So We're Home

Alabama was great.  Our family reunion was great.  I enjoyed it all.
We left on Thursday and hung out that night at my aunt and uncle's house.  We gave birthday presents to my younger cousin.  She turned 5 on the 6th.

Isn't she a cutie? 

Then Friday we spent the day at my other aunt's house on the river!

After we played on the boat, jetski, and all in the water we decided to play pool.

Here's J playing my uncle.  You could have sworn that it was for a championship or something!July 4, 2009 077 July 4, 2009 040

Then Saturday we headed to Loxley, AL for our family reunion.  It was great to see everyone together!  We learned a lot about our family history this year too!

Then Saturday night we watched the fireworks and fishes off the pier at the house.

Sunday we came home but not before stopping to take a picture of this great magnolia tree!
My great grandfather planted this tree in 1933 and it was the same exact height as he was 6'6".  Now, it's way more than that and it's very pretty!
