These pictures are at the Easter egg hunt that our church sponsors. We were FREEZING and tired. They had mistakenly printed that it started at 9:00, so we rushed everyone to get there. We ended up driving around Louisville for an hour looking at the flooding we had just had.
Next was the Easter parade where we were double freezing from the walk up to the parade, plus sitting in the freezing cold! It's basically a lot of antique cars, local politicians, local churches, and clubs like dancers, martial arts, Shriners, etc. Good times!
Easter Sunday was a wonderful day spent worshipping our Lord and visiting with our friends. We ended the day with a great ham dinner spent with our neighbors. The kids had an in-home Easter egg hunt which is always fun, and on Monday we dyed Easter eggs.
Tuesday was our 8th anniversary. Logan had taken the entire week off to relax and have a vacation. 2 dozens roses arrived for me and they were beautiful. That night our friends watched the kids and we were able to go the dinner theater together. We had a wonderful night with great food and wonderful entertainment. The play was a comedy and about some couples trying to find missing romance from a karoake machine. Very funny. 
My sister came into town on Wednesday night, and 6 am Thursday found Becky, Asa and I on the long road to Pensacola, Florida. This was such a great chance for Becky and I to spend some good time together as adults. I don't think I've laughed that hard in a long time. To sum up the trip, we cleaned, visited our grandmother, cleaned, visited our brother, cleaned, ate seafood (YUM), cleaned, went to the beach, and left. We were exhausted when we got home.
The Alabama welcome center has a giant rocket, so we had to stop. They gave us free poster and we took lots of pictures.
Joe Patti's Seafood is a really fun place that I remember from being a kid. Asa got to see pelicans, fishing boats, fresh fish, a giant yellowfin tuna being filleted and giant shrimp. It's a great place when you're little. 
Asa went fishing for the first time with Uncle David. He called me ecstatic that he had caught a fish. I asked him how big it was and he said, "It's as big as a shrimp!!" He had to throw it back because it was so small, but he went on to catch 2 more slightly larger. He brought them home and proceeded to kiss them (which was a charming thing that my brother taught him) simply to gross me out. It worked! He wanted to bring them both home to show Logan, but there were some hungry stray cats at my grandmother's house, so he generously shared his fish with them.
We made a stop at the fountain in memory to my grandfather. We were able to be in Pensacola on the 5th anniversary of his death. We put flowers on his grave, and had great memories of him.
My brother and sister at the beach on the chilly overcast day we decided to go. We still had fun spending time together, though. Asa definitely loved playing in the waves . . . I think he was numb from the 60 degree water. He was shivering and almost blue by the time we got back to the car. He loved collecting seashells most of all!
I can't believe that all this happened in one week time. It has taken me a good 3-4 days to recover!!
