Trip to Birmingham Alabama

 Just getting off the plane.  We came to visit our family in Birmingham Alabama.  I love that we can visit family and see places we would not normally see.  My job gives us many opportunities for adventure and family time.  Brant and Asher asleep with Hannah, Derek and Eli in the back.
 We left right as soon as school got out to try to avoid the heat of the summer in Alabama.  After this trip, I don't think there is ever a time that you can escape the heat in Alabama.
 At the Farmers Market.
 Having fun in the back yard at Aunt Kelly and Uncle Eric's house
 Trying to stay cool.  We had to put sun screen on AND bug repellent, uggg!  There were SO many bugs there!
 We almost melted

 Little buddies
 Cute Hannah with Brant
 Having fun with Uncle Eric and Asher with my wonderful Hannah
 at a park
 In the VERY hot butterfly room
 Hannah and Brant on their camel.  We have ridden a camel on both ends of the United States.  In Washington state and now in Alabama!

 More time at the zoo.  I will have to someday try to figure out how many zoos we have gone to. . .

 Wow, close, so lucky
 Ahhhhh, so close again!

 Hey sweetie, love to see you with such beautiful creatures

 Derek LOVES birds.  I loved how colorful they were



Hey silly kids, love ya!
 I LOVE this picture!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Brant and Derek
 These guys loved to wrestle
 Hannah and cute little Asher
 More time trying not to melt



 Outside Uncle Eric and Aunt Kelly's house


 We were able to see fire flies here.  I loved the opportunities to see amazing things together.  I think all kids should be able to see fire flies while they are young.
Remember the love for wrestling?

Last day of school

 On our way to the bus for the last day of grade school together.

 Waiting for the bus. Wonderful silly kids
 The last time getting on the bus together!
Hannah's last day of being in grade school, wow, she is growing up.  I sure do love her.  I am excited to get to know her as a young lady!
