GEORGIA for THANKSGIVING #2

FLAT ROCK PARK

DAY 1 in Georgia began with Adam and Chris taking off for a round of GOLF! Of course it did because if there are two things these two love to do together its 1-Golf and 2-watch BYU Football (more to come on that in the next post!). This time they invited Spencer and Ryan to join them for their round! All four had a blast!

 

While the guys were gone, Lisa and I caught up! It was so fun to have nothing to do, nowhere to go and be able to sit and visit! With 9 of our combined 11 children running around playing, laughing, crying, eating, jumping on the tramp, asking when the dad’s and boys would be home and basically having a ton of fun, Lisa and I enjoyed our time getting to know each others kids and swapping fun Mom ideas! Lisa is the BEST when it comes to being a fun, involved, creative Mom. She truly inspires me to be a better mom!

When the guys got home from Golfing the kids were ready to go out exploring. The Johnson’s have already explored their local attractions and were more than happy to show them to us! We headed about 5 minutes down the road to a park called “FLAT ROCK PARK”. It’s called that because that’s exactly what it is; a park, with flat rocks and water flowing through it. Really cool! The kids had a blast hiking around exploring and semi willingly letting Lisa and I snap away! Lisa’s camera is AWESOME (on my Christmas wish list- hint hint Adam:-) so most of the really good pictures came off her camera! Thanks for sharing with me Leese!!!

The FLAT ROCKS!

Avery was so much fun on this trip! Such and ANGEL!!!!                I LOVE this picture of Adam and the Girls!

The greatest part of this trip for me was watching all of my kids hit it off perfectly with all of their kids! Annie and Katie hadn’t played together since March of 2006 but didn’t seem to skip a beat! They got along perfectly from day 1!

Annie and I love to take self portraits! I think this one turned out pretty cute!

After FLAT ROCK, we took the kids home and the adults (plus Avery) headed out for a fun date night! We went to dinner at a YUMMY restaurant at a place called Callaway Gardens. After dinner we ended up at a Barnes and Noble and wandered around showing each other some of our favorite books. We bought a few and then headed home where the kids were playing with the fun babysitters!

Once the kids were settled watching a movie, the adults stayed up and played a fun new game Chris and Lisa have called “Ticket To Ride”! Super fun game! The kids played it the next day and kept playing it the whole week long!
