We just got back from Hattiesburg Tuesday afternoon. We try to go up there around Austin's birthday every year or sometimes his parents come here. We knew Monday would be the only chance we would get to go for awhile. Colby was so excited to be going to Hattiesburg. When we got there he was so happy to see his maw-maw and paw-paw. Soon they picked Maggie up from school and he was really happy to have his cousin to play with. They were so cute playing together! This was the first trip they really talked and interacted like little friends. They ran off to one of the rooms that has a bunch of toys in it and just sat back there and talked and played! So cute! I am so glad he has cousins that are close enough to his age to play with! Austin's dad and he brought back pizza when they picked Maggie up from school. Both Colby and Maggie definitely enjoyed that! After lunch and Colby had time to play with Maggie for awhile we layed him down for nap over there. We usually go back to the apartment but now that he's older plus since our trip was short we figured we would just let him lay down over there. He ended up sleeping about 2 hours. It worked out perfect b/c he woke up just in time when Shelbi got there after school.
It was really fun watching the 3 of them play. They begged paw-paw into setting up the pool and all 3 got in. It was still kinda chilly but none of them complained! Poor Colby had to swim in his undies though...momma forgot to pack a swimsuit or honestly didn't think we would need one this trip! He still had fun though! They all played for over an hour. We had to beg them to get out! Once they did though they were all starving for dinner. We had hamburgers and I think everyone chowed down! We knew Colby would sleep great that night b/c he played so hard with his cousins. He cried when it was time to leave and wanted Maggie to come with us.
It was so nice to get back to the apartment and relax. I always enjoy going up there and having this time. We let Colby play and unwind for about an hour then we put him to bed. Afterwards Austin and I just relaxed and watched tv.
The next morning we went back over to his parent's house. We knew we wanted to check out the USM bookstore. Colby needed a new football jersey for this year. We all ended up with something. Colby got a football jersey and some shorts. We even bought a little outfit for the new baby. It will work for either boy or girl. After shopping I wanted to walk around USM for a little while. We have driven around the campus but never gotton out and walked with Colby. I think he enjoyed all the sights. It will be so neat one day if he ends up going there. After walking around for awhile he was begging to go to the playground. He knows there is one around the Child Development area so we played there for a short time.
When we got back to his parents house we packed up to head home. It was a short but fun trip. We all had fun. Hopefully we will get back up there for a longer amount of time this summer.
