Georgia on My Mind

We're back from our visit to Georgia. For being there only a week, we sure had a lot of fun. We were able to spend time with both sides of the family and see dear friends. It was a fantastic trip...see for yourself...

We enjoyed time on the lake, icees, Charlie Joseph's and best of all, fun hanging with all the family at Nana and Pa's (we sure did miss James and his folks though)...

Nate's not much on speed in the tube. We were already going as slow as the boat can and as you can tell, he's signaling Pa to slow down. :)

MariCagle, on the other hand, got more daring.

We made a side trip to see Quinn, Payton, Uncle Britton and Aunt Kim where the kids' imaginations ran wild. The girls enjoyed playing fairies (this is the part where Nate especially missed Hudson)...

and we visited a very cool children's museum where they had a kid-sized 'neighborhood' set up with grocery store, restaurant, bank, post office, doctor's office, dentist, you name it, they had it. It was very cool as is Aunt Kim for taking us!

Nate really enjoyed the ATM, and the fact that it gave you play money didn't keep him from going back again and again.

I think MariCagle enjoyed the beauty shop the best. She enjoyed being the customer as well as the beautician.

At Grammy and PopPop's we got to see most of the Tyre clan and had a fun spend-the-night play date with Aunt Marguerite's great granddaughter, Mychael. They also enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub and an early birthday celebration for MC.

So as you can see, our week was as packed with fun and family as this post is with pictures! Thanks everyone for hanging out with us and making our trip very special. We had such a great time!! And we want to be sure and send our prayers and well wishes to Uncle Newman as he's enjoying his last days of R&R before heading back to Iraq! We are so glad we got to spend time with you and we'll be looking forward to your more permanent return! Hugs and kisses to everyone.
