The Weekend What

The kiddos and I kicked our weekend off at our favorite Friday night hangout - Addi's SLP's office.  She is continuing to make great progress.  When we wrapped things up there, the kids and I made a trip to the mall.  We had an order to pick up and we also ended up doing a little shopping for Evan.  He really needed a few new shirts. He's grown so much this school year!  I wouldn't be surprised if he's taller than me before he starts the 8th grade.  After the mall, we had McAlister's for dinner.

We got home right when Jason got off of work.  The little ladies went to bed and the rest of us stayed up and watched Netflix together.  Saturday, we spent the day doing this. And why yes, Addi is wearing the same clothes as she did the night before.  And no, I don't know why.  

When Jason got off of work Saturday evening, he started working on our dishwasher.  It was starting to sound like a helicopter and leaking water like crazy.  I was beginning to think it was time for a replacement, but after watching several Youtube videos, Jason got it working like new again.  Unfortunately, it took him until the early hours of the morning.  So, we were church skippers, because Jason really needed to rest up. That afternoon, we went on a picnic and a hike with Nana and Papa.  We had so much fun!  Payton carried our pack this time.  Here she is with Nana.

Our little family plus Papa on the bridge.

 It had rained earlier in the week, so we spotted a lot of animal tracks.  This print belongs to a deer.

 Here's our little family about half way through the hike.  There are a lot of benches along the way.  Five out of six of us are looking.  We'll count it a success.

And here's the very cute Nana and Papa.

After taking a few pics, we hiked down to the creek.  We got closer to the water's edge this time.  Papa pointed out some big turtles that were sunning on a log.

 We hiked around another ridge on the creek and saw a lot more animal tracks.  Then, we saw three Whitetail does!  That got our group pretty excited.  Before we finished up our hike, we saw a baby snake.  Jason and Papa assured us all that it was just a baby grass snake.  In all, we hiked a little over a mile and a half.  We enjoyed it so much that Papa declared it our family sport. =)  We already can't wait to get out and have more family come along with us.

I hope your weekend was great too!
