{Stone Mountain w/Rabner Clan}

This has been an odd spring for Atlanta it has been pretty chilly but we were VERY lucky to have such beautiful 75 degree weather. Stone Mountain was so much fun with all of the kids. It was the prefect place with something for everyone. We had a blast. We only wish they would have been open longer so we could have played longer. 

I love when we actually get a family photo. Even though Ryker is usually not happy about it. One day he will be grateful we have pictures of him as a child doing fun things. 

 Pete, Shellie, Joey, and Jon did the BIG ropes course and we did the kiddie one. Ryker and Arabella did so well and had so much fun. I am so excited to play here with Ryker and that he is big enough to do it.  He did so well. 

 I got to do a little bit of rock climbing. More fun when you have someone to race. Next time. 

 Riding the train. We are train loving families.

We had so much fun playing with our cousins all week. Thanks for coming to visit us before we leave Atlanta. We cant wait to play with our cousins again this summer in Nashville!!! 

{MMMMM Food}

Gray baby got to try food for the first time while the Rabner's were here. He did surprisingly well with it. He is too stinkin cute with all of his chubs and rolls. I just love kissing this sweet baby. 

{Game Ranch w/Rabner Clan}

Friday morning Pete was able to fly in to spend a few days with us. We love the Yellow River Game Ranch and have not been here in about a year. We love feeding the animals here. Its a good way to get rid of old veggies. 

    This is how excited we were to have Brady with us for the day! 

 It was cool to have this lama eat this apple out of my hand. He took little bites just like us. I was a little bit scared he might nibble on my fingers he was enjoying it so much. 

 Ryker had a lot of fun feeding these brown bears. They really enjoyed the carrots Ryker was feeding them. 

 These sheep were CRAZY about the graham crackers. 

 We couldn't get the bunnies to eat any carrots but Ryker sure LOVED holding this one. He didn't even mind when it scratched his arm. He was too cute with it. He will be one HAPPY boy when we get a pet. 

To finish off a fun day outside we hit up the specialty snowball shop in Downtown Decatur. Pete and Shellie loved it as much as we do. This place is unreal good and there is the prefect park a block away that we got to play at while eating them. 

{Botanical Gardens w/ Rabner Clan}

The tulips are finally blooming at the Botanical Gardens and just in time for our trip. The sun was out and so was the wind but we all enjoyed being outside looking at and smelling beautiful flowers. 

 These two cousins were too cute holding hands. 

 Ryker really likes to smell the flowers and maybe sometimes touch them. He is also learning the names of some of the flowers. He know daffodils and tulips. I will be sad when our pass expires here at the end of April. At least we will get to enjoy one more spring here before we move. 

 After we got done playing at the gardens we walked next door to Piedmont Park to feed the ducks and play on the playground. 

{Zoo w/ Rabner Clan}

We love visitors. Especially family visitors. Pete, Shellie, and the kids were able to come for Spring Break. It was so fun having them here. Ryker really loved having his cousins sleep in his room with him. Our first adventure was the Zoo. 

 The kids enjoyed climbing on all of the statues more than the animals. It was a bit of a bummer trip. We got there later in the afternoon and things closed earlier than I thought and we didn't get to do/ see everything the kids wanted to. I felt bad that I goofed that up. Good thing they weren't too upset about it. 

 Ryker is now a climber. I love this! I am a HUGE climber and it is fun for me to see him be more adventurous . 

Ryker and Arabella became quite the little buddies. I love watching Ryker develop friendships with his cousins and aunts and uncles. This is something I didn't really have growing up and I want my children to have these relationships. I think they are VERY important. 

{Easter Egg Hunt}

 I braved it and took the 3 crazies on an adventure all by myself with no friends for back up. This was a BIG thing for me. Abby and Ryker were VERY excited about the egg hunt even though I could not get a photo to prove it. Ryker was running away from me trying to take a picture and Abby's face is priceless. 

Then a few minuets later Ryker wanted his picture taken with Abby and wanted to hold her hand and it was cracking me up that she wanted nothing to do with him. Silly kids. 

 My sweet Gray baby was a champ as always. 

 They did 3 separate egg hunts and we were there for all of  them. Abby and Ryker had a blast and by the 3rd one they were really good at finding the eggs. I am so happy we were able to go and we all made it home alive.
