Our 4th of July weekend was nice and relaxing. Nana and Papa Joe came down to visit and we had a great time hanging out. Friday they watched Paige for us while we worked. We both got off a little early and were glad because the traffic coming across the bay is bad around the 4th. We ventured out for dinner to a local place, East Shore Cafe. Brad and I both really enjoy this place - they have yummy breakfast and dinner and each visit creates a special memory for us.
Saturday we ate breakfast at one of our favorite breakfast spots, A Spot of Tea in downtown Mobile. They have great breakfast and lunch here - the strawberry tea is must have when you go for lunch!
We spent the afternoon in the pool. Paige even joined us for a little bit! She loved being the water, kicking her little legs around. We grilled out that evening and Matt, Jamie, Ella and Myles joined. I love it when family gets together like that! That is one of the things I miss about being in Huntsville.
We spent a good part of Sunday outside, but don't worry Ellie and Madi stayed cool inside.
We ventured down the Orange Beach Sunday evening for dinner and fireworks. We were going to eat at Cotton's but they were closed. I am not really sure why - could be an every Sunday thing or every holiday thing - who knows. I hope they are not closed for good. We ate at Docs instead. It was great as usual. It did make me a little sad though. 2 years ago we ate there on the 4th of July and had at least an hour long wait. This year we walked on in and didn't have to wait. Last year we found a great spot to watch the fireworks on the beach, so we headed back to that same spot. We were not as lucky this year because there was a brief downpour in what felt like just our little spot about 5 mintues before the fireworks were scheduled to start. Needless to say we were all soaked. Well, all except Paige. Nana had covered her up before heading to the beach and it was that towel that kept Paige dry (and it was the one dry spot on Nana).
Nana and Papa Joe had to leave on Monday, but Paige is ready for them to come back!
