This morning we said goodbye to my sister, brother-in-law, and 5 nephews. It was easier to do because we knew we would be seeing them in just one week! (We'll be making our annual summer trip to MI next Thursday!) We had a great time while they were here and tried to stay cool the best that we could!
They arrived on Friday, a little after lunch time, and everyone was glad to get out of the car. Here's a couple that Julie took on the way...
We tried to stay cool and ate dinner at home that night. (Very dark pics!)
On Saturday we ventured down to Atlanta for the afternoon. We planned to take the kids to the World of Coke but it was extremely crowded and didn't work out.
We did get to go to the Varsity for an early dinner and everyone enjoyed the delicious (and not so healthy!) food. Ha!
On Sunday we went to church and then just rested at home. We were going to go to a baseball game that night but decided it was too hot to go. Jay decided to get a piece of plastic that afternoon and the kids had fun using it as a slip n' slide!
On Monday we celebrated the Fourth of July by packing a lunch and going to the lake. The kids loved playing in the sand and swimming. Julie and I tolerated it - ha! (Neither of us liked that we had to "keep moving" so the fish wouldn't poke us!)
That night we had a big dinner, including delicious pulled pork that Jay smoked all day and a strawberry cake to celebrate Jason's birthday!
Like the birthday crown? LOL
Then we finished the night with pjs, snap pops, and sparklers! (No, we didn't wait until dark because we were pooped and wanted the kids to go to bed!)
On their last day here we finally took a "field trip" to the farm. They were VERY excited to see everything! Jason had to start cutting another farmer's corn that day so Grady and Max got to ride with him and had a blast!
The milk truck was there!
You guessed it...it was HOT! :)
We finished the day with some more jumping on the trampoline and a fun nature scavenger hunt. Oh, and dinner at La Cabana! We're so glad you all could come and visit - thank you! And we can't WAIT until next week when we head north!!!
Love,
