Ya'll should see a few pictures of our trip....

We left for Mobile, Alabama on Thursday morning...here are a few pictures from our first couple of days there.  (More posts to follow)

1- Thursday evening, Amy's family was kind enough to have a little birthday party for Maggie. She loved it.  We had some great southern bbq for dinner, complete with birthday cake for Maggie, banana pudding for Arnie and great company for all!

2- We put a few decorations up in our hotel room after Maggie went to sleep on Thursday, she was SO excited to see them when she woke up.  Aunt Laura called right after she woke up and she told her "when I went to bed I was 2, and when I woke up I was 3!!" She also LOVED her roll-away bed, she thought it was so cool that it had wheels.

3- Maggie, Uncle Evan and Aunt Amy....they are both so good to her and she loved being a part of their big weekend.  She definitely felt very special to be included!

4- A few bday presents made the trip.

5- Talking to Grandma and Grandpa.

6- We took a walk on Friday morning, to see a little bit of downtown mobile.  Maggie's favorite thing about Mobile was that all of the public trashcans downtown were purple.  She kept saying "there is another PURPLE trash!!!"  I should have taken a picture.

7- Friday night we went to a beautiful home to have our first of several wedding parties.  I don't have any pictures that do this house justice, but someday I'll be building it...so you'll all get to see it.  It was amazing!

8- Headed out for a little birthday swim.  Our hotel had a beautiful pool and Maggie loved it.

9- A crazy family game of swimming pool duck, duck, GOOSE!  Uncle Evan, Daddy, Aunt Gwenn and Sarah were great sports!

10- How many Robinson's does it take to put on a pair of goggles :)

11- Opening a few presents at the Redisch's on Thursday night....it was so sweet of them to think of her.

12- A little quiet time painting in the hotel on Friday.  We tried to do it outside, but it was pretty windy...Maggie said "Mom, we need to go inside the wind isn't being very polite."

13- Aunt Amy help cut some birthday cake.  Maggie liked the pink flowers on top the best.  A couple of Amy's wonderful bridesmaids were there with us too, the girls were so sweet to Maggie all weekend and she loved being "one of the girls".

14- Maggie and her cousin Gabe.  She loves playing with "little" kids and Gabe (and his mommies) were so patient with her. He was a tough guy, he didn't seem to mind being jerked around at all :)

15- One of the things Maggie got for her birthday was an umbrella, it didn't rain while we were in Mobile. But somehow Maggie convinced both Aunt Diane and Almost Grandma Kris to take the umbrella in the shower....she didn't go with them, she stayed outside the shower and just watched....guess who's clothes ended up wet??? (hint: not Maggie's)

16- A little more pool time.  Maggie liked the big pool, but the grown-ups seemed to prefer the baby pool.

17- Maggie is 3....where has the time gone???
