Grandma Pam, Aunt Sherry, Daymian and Jordan's Visit To Georgia

Mom, Sherry, Daymian and Jordan were all able to come down to visit us during the last week in June.  It was a trip planned the week or so before they came down.  They started driving on a Wednesday and arrived after dinner that night.  We had fun seeing the sights with them!


I gave them the "list" of tourist things to do in Atlanta, so they could decide what they wanted to do when they were on vacation.  As always, it is crazy hot here from mid-June through the end of August.  So, the list definitely had to include places we could cool-off!


While they were here we:

• Went to Chili's
• Aunt Sherry bought Ava and Liam a cookie as a treat from Subway
• Checked out the local batting cages
• Visited the park along the Chattahoochee River
• Shopped at Wallyworld (aka Wal-Mart)
• Went to Six Flags Over Georgia Amusement Park, where Doug met us after work.
• Had a "Build-Your-Own" Sundae night at the house
• Went to Ava's gymnastics class
• Doug, Daymian and Jordan practiced in the batting cages
• Ate lunch at Arby's
• Went to Whitewater water park.  Doug ran with the boys while I hung with Mom and kiddos.
• Went to church
• Ate Firehouse subs (yum!)
• Had Mexican for dinner
• Visited the "dollar store"
• Aunt Sherry gave Ava and Liam some fun stickers and toys

It just so happened to be "Church of Christ Day" at Six Flags.  When we got to the gate, they asked if we were there for C of C Day. When we told them we hadn't planned on it, but were attending members, they escorted us to the gate where we received special pricing on tickets that included lunch passes and entertainment by a Christian acapella group from Faulkner.  What luck!  :-)  I think Ava got a little spooked by the witches wheel ride...She REALLY wanted to ride it.  I don't think she'll be riding a big coaster for a while.


It was fun to show Mom, Sherry and the boys all of the "must visit" places in Atlanta.  We hope they had a great time and got to check a few places off their list. :-) 


After they had a tire blow in Mom's car when they were traveling down to Georgia, we're thankful they arrived here safely and made their way back to Michigan safely. 


Peace, love and family,
Shelly, Doug, Ava and Liam

Post-Thunder River.  Anything to cool off from the Georgia summer heat!

About to get soaked!

Soaked!  Ava loved it.  :-)
