Trip to Auburn

Last week the girls and I went to visit friends in Auburn. We left Wednesday and came home Friday. It was a very good break while Dave was gone. We stayed with my friends Leann and her family. Leann was my bible study leader while I was in college. Leann, her husband Lemar, and all four of their children were in our wedding. They have Brad 16, Lauren 14, and Andrew and Anna Claire 12 year old twins. The girls had so much fun with their kids .Emery Claire was stuck to Lauren and Ella thought Brad was so funny. The twins were good helpers with them also. Thursday we had lunch with my friend Elizabeth and her 4 year old son Charlie. Our good friend Mandy and her two little girls drove over for the day from Abbeville. The kids loved playing together and we loved catching up. I felt like we were back in college. We enjoyed one of our all time favorite meals of turkey wraps and sweet potato chips from Amsterdam cafe. Of course we had to get the kids Burger King. Thursday night Leann and Lemar invited some more friends over for a cookout and egg hunt. Mrs. Patti the children's director at Lakeview and her husband came. I served as Mrs. Patti's summer intern while I was in college. She is such a sweet lady and does a great job at what she does. My friend Anna and her family came also. Anna and I were both special ed majors and had all of our classes together. Anna is also Mrs. Patti's daughter. We had so much fun catching up. We left Friday and headed home. Our trip ended with an hour stop in the Cracker Barrel in Cullman due to tornadoes. It was very exciting, especially since Emery Claire is terrified of storms. I did not take as many pictures as I would like. My computer is messing up so I will post pics when I can.
