Hattiesburg

So just like in the past we went to Hattiesburg this past week. We always try to make a late summer trip. Its usually our last trip of the summer then also a chance to celebrate Maggie's birthday. Now with 2 kids involved in so many things: school, church, extracurricular stuff it seems our trips there are getting fewer and fewer. We did actually go earlier in the summer on a weekend but the boys were camping and us girls stayed at the apartment. It was a different trip. 
This time Austin wanted time at the apartment and time to do actual stuff in Hattiesburg. We were able to leave Wednesday afternoon. We ate lunch then hit the road. We arrived around 4 in Hattiesburg. We settled in the apartment then went over to his parent's house. We visited for awhile. The kids were super excited about mawmaw and pawpaw's house. We ate dinner that night at Cracker Barrel. It was nice just visiting and catching up with them. We drove around then ended back up at their house for a little while. Again the kids just had so much fun. They played outside some even. We got back late and tried to get them straight to bed. It was a tiring day for us all! 
Thursday we got up and went and had breakfast with his parents. They always enjoy cooking a big breakfast for the kids. We ate and visited for a bit then decided to ride out to USM and walk around. We often drive around there or even visit the campus bookstore across the street but it had been awhile since we had really spent much time on campus. We parked and went to the bookstore on campus. We found a couple small items there. We then walked around for about 30 minutes. It was neat reminiscing and also showing the kids where we went to school. Once we got too hot we went back to his parents house. We stayed there for a bit then met Wendi, Shelbi, and Maggie at Sweet Peppers for lunch. It was fun having lunch just us "kids". Colby and Maggie chatted away for about an hour it was so cute! We spent the afternoon over there. The kids went swimming which they loved and just enjoyed playing with their cousins. We ate an early dinner and hung out some more before all heading out. We left earlier since it had been such a long couple of days and the kids were SO tired. I was so glad they got this chance though to be with grandparents and cousins before school started back. We got to the apartment and let them play for awhile after their baths until they got WAYY too cranky. 
Friday we got up early and got packed up. We got a wild hair and decided to try a new breakfast place in downtown Hattiesburg. We were so glad we did b/c it was delicious. It was something different then our usual donuts or McDonald's. I was glad we got to do a few different things on this trip. The kids loved every minute of it! 
We came home and looked forward to the weekend ahead!
