Labor Day Weekend 2013: Nanny and Paw Paw’s House!

For Labor Day this year we went to the bay to spend some time with Paw Paw and Nan.  We had a blast as usual!

We spend a lot of time relaxing on the beautiful porch and watching the water.

As usual, Nanny had lots of gifts and surprises for the boys.

All 5 of us just love to be outdoors and Nanny and Paw Paw have such beautiful property.

Of course, this is how Jackson swings on the rope.

And then I freaked out and made him put on a helmet to swing upside down. . .over concrete.

Jay with his great nephew.  I teased Jay about being a great uncle and how old that sounded.  Unfortunately, I then realized that due to us being married, I am actually a Great Aunt.  Yep, we’re both old!

Carter is 2 so he’s right between Baron and Lincoln age wise.  It’s going to be so much fun when all 4 boys are running around and playing together!

On our last day Nanny and Paw Paw’s sweet neighbors took the bigs out on the bay.  Bear got to go tubing and Jackson got a surfing lesson.

I love the pictures of Jackson learning to surf.

While we were there Nanny baked a birthday cake for Jackson.  One afternoon he asked if he could help himself to a, “small slice.”  Well, apparently his idea of small is actually huge and his idea of a logical place to cut it from was smack dab in the middle.  Funny guy. . .

Sweet Lincoln was so proud and excited to be learning to walk.

One last swim before we had to leave.

Of course, Lincoln can find dirt to get into anywhere he goes.

Goodbye loves from Paw Paw.
