Friday, 7.1.16 - Hiking Sope Creek with these two!
[Ryan and Abby had hide n seek day camp all week]
This was a wonderful day!! We had so much fun hiking, picnicking, playing in the creek, etc
Chloe and Maya really are the bestest of friends, she adores this dog!
a direct Chloe quote : "I am having some good walking"
three adventurous creek explorers
I LOVE this photo! It's still hanging on the fridge three plus years later!
I had hurt my toe on the 2nd, and it was black and blue and hurt really, really bad. Considering how much pain I was in thanks to that pesky little toe, finishing was my only goal! Not a bad time all things considered [it's a 10k - 6.2miles]. Bucket List check!!
Thank you to Coleson and the kiddos for supporting me! We spent the night of July 3rd in a hotel, enjoyed a yummy dinner, and then I was able to get up bright and early to hop on a Marta bus to the start line. Loved seeing my family along the course and meeting up at the end.
Tuesday, 7.5.16- overnight roadtrip to Chattanooga with Alyson, Seth, and Dylan!
Tuesday we swam in the hotel's indoor pool and walked across the street for dinner at Mellow Mushroom, yummy!
Fun story - I had a bracelet coupon for a free cheese pizza that I had been given at the Peachtree
The manager not only took my coupon, but seemed really excited about it.
They were curious about how far outside of Atlanta the coupons would make it,
and I was the first one in his region to bring one in.
Wednesday at Rock City! awesome bird show complete with an eagle and owl :)
two best friends relaxing together at home
we've had a very, very busy summer! but lots of fun!
Chick-fil-a Cow Day 2016!

Friday, 7.22.16 - the Varsity!! on the way to drop Ryan off at the airport
now that Grandma's in Tampa, she has a lot of layovers in the ATL,
so she picked up Ryan and he's off for a weekend of fun!
Ryan visiting Aunt Lolly and Emily-to-be
He also go to spend a night in a hotel in Orlando with Grandma and Grandpa!
swimming pools, lazy river, water slides, dinner at the Rainforest Café, putt putt
I wanted to include this picture, because the caption/ Chloe's quote was just too cute!
"you is a good monkey! good monkey, good monkey!"
Chloe about Abby :)
Ryan's still in Florida, and Coleson had been out of town.
When Daddy got home, he surprised the girls and I by showing up at church!
and then took us to out to lunch at Moe's and on a hike, fun fun!
sometimes I wonder what goes through her little brain :)
she carried this log for a long time, love it, girl power!
Monday, 7.25.16 - a wonderful playdate with two of Abby's best buds : Brendan and Jackson
I really loved watching all six kids playing together, they had so much fun!!
Another picture that I had to include for the caption/ Chloe quote :)
"I going to take hundreds photos of myself cuz I love myself" -Chloe, just shy of her 4th birthday.
Maxim and Nana are here to drop Maxim off for cousin camp! -- All I can really say about this picture is that I'm sure one day they'll regret posing for it!
Camp Aunt Amy had five kids! Grandpa [who had driven Ryan home after his flight down with Grandma] left Henry with us while he made an unplanned trip to Pennsylvania for Aunt Kathryn's funeral.
It was a bit of wild week at cousin camp, I felt a little guilty that we didn't do anything unique and special, but honestly I think the kids were just as happy playing with their cousins!
the five kiddos kept me busy, but I love it and I love them :)
