tagging along with dad

Gary has a dealership in Huntsville AL and we tagged along with him to swim in the hotel pool!

Along the way we stopped to check out the Unclaimed Baggage Center in Scottsboro.  I didn't get the orange memo....the kiddos blended in with the sign!  It's hilarious.

We heard about the Unclaimed Baggage Center on the Today Show and since we were passing through we stopped to see if there were any great deals.  It was basically like a big yard sale.  Some things were great deals and others were over priced.  Honestly I just needed more time to shop, but I wasn't in a browsing mood that day, so we just skimmed around the store.  Gary found a cool watch and Hayden found a football.  We bought a few things and then headed back out on the road to Hunstville.

Layla is just looking so grown up.  She loved the hotel and its totally modern look, so she wanted to pose for a few pictures.  She's a good sport for letting me take some pictures.

Our kids love hotel stays.  They love exploring new places.

Hayden's poses lately are .... well.  I just don't know what to say.  He's a goof ball and doesn't want me taking his photo every 5 minutes.

I like hotel stays because I get to try out fun workout equipment.  I didn't get but about 20 minutes in, but hey, it's better than no workout!

The kids just lounged around and watched TV.  I would have loved to really workout, but they got bored and I get that, so we headed out to the pool for a swim.

Of course we visited dad at work and met all his coworkers.  Hayden climbs on whatever bikes or 4 wheelers he can.  He's itching to ride!!

We enjoyed trying a new restaurant when Gary got off work!  It was Mexican food and it was very delicious!

The kids and I had fun lounging around.  We dropped Gary off at work and when we stopped to get coffee Gary got them Starburst.  For breakfast.  Goodness gracious.  These two kiddos love them some candy.

We had a fun few days out with dad.  I'm glad the kids get to see where he works an what he does every day.  I think they get a better understanding of how hard he works and they get why sometimes he works so much.  We are thankful for our hard working man!!

Indian!

The kids and I went to celebrate the Grand Opening of the Atlanta Highway Indian motorcycle dealership. 

 The dealership turned out amazing. The building was totally redone, including new paint and floors.  It's so pretty and I just love the layout of the store.  I took a picture (above) of the kiddos in front of Layla's favorite bike.  She loves the willow green color.

  I enjoyed meeting some of the people Gary talks about all the time.  It's so good to put a name with a face to most of the people I hear so much about.  It was a hot Saturday, but a great way to spend the day, and what a great turnout...tons of people!

mini moto races

We love visiting dad at work.  (He's the director for a motorcycle company and he oversees the operations of 4 dealerships in the Georgia area)  We expecially love when their are fun events at work because we love to go see all the bikes in action!

I mean who wouldn't love a job in which you can wear shorts to work?!?  He's so spoiled.  He has the best job ever and I'm not even kidding. Plus, he's really good at it too!

Hayden loves to try out all the units.  He pretty much wants one of everything.  He informed us that he's almost 7 and he needs a dirt bike.  Honestly if it were up to Gary and Hayden, they would both have dirt bikes.  I'm the one that beggs them to wait.  UGGGHHH!  I've already been through a torn ACL due to Gary riding a dirt bike.  I'll have a coronary when Hayden starts riding, but I can't fight it forever. It's in these guys blood.  I'm good with just doing soccer!  ;)

Hayden is a Honda guy.  He's a fan of the red and white.  I'd love for him to get a Yamaha. I'm partial to the royal blue, and they did give us a pay check for a year or two once upon a time!

Watching the races was really fun.  The riders did a good job in the heat of the day.  They were even comical.  I loved watching them race the vintage bikes.

After the races we hung out with dad for a bit and this little lady in all her bossy-ness sat at dads desk for awhile.  She's so silly and would make a great CEO.  She looks like a natural huh?!?

After our long day of motorcycles we decided to cool off at the pool!  I'm thankful for a fun neighborhood pool for us to relax and see friends!

Happy weekend ya'll!
