Jack Meet Water. Water Meet Jack.

Sunday morning Miguel and I took the dogs to Fort Pulaski. Jack had never been swimming before and we were really excited to show him the water! He was a little hesitant at first, but that quickly faded. He L.O.V.E.D the water! Taking the dogs to the "beach" (Tybee doesn't allow dogs) is so much fun! I adore watching Emma and Jack run around, so happy and free. They love playing with each other. It's so cute to watch their interaction with one another. They always need to know what the other is doing and always want to go too where ever the other is headed. Jack and Emma ran up and down the beach and would then spring full speed into the water. They wrestled and played the entire time, even though it was miserably hot... but I guess the water helped cool them down. I'm looking forward to bringing them again. It's just too bad we live about an extra 15 minutes away from the Fort now. Trips to the water will most likely be a weekend thing from now on. But the drive is well worth it. The dogs had so much fun and they are both sleeping like logs. We took loads of pictures. Here are a few below. =)

A little blurry, but awesome that Jack's feet aren't touching the ground!

It's so much fun to run with Dad

Birds of a Feather...

This Sunday morning Miguel and I woke up ready to get some things done today. We were going to take the dogs to the Fort so that Jack could see and play in the water for the first time and we planned on doing chores and yard work. Before we got the day started Miguel decided to go for a run at a local trail/park. About 45 minutes after he left I got a phone call. Miguel's car wouldn't start. So the dogs and I jumped in the car and were to the rescue. While Miguel was making his battery start and fiddling under the hood of the car I grabbed the camera and snapped some shots of the birds enjoying the lake.

NKOTBSB - Hell Yeah!

"HOWIEEEEEEEEE! HOWIE! HOWIE! HOWIEEEEEEEEEEEE!" - Sarah Wilder, 23.

12 years ago my best friend and I went to the Backstreet Boys concert when they played at the Georgia Dome! Well, Wednesday night we got to recreate the experience. Sarah's uncle hooked us up with some AWESOME club seats. We got to park under the Philips Arena and walk in this door that said "Authorized Personnel Only". Once in the door, we got to walk down a private staircase and then got escorted to our seats. We totally felt like ballas. Our seats were in the first couple of rows behind the floor seats. I actually really loved those seats because, unlike the floor seats, we didn't have to look up and the guys were eye level. It was like sitting at the 50 yard line. 

The Staircase down to our seats.

Jordan Sparks opened for the boys. Sarah and I were really impressed with her. She looked totally beautiful and we really enjoyed her performance! We had heard Matthew Morrison was going to open too, but he never came out. Pout. 

Okay, I can honestly say that I can't describe how amazing this concert was. I don't think I have the words. I know we sound incredibly dorky, but I so don't care. It was so much fun to scream like we were 13 again. We sang to all the Backstreet Boys songs. They sang all the songs we really wanted them to sing! We were surprised how much we enjoyed the NKOTB though too. They put on a really good show! It was funny because you could completely tell which audience members where there for which band. Everyone acted giddy, though, despite the average ten year age difference between the fans.

At one point they turned on the overhead lights and we got a glimpse at how full the arena was!

All the guys still have "it"! They sang the whole thing 100% live and danced around as if they were all young men again. Whoever thought to put both bands together is totally genius. The concert was really long because the guys could take breaks. Both Sarah and I keep saying we wish we could go back right now!

Nick!

Hello, Donnie! ;)

My only regret is not bringing my good camera. Next time! =) I am soooo thankful I was able to go, and especially grateful that I was able to go with my best friend!
