An Afternoon at the River and Gabriel's Birthday

Sunday afternoon we met my grandad, aunt, uncle and cousins for a picnic at Blythe Island, GA.  We had boat rides...

Cupcakes...

...and LOTS of sprinkles (Travis dared Ben to "drink" the sprinkles.  Thanks Trav!)

We went swimming...

 (She really DID like it...I think she just didn't like her feet sandy at this point)

...and enjoyed just hanging out!

Corey and Julie were on high baby-alert, so they couldn't come.  After the river fun , though, we all went to their house for cake and presents!  Unfortunately Emma Grace decided not to come, so alas, all of their precautions were for not.
