HAYNES OUR WAY: Celebrating the 4th

This year we were invited by Lauren and Luke to spend the 4th of July in Savannah with the Dorman Family. We had an awesome time. The weather and the company were perfect. The Dorman's were very gracious to host us for 3 nights and allow our girls to run all over their house. Due to holiday traffic, rain, and a few pit stops on the way, we arrived at their house pretty late Friday evening. The girls didn't get to bed until 11:30 that night. It was the first of three late nights and napless days for them. They were champs though. It definitely helped to have several people around to entertain them. Curly and The Bear fell in love with Luke's little sister, Abigail. They have been pretending to be her around the house since we got home. Both Saturday and Sunday we took the Dorman's boat out to Wassaw Island and enjoyed the beautiful beach. The girls loved riding on the boat, playing in the tidal pool, finding sea shells, and playing in the water.

Now that we are home, we are trying to catch up on sleep, wash a ton of laundry and gear up for our trip to Minnesota this Sunday. It will be The Bear's first plane trip. I'm a little nervous about it but thankfully my parents will be along for the ride to help.
