The girls went down to Georgia

Emily, the girls, and I went down to Conyers, Ga to visit my parents (Nana & Papa) and also to say farewell to the home we spent the second half of our life in.  My parents plan to move to Nashville this summer (or as soon as their house sells!) which is very exciting  :-)  We moved to Conyers in May of 1994 and there are lots of special people there that we will really miss.  Anyway, so we made it a girls trip and left on a Thursday and came back on Sunday.  We mostly spent quality time with Nana and Papa - enjoying the nice weather and playing outside, going for walks, eating good food, shopping, and visiting the Georgia Aquarium.  We also made a stop at Shoal Creek Elementary, where my mom is a teacher assistant (and retiring at the end of May!)  A big shout out to Mr. Craft and Shauna Miller and all the other "sharks" who visit our blog!!!  Sunday we went to church at Rockdale Community, where there are also a lot of very special people - so glad I could give you hugs and introduce many of you to Natalie and Kennedy!!!  Well, onto the pictures  :-)



Peek-a-boo Papa!

All we really had to play with was one beach ball and some bubbles



Then we decided that rides in the wheelbarrow would be a good idea

The girls weren't too sure about it at first



Checking out the bubble wrap we put in the bottom of the wheelbarrow


Yes... Natalie still sucks her thumb  :)

What kid doesn't like bubble wrap?  POP!




This was probably our favorite part of the aquarium - the pool where the sting rays were swimming

It was so cool to feel the sting rays and see them swim so close!

Giddee-up sea horse!


Oooh, a mermaid!!!



Natalie's famous "serious face"



Papa and his girls

Playing piano with Papa

Trying for a good family shot... think they turned out good  :)


I love these four!!!
