After spending three glorious days at the beach, we enjoyed spending a few more days in Alabama...with less rain so we could enjoy our outdoor activities! On Thursday we visited Aunt Sharon at UAB. Lil' D got to meet a few of her co-workers. She put him to work measuring distances. Then we had a lovely lunch at a cafe run by the culinary school.
Afterwards, we went to Ruffner Mountain Nature Preserve to get in a little Alabama hiking.
And no trip to Alabama is complete without plenty of golf cart driving/riding.
Lil' D's favorite part of the trip, however, was finally getting to drive the tractor!
Nicholas even learned how to drive the tractor. Aunt Sharon showed him how to mow.
While Mommy and Lil' D drove the golf cart around.
On Friday, Nicholas had some alone time to draw and think. Lil' D and I helped Aunt Judy run some errands. Here Lil' D is loading up the recycling in the back of the car.
Then we stopped at the playground by the recycling drop off.
There was a little creek, so the shoes came off to walk through the water. Unfortunately, the rocks/concrete were too slippery, and they fell down. So our errand running/adventures ended there.
Aunt Sharon was able to leave work early on Friday, so there was plenty of time for adventures at the Dome Home.
Driving around the family land
Exploring the new trails on the Back 40. Lil' D did not end up with a nap on Friday, so he fell asleep on the way to dinner!
Enjoying Alabama BBQ.
RIBS!
Saturday morning we left Alabama for Hattiesburg, MS. Lil' D enjoyed one last golf cart adventure with the Alabama Aunts. Then we said our goodbyes.
