Bilobi, Birdwatchin', Balloon, and BBQ

Oh What a busy weekend! We have about covered every aspect of life that you can imagine!!!


Friday was a day to take it easy. Amelia just hung out and played in her giant “bowl” that her aunt Mollie got her for her Birthday. It’s a Bilobi…its European? Seriously, it’s a giant plastic toy that lets her use her imagination. She can sit in it, spin it, climb on top of it….the list goes on and on. And since she LOVES her Tupperware and bowls, her Aunt Mollie felt it best to purchase this little sucker for her birthday back in June.





On Saturday, we started the day our early with Bird Watching and Breakfast. Now, my Dad, bless his heart, loves his Purple Martin’s. He is a member of the Purple Martin Society and has built a nice little habitat for the Purple Martin’s in the back yard. It apparently was such a nice habitat that all the Martin’s from in town left and now live at Dad’s. So since Dad “stole” all the Martin’s from town, Mom and Dad will have the ex-Martin owner’s up for supper every once in a while to watch the bird’s. However, this time of year, they have been flying around breakfast so we cooked a nice breakfast and watched on the patio





We were not finished with Saturday. That evening we loaded up and headed north to Canton for the Balloon Glow and Fireworks. It was beautiful. The weather was perfect and we had the best seats in the house. Amelia got to hang with Cooper and just roam her little area.




She loved the fireworks and was such a trooper. She hung in until 9:30!!!



Sunday was the Annual Bolton Fourth of July Parade. We shined up the golf cart and carried it down to Ms. Bettye’s house by lunch and began decorating. Granny D and Jennice came all the way from Bay Springs for the parade. Cooper and his Mom came, as well as Mary Beth



After a wonderful lunch (see below)



We lined up for the Parade…….



After such a busy weekend, Amelia went and finished out her 4th with Granny D and Poppa Marvin. The rest of the crew cooled off at the pool and enjoyed ribs, baked beans and good company.

I have TONS more pictures so if you would like to see those just click HERE

Happy Fourth of July!!!
