Mary, Austin and me drove down to Birmingham on Saturday morning, arriving just in time for lunch. We had to visit the amazing Iguana Grill! It is the best Mexican restaurant I've ever been to!
After lunch, we went to Samford and practiced the music with our lovely accompanist Anna Williams :-) We also recorded a fun children's song that Anna wrote called, "A Good Name". It was such a fun rehearsal!

After the rehearsal, we were surprised with a delicious made-from-scratch peach cobbler made by Anna's mother, Eloise. She was so thoughtful to do that and it was greatly enjoyed!
Before going home, we made our first trip to the famed "Steel City Pops". I'd heard rave reviews about the popsicles and they certainly met with our expectations! I had a strawberry one, Mary had a peach, Austin had orange cream and Dad had lime. Yum! I'm craving another one now!
Sunday, we went to church at Dawson. When we arrived, I saw someone who looked a lot like my Aunt Meg standing in front of the church. It turned out to be her! With Mary's help, she surprised all of us! It was so great to get to see her and spend some time together!
We ate lunch at Jim N Nicks (tradition, of course), then went back to Steel City Pops again- haha!

We had just enough to take a quick nap, finish up preparations for the worship service and change clothes before we needed to go to the church. The service went so well! Those in attendance told us how worshipful and special it was. It was so cool to hear Dad sing music that has come from his heart and lead the congregation in worship choruses.

Because Austin had work on Monday, we headed back to Jackson late that night. We loved our trip to Birmingham!
