Callaway Gardens 2008

We had a GREAT time.We went with my parents (thanks Mom and Pops!) and stayed for 3 nights back in the beginning of June. I hadn't been since I was younger, but for all you families who want a fun vacation thats not too far away- this one is a great idea! I've put pics from the butterfly house on here- it was a favorite of Kiley's and a really neat place-Don't forget to check out the safari adventure while you're in Pine Mountian! You get to drive their vans thru the safari animal preserve and feed the animals- this was really neat, of course, Shane was the biggest kid of all. ( Check out Shane w/ the giraffe.....hmmm! That's great honey-now lets make out....EWW!) We had great food and there was the CUTEST ice cream shop called the Purple Cow- believe me I gained a few lbs. there :) But more than anything I think my favorite part was just hanging out with the fam. at the pool in the afternoons- Ki and I got to spend some girl time tanning thanks to Daddy (he took Tate to nap in the room) and that was such a fun time for us girls. Just hanging out talking about nothing and catching some rays! Anyhoo- summer is flying by as always. We still have our home on the market and are waiting for God's direction on that. Please pray for us in this market! Kiley and Tate are finally starting to really enjoy each other- they play a lot during the day which helps me out and I LOVE hearing how much they laugh at each other and pretend play. It's SUCH a blessing to have children. We are going away this weekend (over the 4th) . I have planned a trip for the 4 of us- to a destination that Shane has no clue about! I planned it all and will tell him where we are headed when we are headed there. This is something I've always wanted to do for him( a surprise trip)....and we'll see how he likes it. It's not somewhere far away or anything exotic, just somewhere different than home. I'll write more about it later- since I can't let the secret out yet!
