A Visit FROM Missouri!

In mid July, we were blessed to have a visit from Kimberly's Mom and Mindy, Cody, Connor and Matthew.  It was a week full of laid back summer fun - picnics, pool, games, hikes, ice cream, etc. - we had no big plans, just enjoyed time with one another and it was absolutely lovely!  
We hiked at the Roswell Mill trail


We road bikes and scooters to the neighborhood pool
Fun times at the pool!
We played lots of yard games including ladder golf, touchdown frisbee, and croquet.



Henry and Matthew teamed up and were the yard workers all week :)

They were also good buddies in all things play
There was a movie night
And a game night

And lots of this..... of boys being boys
One rainy day the kids each built their own fort any where in the house they wanted, then we all took turns rotating to each fort and spending 20 min of reading time in each one.  The kids love it!
Nicholas' Fort of Creativity - complete with a "take a free bookmark" bin :-)

Matthew's Stanley Cup Blues fort

Samuel's The Best Lego Fort
Grace's Fort Old Fashion, complete with a library section where books are provided :-)
And Connor and Henry teamed up for the Fort of No Return - a spooky halloween fort 

Our big outing for the week was a visit to the Georgia Aquarium


















What a great week!
