A week with Yaiyai and Pappy in the mountains

Sunday: Mom and dad left to go home while we went to putt-putt golf with yai-yai. We couldn't end our day without a little bit of ice cream. A trip to Mast General was in store for us too. We took a trip to the candy barrel there and brought home a baggie of yummy treats. Yum!

Monday: We went to a place called Bird Rock Falls. It's one of Mom's favorite waterfalls. Pappy took us since Yai-yai was golfing.


 That night, we visited Oscar Blues. There, we got to hear music and see tons of dogs. We've decided we want a golden doodle.



Tuesday: We went to the pool in the community. This was one of our favorite things. Since we don't have a pool at home in Florida, we love having the chance to go to the pool whenever we can.


Wednesday: Another day of fun in the pool. We event went to a water aerobics class with Yai-yai one day. That was really cool.

Thursday: Jump off Rock! Another of mom's favorite places. Yai-yai took us to get some photos that Mom said she wanted.
 Mom has a collection of photos of us around this tree. I think she is tracking us as we grow by seeing us near this tree.
 The last photo we have on this rock was with Dad. It's another one of the favorite photos. I think mom might have 3-4 of the group of us posing here.
We can't get over the history of this place, but the view gets us every time. I'll have mom do a post this week with the history of this place. It's simply really cool. When Dad comes with us, he likes to go exploring so I'm sure that will be in our future too.

Friday: Mom  had been teasing us saying that she was going to go to Mama Mia, here we go again! without us. So.... We got tickets and went with Yai-yai 7  hours before mom and dad had their tickets to go. HAHA! For dinner we had pizza with Pappy.

Saturday: The trip home. We were sad to head home, but we had to. We had McDs for breakfast and then snacked and snoozed all the way home. We saw a black bear on the trip down. Mom surprised us when we got home and bought both of the Mama Mia soundtracks on iTunes. We absolutely love those songs and now we can listen to them anytime! 

After a week visiting with Yai-yai and Pappy, we are happy to be home. Mack chased mom around their SUV so she could hug her first. I sat in the SUV and laughed at them. After the longest hug ever, it was my turn. We had so much fun and can't wait to go it again, but we are happy to be home for a mundane few weeks of rest before going back to school (although Dad has a trip to Busch Gardens already planned and he and I go to wrestling in Gainesville very soon).

Lots of love,
Mads

MEMORY FULL....

So,after not falling asleep until well after 2am this morning, I got up at 8, and got the kids ready, packed the van and we were off to Mom's for Maddie's party.... So, I made sure I didn't forget my camera. That was a major thing... so, we get there and the castle jump was already there. The girls went and got in it right away, I started taking pics. After just 5 pictures, a screen says, Memory Full. I had forgotten my memory card. And since I had to go to walmart for mom anyway, I got a disposable camera to do the party with. So, no pics til I get them developed and then I have to scan them to the desktop so I can then download them here... Long process but you will like the pics (i think). Anyway, I am off. TTYL! Dawn

Workout #27

So, here's the challenge. And above, you can see my entry. Kenzie had done crosswords or circle a words (I can't remember) with Gigi and I snapped a pic of her doing it. I absolutely love the design of the sketch we were supposed to use for this lo. It allows for a simple, yet stunning layout. It allows room for journaling as you can see that I added as well as plenty of negative space! And the breakdown goes like this, picture was taken from my collection, background paper was from k and company the best of k and company pad, the circles were literally just picked out of my scrap box. I didn't even look at the papers, i just did a random pick. the lettering was taken from an old sheet of alphas i had and I think they worked out great!!! Simple yet Stunning! Thank you Scrap Fit for the challenge.
