A Week with Grandma and Grandpa (Part 2)

The day after going to Helen we spent the morning at the temple with my parents. We then spent that evening enjoying the laser light show at Stone Mountain Park. I really want to do the light show on the 4th of July one year- it makes you feel super patriotic and proud of the country we live in!
Anyway, here are some cute pictures before the show started...






The next day was Sunday, which we spent relaxing.

Then the last day my parents were here we went to the Georgia Aquarium. We have been to the aquarium before, but never on a day where it was practically empty so we actually got to enjoy it without being shoulder to shoulder with strangers or rushing through it.

I think my dad found his little piece of heaven.



























It was really fun getting some time off from work for Jameson and spending time together as a family. We can't wait for our next visitors! 

A Week with Grandma and Grandpa! (Part 1)

The first day my parents arrived was Easton's birthday so we spent the day going to lunch and celebrating the birthday boy. 

The next day was a beautiful day. We drove up north about an hour to a place called Helen, Georgia. We went last year and loved the little German town, so with my dad being German we had to take him. We tried to feed the bears again, but the place had closed down. Not surprising since the bear enclosures were a little depressing. We also had to stop by the Hansel and Gretel candy chocolate shop, which is so delicious, as well as get some boiled peanuts for my brother at one of those "side of the road" stores. 

We then made our way to Ana Ruby Falls for a short, paved hike to the water falls. It was beautiful! One child insisted on being in the stroller the whole time and the other insisted on walking the the whole time. Can you tell which one was which? 

Also, a certain little boy was extremely attached to his uncle the whole time, which was so adorable!




















Our sequence of trying to get a semi-decent picture in front of the falls... That Easton sure is fiesty!
