Athens, GA Trip: Sept. 18-22

We realize we are a bit crazy to travel with 2 littles and 1 infant, but Grant needed to take business trip to Atlanta, GA so the kids and I decided to tag along and visit my sister and her family in Athens, GA. Considering that my sister is 4 months pregnant and we had 4 kids to take care of, the trip went great. We all had a wonderful time at their beautiful home and my kids were in love with their huge basement. We also went on a family dinner outing to a great pizza place, one afternoon we took the kids to a small local zoo and park for a picnic, we had a date night with the adults (and Colton came along too), my sister and I went to brunch together and we all made it to church on Sunday. You should be impressed.

The time flew by but it felt like we were really able to connect. Bethany had picked us all up in Atlanta and then Grant stayed to work. Grant joined us in Athens on Thursday afternoon and was able to attend Nathan's class on Friday. After a fun-filled weekend, Grant and I and the kids loaded up on Sunday after church and headed back to Atlanta. We had just about an hour and half to swing by 6 Flags over Georgia before we caught a late flight back to DFW. Cadie got hives on Sunday so we were glad to get home and by Tuesday she was recovered. It was a great trip and I can't wait to go back!

Little Colton took a snooze during his very first flight.

The cousins were so excited to see each other at the airport.

Dinner at this great little pizza place that had live music, outdoor seating and a sand pit for the kids. It really doesn't get any better than that!

Outing to the local zoo and park.

Don't eat us!!!

At brunch with my sister. LOVE YOU!

Samuel really wanted to help with his new cousin. Especially since he is about to be a big brother.

Grant, of course, did lots of projects including installing new can lighting, kitchen faucet, dimmers, etc.

Cadie was happy to assist.
