trolley adventure

tuesday we had our very first trolley aka bus adventure.....on a play date twist, jackson, kirby noah & jude ( and moms of course) took the old time trolley for a ride to the jacksonville landing.....the kids were all a tad bit nervous on the way there as they were not sure what they were in for....but soon got very excited
we walked around and then hit the water fountain.....everyone thought the water was super cool and kirby was the first wild man in, followed by noah....jackson on the other hand was happy enjoying from afar.....who knew, he is usually a water bug.......we followed up with a quick picnic and the very cool ride home.....it was a great new experience and a good change from the park!!!

Big Bang 4th

It was a happy and fun filled fourth of july at the smith house.......mommy, daddy and jackson took the boat in the river to enjoy the first really sunny day in a week!! jackson of course loved this because as most everyone knows....cooper instilled a special love for boating in littleman's heart....we then lunched at home and took a rest before the afternoon and evening fun resumed.
we enjoyed a family barbecue at kiki and waynedaddy's house...the usual 4th fun.....burgers, beer, and some fireworks to get the night rolling
we then ended the day with the annual fireworks show at the florida yacht club....jackson barely made it there to see the big lights in the sky because he is usually fast asleep hours before, but he made it and did like to see all the colors....all in all, it was a great family day
we hope everyone enjoyed their day as much as us!!! Happy 4th
