Benson Turns 4

We joined Lizzie and the Carters in Mobile Alabama for a few days to celebrate Benson turning 4. His birthday is in a few days, but we celebrated early since Lizzie would be here given her Spring Break.

On our first day Mitzi and I arrived we were getting our Range Rover serviced at the dealer in Mobile. When who should surprise us? Benson, Sydney, and Lizzie!

We enjoyed visiting then headed over to Sydney's house for the afternoon.

Benson was so excited to show us the fish in his pond and give us a tour of the back yard.

We played soccer too!

Sydney is making these March Madness kits for the dental offices who gives referrals to Logan's ortho practice. She's super creative and the staff at the dental offices are going to enjoying them.

Benson loved the water park. He's gotten so comfortable in the water lately, really great to see.

We stayed at The Grand Hotel in Fairhope on the bay. It's the best resort around and we enjoyed staying here. Lizzie and the Carters stayed here too and we had a really nice time.

It's such a beautiful place.

At one point right after dinner something really funny came up. Everyone was laughing so hard. It might have been a little naughty so I probably won't be repeating it here, but it was hilarious.

After dinner we went out on the pier for some fishing.

This heron landed 10 feet away. They are such beautiful birds. I'm surprised these pictures came out when it was so dark and I don't use a flash.

We had breakfast at The Grand the next morning.

In the evening we celebrated Benson's birthday with pizza and cake.

Benson has been playing tee-ball lately. Logan's been working with him on swinging and the way he was going at the piñata you can really see, he's got it!

Sydney has befriended her neighbor Jan. They take walks together each morning. Jan became widowed last year when her husband died from a 6 year bout with cancer. She's having a rough time (we all do!) and Sydney's friendship has meant a lot to her. She came to the party and we enjoyed getting to know her.

We've loved celebrating Benson. He's a charming child and growing and developing so quickly. He's such a fun person and we love being his grandparents.
