Happy Mother's Day (we know it's a little early)

Today we celebrated Mother's Day because my Momma will be out of town on the real day.
It was a beautiful day to be outside so the idea popped into my head to go to Acworth Beach and have a picnic. Off we went, Momma(Gigi), Aunt Liz, Samuel, and I. They came and picked Samuel and I up around 3pm and we went to Publix to get sub sandwiches and lots of fruit.

Samuel greatly enjoyed the fruit! He kept on putting his little hands in the bowl and pulling out a huge piece that he would then try to fit in his tiny mouth! It was fun to watch. Gigi can up with a wonderful idea of making his own bowl with the lid. Samuel thought this was a great idea! And I agree because he thought he was getting it for himself but I was really controlling the size of the pieces.

Once we were all stuffed we went to sit under the gazebo. We needed shade! Though it was in the 70s the sun was shining down and making us a little too warm. :) Plus Samuel was getting a little red and we were not sure if it was from the heat or sun burn. (Turns out he was just too hot) Samuel thought the gazebo was great fun because he got to get down and crawl around! He also thought it would be fun to ram his head into the ground but he soon found that not to be true! The ground was concrete! OUCH! This was very upsetting to him and left him with a little mark on the forehead.

Have no fear it didn't take long to distract him from the pain by letting him look out the bars. Aunt Liz and I went down and took pictures of his cute little face looking out the bars. In this picture Samuel is showing Gigi something very interesting but all Gigi wants is a hug!

Samuel didn't like the water much but he did enjoy the giant sand box! This sand box had sticks and rocks and all kinds of yucky things that he thought were great for putting in the mouth! Too bad Mom had to ruin all the fun by taking them away!
It was a wonderfully fun day! The best way to spend it if you ask me!
