We left Atlanta around 10:00 eastern time (9:00 central) for Birmingham. The plan was to meet up with some of Blake's high school friends, Craig and Kristi Brooks and their twin little boys and then go see Pop for a quick visit before getting on the road towards Gulf Shores.
J Bug got some Color Wonder makers and a Cars book that kept him busy for over an hour straight! It was awesome!
Maddox chillin' at the park... it was HOT!
The Brooks Family.... Craig and Kristi with Jarrett, Jackson, and Baby Jonah who will be here tomorrow!!
Craig with his boys... Craig was in our wedding 12 years ago... crazy how time flies and how OLD we're all getting... uuuuuugh!
Five Hickman boys and two (about to be three!) Brooks boys
L to R.... Asher, Maddox, Nate, Caleb, Judah, Jarrett, and Jackson
Glad we have lots of close friends that are raising armies of boys with us!!
Nate was wiped out!
So fun to catch up with sweet friends... I hadn't seen them in 8 years!
Big hugs from Pop
We met up at the Galleria mall in Birmingham with Pop that afternoon and hung out for awhile. The boys had a little snack and rode the carousel in the middle of the mall. Pop and Daddy even got on it with them :)
Nate was excited....
Group shot... not great, but it was the best we could do
Roll Tide store... we got lots of new goodies :)
Last shot with Pop before we hit the road... Nate was choked up about it. Actually it was the 2nd day without an afternoon nap and he was feeling it. As were we..... uuuuuugh!
Crazy eyes Ash.... waiting for our dinner to come later that night at Cracker Barrel in Montgomery.
Cheesin' for the camera
The boys outside of Cracker Barrel... dinner= success!
And lest y'all all think B and I enjoyed a lovely night in a plush king sized bed..... this was the room we set the pack n play up in for Maddox to enjoy....
This pull out couch was Blake and I's bed for the night..... such is life with five... sigh :)
And here was where the other four slept...
Six pairs of shoes ready for the BEACH! Gulf Shores here we come!
