Where I've Been!

Yikes! Almost a week since I've blogged. I have good reason though... let me recap.

Last Thursday, Anthony's Poppa, Aunt Carolyn & Saint arrived in town to visit with us for the evening. They were on their way to Maine for a visit and they parked their RV at the campground right down the road from us. Poppa came over and visited and played with Bailey (and by the way, taught her a new game of dressing her baby dolls in her own clothes!) while Carolyn and Saint got set up at the campground. Then a little later Carolyn and Saint came over and we had hot dogs and hamburgers for dinner. We had a great time visiting with them and were SO glad they got to come.

Then Friday morning, we headed out for a weekend in VA Beach. First though, we stopped at Busch Gardens for the afternoon. We got there a little after 1:00 and stayed until a little after 8:00. Jon & Sam and the boys, and Brynn and Mady came after Jon and Brynn got off work so we got to spend the evening with them, so that was a lot of fun.

Saturday morning, Bailey and I went over to visit with Amanda and Lily. I think Bailey and Lily had fun playing together. It was really cute to see them up on Lily's bed looking at books together. This is something I used to dream about--- Amanda and my children playing together! :) Maybe someday they'll be college roommates. :)

Then after lunch and naptime, Chris, Laura and Elena came over for a while. Elena is such a hoot and has quite the vocabulary! :) One time, we were sitting at the table, the girls having a snack, I think, and Elena, out of nowhere says, "The cheese stands alone!". Hahahaha. I guess she just blurts out whatever comes to her mind. It was hilarious!

Saturday evening, after dinner (yummy enchiladas... my mother-in-law makes the best food!) Anthony's parents treated us to Dairy Queen, mostly so Linda and I could try the new pecan pie blizzard. It was yummy, though I'll probably stick to my regular Georgia Mud Fudge blizzard. I'm a chocolate girl, what can I say? :)

Sunday was church of course, and a fun, loud, chaotic day with ALL sixteen of the Tylers (almost seventeen, whenever baby Jack decides to come)! I can't believe there are sixteen of us. I was getting plates out for lunch and was thinking, "wow, this is a lot of plates", haha! After everyone was gone Sunday evening we watched a Ben Affleck movie... can't remember what it was called now, but it was good.

Then today, Monday, we headed for Busch Gardens again. We met up with Sam and the boys and had a great time with them again. This weekend was my first time at BG ever, and I LOVED it. I just love the atmosphere there, and loved how friendly the majority of the workers were. I know Bailey had a great time. I'm looking forward to sharing more about the BG trips once I get my pics and videos uploaded.

So that is where I've been. Busy living life and having lots of fun!
