the bradberry family

Yesterday afternoon the Bradberry clan headed to Nashville! We were thrilled to make the trip to see some friends from TX who we don't see nearly enough! Let me go back, let's say, almost 28 years. Skip was the only friend at my very first birthday. To make a long story short... we've been friends ever since! I am so very glad that we have kept in touch all these years! This was a special visit because he finally got to meet Chris, and it was the first time we had met each other's kiddos! I was also thrilled to be able to spend a little more time with Skip's wife Kate! Reese and Anna Kate hit it off right away! They took over the Gaylord hotel and ran around chasing each other for most of the evening!watching the GIGANTIC fountain was another hit!

Kids are great, but unfortunately we had to wrap the evening up around 9:00 to put the tired kiddos down to bed. We met this morning for a couple pictures and hugs goodbye!

I really wish we did not live over 800 miles away. We all have so much in common!

Baby Beau is so precious.

After we said our goodbyes, we went to eat breakfast and explore the fabulous hotel!
Lily was in tow as always. Instead of Anna Kat riding in a stroller, we decided to let her push a stroller! She LOVED it! Minus almost plowing down a few people, she did great with it!

Neigh! Anna Kate loved the horses!

Looking at the the fish and flowers, and throwing pennies in the pond!

She loved all the water! Could not get enough of it!

Rainforest Cafe' for lunch. AK loved the elephants, fish and monkeys!Getting away was nice! Even it it was for only 24 hours!
