Down to Georgia we go!












This post is driving me nutso!  I can't get the above pictures to backspace and I cant write any text without it going in crazy places so, I will start here instead:)

 For Aliyana's Spring Break we decided to head south.  Sarah and I had been thinking about Spring Break for a while.  When it dawned on us that we could all hop in the minivan, drive to her sisters in Chattanooga and then head down to Atlanta it was a GO!  The kids did amazing thanks to crafty Sarah who thought of all kinds of activities to do along the way.  I would do it all over again in a second but only if I was traveling with Sarah:)

When we were with Erin's family in Tennessee, we hit up the Chattanooga Choo-Choo and the Carousel at the park…tons of fun!


Five days with our Cousins!!

Of course our time is always filled with lots and lots of FUN!  The kids love being around one another and Mel's house is the perfect place to do that.  It was a little chilly for a good chunk of time so we found fun inside but, once it got the least bit nice, the kids headed straight to the zip line!


Uncle John's tractor ride in the backyard:)

We made the best fort!

One morning, Mel took all of the kiddos out and about while Phil and I took the twins to the doctor.  She is so unbelievably brave!  Pet store, grocery store, and the ice cream shop…you really are super mom!

One day we got to visit a place called, "Catch Air."  The kids had a blast for hours!

What??  A ball pit!!  This place ROCKS!  I loved ball pits as a kid.  Granted, I know they can be dangerous and unsanitary but for real, they are the best!  

So happy Phil and the girls could join us!  This was definitely a highlight of the trip…getting to spend such great time with Phil and the twinkies but, we sure did miss their Mama!

A dance floor too?  This place really is the best!

60 degree weather and we are headed to the park to play and have a picnic!

Crazy King!

My sweet nieces!

The last day, Sarah and her sister came down towards us and stayed in a hotel.  We all got to play together there and loved it.  
Thanks Erin and Sarah!

 Phil and Mare, Mel and John, thank you so much for hosting the crazies over our break! I know its not easy to have 4 extra people all up in your space for days and days.  But, we loved every bit of it and can't wait to come back!
  Mare, you are doing such an incredible job at juggling all that you do.  You are an excellent mommy, a wonderful wife, and a STUD of a teacher!  I admire you in so many ways and want you to know that.  The time that I got to spend with you was so precious.  You really are a trooper for staying up so late watching Downtown and then dragging your butt out of bed the next day at 5 in the morning…how do you do it all?  Oh wait, your Pinky junior:)  I love who you are!
Mel, its always a joy spending time with you!  God has richly blessed us sisters and I wouldn't trade our time spent together for anything in the world.  You too are an incredible mommy!  I respect you both in so many ways and always learn so much from being around you.   Thanks again for everything and I love you more than you know.

Chiddy and Lauren, we missed you and hope that maybe this summer we can all congregate up/down in the ATL!
