So this past weekend we went to Atlanta to visit Skip's sister and her family. Our purpose was twofold, as they moved into a new house last summer and we have yet to see the new spread(gorgeous!) and our nephew, Will, was celebrating his 10th birthday (go double digits!). We have been trying to get over to see them and even had plans for a Thanksgiving visit that were canceled due to illness.
This time we made it. The trio watched Elmo (Geo) and McKenna (duo) in the car, and we were there before we knew it. The duo visited and played with their cousins, William George ran around crazily, and we had an all-around good time. Most importantly, Will became a tween.
We have a photography miracle because there are a few usable shots, mostly of the monkeys.
We captured Poppa while he was furiously working the grill.
William George alternated between euphoria ("What can I smash up in here?") and panic ("My parents are going to leave me here, aren't they?").
By way of explanation, William George has a daily crash, hence the nickname "Crash Bandicoot," and always has a bruise now. Last week he had dual bruises, and he has a new one today.
The monkeys had a blast playing....
...and playing...
...and visiting...
...and helping Will with his birthday loot! Will was very gentlemanly to allow assistance.
The girls kept a close eye on Gran, who passed out snacks, changed them into pajamas and provided first aid after a trampoline incident -- all while we were chasing after George.
And that was it. We wish the visit had been longer and more photos would be nice, but we had a great time, delicious food and enjoying seeing everyone.
