What a trip!

For those of you who are not aware we just got home from Georgia... well it has been a week now! What a trip it was! We had planned a surprise for my Granny. The kids and I were going to arrive in Georgia where my dad's side of the family was vacationing and surprise them. Well Granny was the one who gave us a surprise. She ended up going in for an unexpected surgery on Monday. So all the plans changed. We needed up leaving Tues evening and arrived in Nashville on Thursday. Granny pulled through things great and we all needed up going to Georgia on Saturday. We got to see some beautiful country, visit with family and do a lot of fun things.

A beautiful waterfall we got to see up close!



The girls did not realize the they had so much family! There were 10 great grand kids ranging in ages 9 to 1 month and they all had a lot of fun. There were times the noise level was a little high, but they are still talking about all the kids and things they go to do so it was well worth it. They went tubing down the river, rode on a train, horse back riding, visit to Cabbage Patch Hospital, visit a local fair, and go on a horse and carriage ride.
Here they are with Kylee visiting the Cabbage Patch Hospital.


Mid way through the week, my mom decided that it had not been adventurous enough and fell down the stairs backwards. So the next morning we got to experience the ER in the local town. We found out it was not a simple sprain, but she had broken her heel. Later we would learned of another pain medication that she is allergic to. We also decided that she wasn't going to be every comfortable riding back in the car so we made arrangements to fly her home. Spencer was able to fly in to Atlanta to help me drive home. He did not get to see much, but we did make him pose for a few pictures!
Here is a photo with Nana and the kids before her "trip" down the stairs! They are standing on the state line. Kade is in one state and the girls in another.

The drive was about 18 hours. That is before figuring in 4 children, one of which is 5 weeks old and eats every three hours. The kids were troopers! Thank God for DVD players! It was a good trip and there were lots of memories made....but we are all glad to be home.
