Savannah Road Trip

Haleigh had 10 more hours -

4 of those night hours -

to complete the driving requirement

to get her driver's license.

Instead of driving in circles around our local

area we chose to take a ROAD TRIP

to one of her favorite places -

SAVANNAH, GEORGIA.

She was an AWESOME driver

and we ENJOYED the ride.

This was the case of the JOURNEY

being more important than the DESTINATION.

--BEAUTIFUL Savannah--

We only spent 45 minutes here

BUT it was a VERY LOVELY visit!

Six Flags Over Georgia

Ammon earned his own ticket to

Six Flags through a reading program

at school.  So his best friend Jack

and I accompanied him for a day of FUN.

--First ride--

 --Favorite Ride--

Superman

It was a FUN FILLED day!

My Front Porch

While living in Hong Kong I missed

SO MANY things.  One of the things

I missed most was my CUTE house

with the double front porch.

I have put some time and attention into

it since I have been home and 

I love it even more.

 I love that the kids hang out here.

They left their homemade battle ax here.

 Hanging the porch swing.

You can't be Southern and not have

a porch swing.

 A FUN view of the battle ax, the ladder

and my favorite chair.

 Since the house was so quiet without us here

the birds invaded.  Every column of both 

levels of the porch have a nest.

 Ammon is LOVING being home - 

hangin' out with his best friend Jack.

--On the back deck--

 The hibiscus is blooming BEAUTIFULLY

and I still LOVE my cute glider.

There is nothing like a front porch in Georgia.

Now to get Fred home to enjoy it with me.

2012 Olympics Opening Ceremonies

We started the evening off with an

ALL AMERICAN Dinner.

The rest of the night was filled

with SNACKS

FRIENDS

 and the AMAZING entertainment

of the London 2012 Opening Ceremonies.

 We cheered for China and Hong Kong

 BUT cheered LOUDEST for the USA!!

We LOVE the RED*WHITE*and*BLUE!!
