GA visit..so far

Josh is changing units which means we got a two week block of leave! I love coming down to visit with our families and friends. It's especially nice to get a break from the everyday life. My parents have a wonderful fenced in backyard with a pretty cool swing set that the kids love to play on, and I don't really worry about them as much with the yard being fenced. Not to mention Granny lives right next door, and the boys love running over and seeing her. They also seem to sleep later in the morning when we are here, probably due to how much they play and staying up later so they can spend time with Papa and Gigi!  A little of what we have done so far..

We happened to be down on Josh's and my anniversary. It was so nice! My Mom took the day off so we got the whole day to celebrate! We went and ate lunch at Beef O' Brady's and then went to Tally and used a movie gift card to watch a movie. Then we came back to Thomasville and swam a little at Josh's parents and then they took us to a really nice dinner at Jonah's. It was SO delicious and nice to spend some time with his family! All around nice day!

Sunday. Dad, Mama, me and the boys went down to Shell Point and Wakulla Springs. It was pretty hot but we had a lot of fun. We spent a couple hours out on the beach and then drove over to Wakulla Springs and rode the boat. The boys loved it, especially Charlie. He loves animals, and we saw a lot. Birds, Fish, Turtles, two manatees, and several crocodiles. The first crocodile we saw, Charlie said "OK, let's go" It was pretty big and I think being that close to one startled him but after the 3rd or 4th we saw he kept asking to see more.

This coming Saturday we are planning on riding over to Dothan to Water World. Pretty good price and should be a great little water park that the boys will love. They LOVE playing in water!

All our other time has been filled with swimming at Josh's parents, hanging out at my parents, Josh hanging out with his brothers (Amos and Ryan) in Valdosta, eating good dinners with Granny, having play dates, seeing friends, spending time with extended family and relaxing! Still have a week of fun left!!
