GiGi and the Unclaimed Baggage

GiGi came to visit us for a few days this week, and we had SO MUCH FUN! One of the things she’s wanted to do for a while was to head to a place in Huntsville (actually outside of Huntsville) called the Unclaimed Baggage Center. So, we woke Addie up early one morning and headed out.

It wasn’t as big as I had expected, but there was LOTS of stuff to look through. However, Addie wasn’t much in the mood to just sit in her stroller and “look” so we didn’t spend nearly as much time as we most likely would have if we didn’t have her with us.

Addie found a kid’s broom still in the packaging that she decided she needed, and GiGi was happy to pay the $2 for it. However, GiGi was BEYOND thrilled with her find of the day.

Yes, folks, that is a beach umbrella. But not just ANY beach umbrella. It is made of Green Velvet, Gold Lamaze, and Gold Tassles. But, the crowing jewel on this is the religious are all around the edges. Jesus. The virgin Mary. Etc. It was QUITE the sight to behold.

And she paid a whopping $5 for it. I’m sure she’ll be putting it to good use. (But hopefully I won’t be any where around when she pulls it out in public! Ha)

After leaving the UBC, we had a good lunch, then we headed over to visit the Jewell’s. Addie was VERY excited to hear we were going to see Elias and Baby Sawyer!

Addie and Elias playing in the backyard, I should have known as soon as they saw the pool, they would need to get IN the pool…

And, then they were in the pool. Of course.

I love that these next two pictures show what we’re constantly dealing with in a 2 year old. Addie’s little attitude can change in an instant. I’m pretty sure there was about 2 seconds between these two pictures.

We ended our trip shortly after that picture. Ha. However, we did have LOTS of fun, and that’s what matters.
