Jackonville's Downtown Turnaround Take 2

We made a trip back to Jacksonville for the second downtown turnaround for the weekend!!  It was a quick stop back in Dubuque, until we got back in the car for another weekend away.  We had a lot of fun and, of course, Braylen absolutely loves being at Nana and Papa's house with Ella, Norbert, Bigelow neighbors and Chukin playmates!  A hot weekend requires a little Nana and Papa pool time, which is exactly what we took advantage of after walking around downtown for a few hours.  Braylen got to walk in the parade with Papa, which made them both very happy, I'm sure.  According to Papa, Braylen is a natural candy thrower and ran them out of candy and, probably, energy by the end!!  Hanging by the pool is my favorite way to spend a summer weekend in Jacksonville with just a few of my favorite people :)  I absolutely cannot wait to go back and will try to brave a trip with 2 youngins by myself to enjoy a little more Jacksonville time after baby 2 is born!!
One of my favorite little girls...

and not only because she's adorably edible, but also so animated and sweet!!

His second Carousel ride in 1 week, I'm referring to Braylen, but this may also apply to Andriy?!
