Alabama

The first week of October we headed out to Alabama to my sister, Penny's house. Troy was scheduled to preach a revival at their church and there was no way we were letting him go without us! We piled in the van and headed out! The cousins were all thrilled at the thought of getting to spend a full week together even if they did have to go to church every night! :) While we were there the kids decided it was time to paint the fort.....and themselves! Thankfully they were all wearing clothes that could go straight to the trash when the mission was accomplished! They started out staying pretty clean but if only I would have gotten a picture of the boys when it was done!!! I'm not sure if the fort or the boys had more paint! Great memories were made so they cheerfully scrubbed, and scrubbed, and scrubbed some more trying to get clean in time for church! We still found some paint in hair a few days later...but hey, who cares!

Travis and Branden getting ready for some serious work!~


Taking a short break for some lunch


Jillayne stayed about the cleanest!!



I'm not really sure how this happened mom!



Miss Alissa hard at work!




Alex found a water spout close by and there he stayed!! He hates his hands to be dirty so he didn't paint for long.....





Just long enought to get it all over his face!!!

Fun in Alabama

Our family ended Youth camp tour on Friday night in Pleasant Grove, Alabama. We were going to leave on Saturday morning and head for home. A terrible winter storm had hit Cape during the week and left it covered in about 3 inches of ice topped off with 4-6 inches of snow! We were going to be unable to have church and also unable to get into our driveway so...we staying where it was only about 60 degrees! :) Thanks to our great friends, the Snodgrasses who so graciously let us hang out at their house! The kids were all thrilled we were staying as you can see by the happy smiles!


Lauren and Katie...best of friends!

Andrea...I'm not sure what she was doing! Look at that out of control hair- where was her mom?
