Alabama

The first part of vacation was spent with Nanny and Papa (my dad's parents). I loved being "home" again. I was born here and most of my dad's family still lives near, so I saw a lot of relatives. We had so much fun!

Papa and Matthew driving Uncle Tommy's machines!

I love this picture! Matthew was absolutely speechless when

he realized he would be helping Papa drive the machines. He got to pick

which ones to drive and actually operated them! He loved it.

Matthew's first boat ride - thanks Uncle Brian and Aunt Deb!

(He looks nervous, but he LOVED the boat - the faster, the better)
