Georgia day 4 & 5

On Wednesday we spent the morning at home letting the kids play and the adults chat.

We had lunch at Chick-Fil-A, which was very yummy, but very stressful.  Ordering food for 10 people while trying to calm 6 kids is absolute nuts.  After everyone was sufficiently stressed and full, the boys ran some errands while Beth, the kids, and I came back home for nap time.  

I have to say, my boys slept like champs the whole trip.  Because there was so much going on, both Jake and Cal were over stimulated and needed a chance to wind down.  Dan and I made dinner for everyone as a thank you for letting us stay with them.  No one, and I mean no one liked our dinner.  It was very heartbreaking to see full plates instead of empty ones.  

After kids bedtime we played more board games and had drank some homemade slushies.  Not only were my boys exhausted, but Dan and I were also.  It's hard to recover from driving 12 hours and constantly being on the go, wether it's playing with the kids or on an outing.  We felt like terrible guests going to bed at 9 every night and wished we had more energy to stay awake for longer.

Georgia day 5

Thursday after hanging out at home and playing, we all went to a park to take family photos.  I think Beth did a great job capturing our family.

Then the boys shot off rockets. 

Jake had no interest in rockets so I set up some toys to keep him distracted from pushing buttons in the car.  Pretty soon, the rest of the kids joined.

We came home after rockets to eat lunch and take naps then we went to the pool.

We didn't swim for long due to the cold water.  We had lemon chicken for dinner then called it an early night since we decided to leave at 3:00 am again because it was a success the first time.
