Happy Birthday, Sam!

This past Wednesday was Sam's 14th birthday. Happy birthday, Sam!

Waking up the birthday boy!

Nathan certainly is fascinated by Sam's presents. Whose birthday is it anyway?

The kids all got together and ordered Sam a Chicago Bear's jersey, but our order was canceled so we had to order another one. The second one didn't get here in time, so we gave him a picture promising that it was on the way.
We don't have pictures of all the presents, but he also got a pair of football gloves from Mama and Daddy. Nearly all of his presents were football themed!


A football cake (naturally).


Happy birthday!

Alabama Adventure

This Saturday, as part of our before school celebration, we went to a near-by amusement park, Alabama Adventure. We bought the combo tickets, which are tickets to both the amusement park and the water park. We had a wonderful time! Here are some pictures. We didn't get any pictures of the water park for the sake of the camera!
This is Jesse and I (Abby) waiting for the Scrambler to start. We rode it three times!
This was an interesting little roller coaster, it whizzed around in a rather small circle, up and down. It wasn't very big, but the fact that the circle was so small made it thrilling, especially since, when the ride stops and you think it's over, it does the loops again... backward!
Daddy (In the stripped shirt) and the twins enjoy the ride.
Jesse and Sam's first real roller coaster (they were pretty nervous).

The triumphant return! Nice hair, boys!

This is the twins and Nathan on a smaller roller coaster.

This time I rode the big roller coaster, too!

This is a cool picture taken from the top of a sort of conveyor belt. It pulls the rafts up, then releases them into a little, man-made river and you ride through white water to the bottom.

Here we are starting the log flume ride.

The end of a long day!
