What a time we’ve had!

Well, life and time has slipped away and in the last month we have been to Savannah for my high school reunion, been to Charlotte for the 4^th of July and celebrated Chase turning 5! I guess I have some catching up to do.

Savannah – We went to Savannah for my high school reunion (I will age myself here and admit that it was my 20^th) and took my mom along for the ride. We had a girls’ only gathering on Friday night (I went to an all-girls Catholic High School) and then a couples gathering on Saturday night.

We arrived in Savannah and decided to walk River Street and play in City Market to let the boys stretch their legs and burn off some energy. There are some great play spaces in City Market now and the boys loved them all. The water park and the live band were their favorite. I know they enjoyed the band because while I was on my own Friday night, Jason, Mom and the boys had dinner, drinks (the adults) and played. I returned home to my boys fast asleep from dancing to the live band at City Market and when they woke up, the first thing they all wanted to show me was their new tattoos! (temporary of course, but still a shock for me).

Saturday morning we headed to the new Children’s Museum and Play area at the Round House. IT WAS AWESOME! All kid-friendly and kid-powered. No electronics or batteries required. Our boys played and played and then played some more!

That day had a special 'water play' activity. This is the 'car wash'. Jason is already trying to price out the pieces to make one of his own!

Thanks to Nora for helping create this wonderful kids play space.

From there we hit the Yacht Club Pool to catch up with old friends and swim (again to burn off some energy!)

Jason and I headed out to my reunion, Mom grabbed dinner and we left the boys with a sitter who did a wonderful job with them. We returned back to the hotel to find this….

Tired boys! G, A, J

We got up Sunday morning early so we could get home for fireworks at the YMCA Freedom Festival but the rain had us heading out before the show could officially begin. The boys had a great time catching up with friends and enjoying the activities they had set up on the lawn.

Happy almost 4th of July!

 What a great trip we had and that seemed to only be the beginning of the crazy for us. In just a couple of days, we packed up and headed to Charlotte for the 4th of July.
