Living in Georgia

 Just a few photos from around the house as we wrapped up our last couple weeks of summer vacation.  Just being silly!  My big project was clearing out the old veggie plot and putting in flowers instead. I'm much happier - plus I love the addition of the planter chairs my friend made for me.  Jack had his first sleepaway camp in July - four days at lacrosse camp at Berry College; about an hour NW of us.  His first taste of dorm life - and he LOVED it!  His brothers had fun too!  His North Paulding lacrosse teammates.  Ethan has really taken to his chore of unloading the bottom half of the dishwasher (Wyatt does the top). Guess it's time to find more for him to do around the house.  Wyatt and his collection of whales. I love that he still loves his animal friends.  Of course plenty of time was spent at the pool!  Jason set up a booth at our neighborhood festival to sell our 7Hills Honey.  We spent one afternoo

We had a few days in Seattle after the cruise before heading back home to Georgia and we made the most of it. Since we were celebrating the 4th of July in Seattle (much to the disappointment of the boys who LOVE our celebrations at home) we headed to the Indian Reservation to buy some fireworks. But first a stop at the park with an awesome climbing wall.  Both Jack and Wyatt were brave and climbed way up high. Our own little spidermen!  But we made the most of our 4th of July in Seattle by having some good friends and family over for a party with a firework display, much like at home!  We started off with our traditional day-time kid friendly fireworks.  They shoot out parachutes that the kids can catch.  The kids loved it!  As did the adults!!  Wyatt's collection.  Mia's collection.  And even Ethan got a few!!  Then the neighbor brought out the dirt bike.
