...but WAIT there's more!

After charging my long dead camera battery 
(man, I am so crap at keeping that thing juiced up!) 
I discovered that I DID take a few pictures while we were in Georgia. 
WOO!
Sorry if this post feels about scattered and crazy. =)

The boys loved "running the Olympic track" in the history museum.
 
 Ezra and Sophie informed me that they even won a medal!
HA!
I love how much they look like each other in this picture.
Total cousin cuteness.

The cousin posse roamed the historic sites...
...they explored, inspected...
...and generally lived it up!
HA!
And, of course, I made Lisa jump in on about a million "sister heads together" pictures with me.
 Awwwww...my cute mom is such a natural poser....
 ...then Dad has to get in there and moosh everything up. 
HA!...
 ...but when we ask him to be serious....this is what we get instead.
Oh Dad!
Ezra was absolutely in love with cousin Kingston.
Isn't that look so sweet?


 Naughty boys in the fountain!
 Elephant parade in the garden.
 The pied piper leading his merry band along for a jaunt on the trail.
 We ended the night with a pool/pizza party at the hotel...
 ...I was hoping the adventurous spirit of Lisa's little water-bugs would rub off on cautious, toe-dipping, Ezra.....it didn't.
HA!
 But this little man sure loved it!
 We spent an entire day roaming the golf cart paths of the city.
That's right....the ENTIRE city is connected with a network of golf cart paths!
We must have been quite the sight with our two "stretch" carts trundling down the path....at times being steered by the under 5 crowd.
HA!
 I'm not going to lie though...I'm totally jealous of the ease of golf cart life.  
Everyone on....everyone off....no doors or seat belts to mess with.
Just get on and GO!
(Ha!  OK so this picture is a little deceptive.  We DID have the baby in a car seat the entire time the cart was moving.)
It is pretty wonderful to just pile on the cart and pop over the park though.
 Oh how I love these women!
 The view from my "good" hotel room....
 ...and a little scene stealer who wanted me to get a shot of his bed head hair.
 Pickin'!
 I love the simple joy of this activity...
 ...the hunt for the perfect treat just waiting to be plucked..
 ..then the satisfying plunk as the bucket slowly fills up with summer time goodness.
I think this was one of my favorite memories from the trip. =)
 After a long day of field labor and park play we ended up at the frozen yogurt shop...
 ...eating delicious cold treats, talking, laughing, and relaxing...
 ...well, most of us were relaxing.
HA!
 Ezra and I snuggled down at the Vincent house for a good old fashion sleepover.
Can you see the orange "Jonah blur"? 
HA HA HA!
What a fun night!
 Final meal together at the waffle house!

 We had a few minutes before the Grandparents had to catch their flight so we stopped in an abandoned airport parking garage
(a bit strange, I know, but really the only place where we could stop and say our PROLONGED goodbyes without the airport traffic cops moving us along)
Aunt Lisa and the kids put on a music video dance for us....
 ...booo how I miss crazy times with you sister!!
 We finally all said our goodbyes.
What a wonderful adventure it was to all be together again!
 After the grandparents took off we explored a bit while Ezra and I waited for our flight.
We ended up at a country antique shop.
SO FUN!
 Ezra found a model ship to bring home as a souvenir 
He was so proud of his "antique find".
Now why didn't I get a picture of that?!
 Thanks, again, darling Vincents for showing us such a wonderful time in your new hometown!
We love you!
