Our 2nd down day at the Fort gave us tons of pool time to relax!
We have been having a lot of fun with our GoPro since we launched. It’s perfect for adventuring! I love how durable it is, I can pass it over to the kids easily! It’s small and waterproof too! We all had fun taking turns shooting with it at the Fort Wilderness pool.
One of the highlights of visiting Atlanta was visiting the MLK Jr. National Historic Site and birth place. My kids loved it and we all learned a lot. As a parent, it’s hard to have the conversations about how humans can treat one another so horribly, but it’s vitally important. Jude, my empath, soaked it all up and took every ounce of pain and injustice straight to his heart. “Momma, that wasn’t that long ago…”. “But why, I don’t understand why people hate.” This hands on learning experience and the conversations it brought about solidified why we are doing this trip, this way […]
I took the kids for a walk down to the fishing dock across from Stone Mountain. The view and the sunset were gorgeous, but I only had my phone camera on me at the time. We took advantage and went back on the last sunny day in the forecast for awhile with my real camera. And I am so glad we did.
I’m pretty sure Jonah was marching away to grab a stick. For real, Jonah finds sticks everywhere. We were in an empty parking lot the other day and somehow that boy found a stick with no trees and nothing around us. Jude is right, sticks find Jonah. At the end of […]
Oh boy! This one gave me a run for my money today. He decided to run over and push the emergency button on top of Stone Mountain 😳 This included loud sirens, bells, flashing lights and a rushing emergency crew. Y’all. I cannot even. Then later in the day, after many conversations about why we don’t push those buttons sans emergency, he pushed the emergency button in the elevator at the MLK Center. Yes, Jonah is living his best life.
ps: this photo looks a bit scary, but he’s totally safe. The top is expansive and fenced in. There is not a drop off directly behind him 😊
On our way home a sweet couple stopped to ask if the fish were biting down at the dock. Nope, no biting fish, only bickering kids. 🙄😂 At least it looked peaceful!
It’s definitely not my favorite thing to arrive at a new campground after dark. But it is my favorite thing to watch these boys wake up and discover a new beautiful view from their bed when day breaks. They love the surprise when it’s this beautiful. If we land next to the camp bathroom, not so much.
