478 Summer Is Gone

Well, summer break is over... same difference when you are a kid or you have kids. And I haven't posted a single picture or word about our summer.

We had a laid back summer.

I was able to take the kids to Atlanta for a couple weeks to visit friends and family. We had a great time with Grammy and everyone else. Katie and Connor also fell in love with the Chattahoochee River. We had so much fun hanging out at Jones Bridge Park, and it brought back a ton of memories from my childhood. I finally took the kids to Zoo Atlanta.... and was a bit disappointed. I forgot how limited the space is because of its location. The main goal of the trip was to visit with family and relax, so I will count it as a success!




Jones Bridge Park!



 They didn't float away once. Pretty sure that beats my record...

 We were also able to be there for the balloon release for Matty.


It was a great trip home. I can't wait to see everyone again. SOON!

Fourth of July requires sparklers... There were a few bigger and louder explosions, of course.


 We saw some cute animals at the library...
 Played with some of our very best friends...
 Introduced the kids to the Sardis Dam (and took a horrid picture)...
We goofed around with friends in Oxford taking pictures...


And they swam... A lot....


It was probably not the most exciting summer on record, but we built some new memories and had a good time. And isn't that what matters.
