Atlanta Vacation - Day 1 - Park, Preview and Portraits

We finally went on vacation last week. We decided to load up the car and drive 10 hours to Atlanta to see my parents, sister/brother-in-law, grandmother, brother/sister-in-law and step-brother. We left early last Friday and arrived at my grandmothers just in time for dinner. After that we drove over to Nana and Grandpa's house. The kids played, had ice cream and then crashed for the night. Gracie did not do well that night as she woke up scared because she didn't know where she was. That was then followed by her throwing up in the middle of the night. Need less to say I did not get much sleep that night.

The next day the fun began. Nana had to attend to something so Scott, Grandpa, the kids and I packed up some snacks, drinks and balls and headed to the park near there house. The kids had a blast.

Nat took off running.

Gracie hit the slides.
There was climbing.
And more climbing.
Swinging...assisted by Grandpa.
More running.
Being pushed by Daddy in the swing.
Exercising.
More sliding.
More swinging like a monkey.
Duck following.
Duck chasing.
Running by Gracie.
Flower picking.
Soccer playing.
Even more climbing.
Still running.
Bird feeding.
Making friends.

Then we had lunch and took the kids back to Nana's house for naps. While the kids napped I scouted out the botanical garden for my photo shoot that I would be having on Monday.

Then before dinner we got ready to go to the baseball game. I decided to have an impromptu photo shoot with the kids that turned out great. These need to be edited so they can be printed and hung but I love the way they turned out.







More to come.............
