More Blue Ridge Georgia

 

 This gorgeous view is what Stephen and I enjoyed with our morning coffee.

 

We rented a pontoon boat for the week so we all enjoyed tubing, boat rides and water skiing all week.

Look at that water!

It was so crystal clear and beautiful!

The house behind us was our rental house and it was perfect for all of us :) 

 

The big girls floating and talking.

 

Love my surfer boy.

  

The little girls LOVED tubing!

 

We brought our paddle board from home and we all enjoyed paddling on the smooth lake.

 

The boys taking a swim break.

 

Boat snuggles are the best.

 

 

 

We celebrated Matthew's 14th Birthday while in Georgia!

 

The house had an awesome fire pit so we could enjoy smores and sunsets :) 

 

Summer Vacation to Blue Ridge, Georgia

 

By July, our family could not have been more ready to take an awesome family vacation!

Covid couldn't keep us away from our own lake house for the week!

 

We are here!!!

 

 

 

Love these kiddos!

 

Me and Little Bit excited for an awesome week!

 

 

 

 

Our house even had it's own waterfall leading down to the pristine lake.

 

My favorite human in the world! 

Love, love, love!

 

The first day in Georgia we decided to take a hike on the Appalachian Trail to the beautiful Amicalola Falls.

 

 

We loved this trip even more because our dear family friends, the Gordon's, came with us!

 

The hike was beautiful!

 

We made it to the top of the Falls!

 

At the bottom of the falls, the kids took off their shoes and had some fun but the water was freezing!

 

Super fun first day in Georgia!

 

Happy 17th Birthday Amelia

 

Amelia picked to spend her birthday on Horn Island with her besties.

After an adventurous boat ride, they made it!

Good job Captain Dad!

 

Little brother even got to come.  

 

You won't meet a sweeter group of kids.

 

Addison was certain Amelia would love a mini Unicorn pinata for her 17th birthday.

 

 

She was right!

 

Addison also made Amelia a chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream frosting!

It was delicious!

Happy Birthday sweet Amelia.  

We are immensely proud of you and thank God for the blessing you are to us and everyone you know.  We can't wait to continue to watch you conquer the world!

We love you so much!

 

Suessical the Musical

 

Addison participated in another two week theater production this summer.  The theater company performed Suessical the Musical!  

Addison was given the part of Cat in the Hat and the Sour Kangaroo, she had solo songs and songs with her fellow cats, as well as choreography.  

We are amazed by her love of theater and performance.  

The directors gave her the theater award for the two weeks for knowing her lines, being the most prepared and enthusiasm.  

 

This little cutie!

We are so proud of her!

 

Masks for the audience but at least the show got to happen!

 

Support from Big Bro and Big Sis :) 

 

I mean...can you tell she loves it!  

We hope we have more theater productions in our future!

 

Father's Day

 

 

Happy Father's Day Stephen!

These kiddos are so blessed to have you guide them, teach them, love them and laugh with them.  

We love you!

Wings Theater Production:Aladdin

 

Addison was thrilled to be able to be in the theater production of Aladdin Jr. this summer.  She was in every dance and singing ensemble as well as getting her very first speaking part :)  

 

Addison sparkled on stage, she loved every second of the production and the whole family knew the soundtrack to Aladdin Jr. by the time the two weeks were over :)

 

Addison's big lines!

 

"Never Had a Friend Like Me"

 

Addison and Emily, Emily was Jasmine and we are church buddies.

 

Congratulations Addison!  We are so proud of you!

  

Our church friends in the theater :)
