Family Trip

We took a family trip to Atlanta this week. Our dear friends, the Thomas, live in Grayson, GA. Just on the other side of Atlanta. They have 3 children; Andrew (14), Emily (12) and Abby (3). Andrew, Brice, Emily and Shelby have been friends since our days at FBC, Jackson 13 years ago. It is always so much fun getting together with them. No matter how long it has been since we have seen them, the kids always pick up like they we just saw them last week. We spent alot of time just catching up and talking and playing. We swam at their neighborhood pool and we went to Stone Mountain. The big kids were able to be a part of a mission project that Andrew and Emily are involved in. We will hopefully see them again in July at the beach. They will be there the same week we will. We will be staying about an hour from each other but we may try to get together and Brice and Shelby may stay with them a couple of nights.

Brice and Andrew riding the train to the other side of Stone Mountain. They hiked up the mountain. ( I didn't go :) )

Shelby and Emily (best buddies)

On the ropes course. I wasn't too thrilled with this activity!!

Philip made it around all three courses.

Brice taking on the "hard" course.

Andrew taking on the same "hard" course. He said his velcro on his shoes kept sticking to the ropes so he had an extra challenge than the rest of us.

Eli being alot more brave than his mother.

Shelby, all smiles as she made her way around.

Check out this video that Shelby took of the boys. We were on our way to Stone Mountain. Fun times.....
