Mini-Vacation

We needed to do some back to school shopping but that is hard to do with a little baby and a 6 year who gets bored and the ridiculous heat that we had end of July into August. Blake and I also had a lot to get together in our classrooms since we have to split the time so someone is home watching the kids so we didn't want to have to travel very far. We decided to go to Garden and stay in a motel so we could have a cool place to go and rest and also Jaxon could swim. It was a smart move!
We did this at the end of July which is my mom's birthday so my parents and brother came up also. We were able to relax and shop and not be in a hurry. Blake and I also got to see the last Harry Potter movie. (It was so good but so sad that it's over!) Jaxon and I got to have a mommy-son date and see the Smurfs. Another good movie.
Jaxon's favorite part was the pool though. My parent's room was right by the pool so we were able to hang out and watch Jaxon. He swam for like 5 hours straight while we took turns watching him and Jemma and going shopping.

Here are some pics by the pool.
