majority of the time) it wasn't charged. Oh, and Friday morning I awoke with pink eye, (which has been a nightmare!) Excuse me, for not wanting to take any pictures!! Sorry there are so many loopholes in my storytelling but all in all, we had a great Memorial Day Weekend. Today was spent at home with laundry and lots of fun outside with "Mall," Grant's friend Camille whom her family calls, "Mil," and Grant pronounces, "Mall."
And if you really want to see how much Grant has grown in a year, click here to see what we were up to last year on Memorial Day!
Look at y'all! Skinny Minnies!! ;) looks like a great weekend!
