M&O Visit Rock City

Took a little trip to Rock City in Lookout Mountain, TN. I visited once as a kid & I gotta say, not much has changed. Still a fun little visit for kids & a beautiful view where you can see 7 states from one spot atop the mountain.

M&O Visit the Atlanta Botanical Gardens of Gainesville

I realize that's a strange name. Why not "The Gainesville Botanical Gardens"? 

But anyway, they are great. Besides, beautiful gardens and super kid-friendly, there was this cool exhibit...

Anna Visits Atlanta!

One of my very best friends, Anna Bryant, visited ATL from Oregon on her way to Statesboro, so we met for some coffee, crepes, froyo & girl talk! Great day catching up!

Summer Silliness & Stuff

Summer break consisted of silliness, fun, day trips, hikes & some bummers as well. But first, the ultimate silly face...

To be silly, Myles was closing his eyes during picture time.
When I said, "Open your eyes" he made this crazy face.
I laughed so hard I cried.

Sweet Cousins, Ollie & Alice

A trip to a butterfly garden in ATL

A snack break for sweaty kids.

Clayton & Myles keep a lookout while we wait...

"Mommy look, I found 'Tall Man'!"

Sour Cream.

Sunny day at Tallulah Gorge

Ollie Bridge

Asked him to get dressed. Found him like this.

So, Myles is allergic to mosquito bites. More so than the average human.
This is the result of a small mosquito bite on his eyebrow. 

El Artiste

In his defense, I'm the one who dared walked away from him for a whopping 2 minutes.
That's watercolor paint & attitude on his face.

G&S Go to Ms. Emily Beck's Wedding

Our friends Emily & Ken got hitched and we were so honored to be invited to their pretty wedding at Sanctuary Estates in Cleveland, GA!

We also got to catch with these crazy kids - "old" friends from Athens! Jimmy, brother of the bride, and Greg have known each other since high school and they met Pete in Athens.

Jimmy, Pete & Greg

Greg has a heart-to-heart with lil' Whitney Beck…about owls.

Such a great night catching up with friends and for a great event!

Jenna & Pete, Jimmy & Stacie and their youngest, Walter

M&O Visit Papa & GG (& those goats!)

We made a little trip to Tallahassee to visit Papa, GG, the goats 

& to celebrate Father's Day!

Ollie & Papa

Ollie doesn't want to ride a goat, y'all.

We visited the Junior Museum as well - my grandmother used to take Charley & me when we would visit during the Summer - the great parts are still there & it has even improved! There was a really cool art exhibit sprinkled throughout the area...
