ALL ABOARD!

What do you do when you get some freakishly cool summer weather that feels more like fall?

Take the kids for a ride on the Blue Ridge Train!



The train ride is an hour in each direction with a 2 hour stop on the Georgia/Tennessee border. The kids loved it until the last half hour of the trip. The Engineer felt it necessary to blow the whistle randomly and frequently. It's startling when you're sitting in an open car, especially for a tired little boy. He finally had enough and started crying. Matt had to take him back to one of enclosed cars where he cried himself to sleep... Ahhhh, it was still a good day!

The 4th Down South!



We spent the 4th on the Mississippi coast with family. Everyone had a great time as usual, especially the little kids!
My cousin Davey and his wife Melissa are expecting a little girl "Emma Grace" later this year!
Goofing off and having fun was on every one's mind. We're all on an extended break and ready to enjoy it!!!
The pool is where these two spent every waking minute (including Garrett). The bigger cousins graced us with their presence around 4pm, or when they woke up ;)
We were all thanking the Hilton's for their pool and especially Steven's watermelon!! It was too HOT to do anything else and the kids had the best time!!!
