4th of July in Georgia

We spent the 4th with most of my family in GA and had a GREAT time. We got brave (and too cheap to pay for a week of parking at the airport) and took the train and bus to and from the airport. Pretty intense, but not half as bad as I expected. And it only cost $8 total. Can't beat that. The kids did g

reat the whole way there. I think they enjoyed not being trapped in carseats.

The collage hits a lot of highlights such as: Kaylyn's 6th birthday, fhe with the extended family, pool time, ping-pong and tether ball, firecrackers, and Nate's first experience with bald (boiled) peanuts. We spent a day at Lake Hartwell and rented a couple jet skis. It was so fun! Nate and I took Addison out once. He was a little freaked out, but did okay. Jenna and Nate and I were out on the lake, and I was a skilled enough driver that I dumped everyone off the jet ski, including myself. Addison and Bryn really had fun on the whole trip.

They both turned into little fish - especially Addison. He learned to swim in the pool all by himself with arm floaties. Not bad for 2 and a half. He had a great time at the lake too. I think he'd still be splashing in the water if we hadn't forced him out. (He crashed on the picnic blanket soon after).

Couldn't miss a chance to get a picture of 4 generations on my mom's side.
