We had a great weekend! We had a Rollins Family reunion just outside of Savannah, GA on Saturday. We had so much fun spending the day with all of Dusty's family (Except Megan who had to work... we missed you!). Everytime I looked up, Anson had disappeared with one of his uncles. Thanks for playing with him, guys! He always has so much fun with you! And he got plenty of loving (and treats!) from his aunties, too! Ella got plenty of attention, too, and had a nice nap with Toto (Dusty's mom) in the chair! All the men played a game of soccer and the ladies cheered them on until it got too hot. And Anson had fun playing in a big bucket of ice! It doesn't take much to entertain him!
It was also our 11th Anniversary on Saturday! We can't believe that it has been 11 years already! And you'll be glad to know that we both said we would do it all over again! What a blessing to be married to your best friend!
And then on Sunday, our little family toured around Savannah. What a beautiful little city! We had fun walking down by the river and going to Forsyth Park. We ate at a cute little restaurant there and then headed home. Both kiddos were tired out and slept half the way home! It was a nice trip and both Dusty and I were encouraged about how the kids did on this trip. They have not been the best travelers in the past but they did great! Anson had so much fun meeting new people and seeing new things. He is in that stage of wonderment and everything is fascinating. We'll do our best to keep him that way!

That looks like it was a blast! How did Dusty's parents get those nick names? Too cute.
