Birmingham 2016

Mark had a work trip in Birmingham last week, and we decided to tag along.  We had a FUN, but exhausting time.  I mean, you haven't lived until you have stayed in a hotel room with 3 children under 4 years old.  The kids LOVED the McWane Center, so much so that we bought an annual membership.  There was SOOOO much to do there! 

The second day, we went to the zoo.  I'm not even going to lie, the kids hated it.  They were hot, tired, and miserable.  Have you heard the phrase, "Drag them out kicking and screaming."  Well, that's what I had to do.  They wanted to eat a $15 hotdog, but not look at any of the animals, and I refused.  I had to literally drag Haisley and Benton out of the zoo, and they were LITERALLY kicking and screaming.  NIGHTMARE.  We will not be returning to the zoo until all children can walk, use the restroom, and are more self sufficient.  Don't let these pictures fool you, they only smiled for the pictures, they weren't happy. 

Other than the little zoo debacle, we had so much fun spending the week with Daddy, and it was fun to get away!
