Georgia Trip

Megan and the kids took a trip out to Georgia this month to visit Marcus' sister Cheri. Her mom also went with. We had so much fun while we were there and saw so many different things it was too difficult to narrow down the pictures to just few, so you will have to look at the slideshow instead.

While in Georgia we made a visit to Okefenokee Swamp Park. Anything you think of when someone says they went to a swamp - wet, hot, dangerous, alligators - is what it is like. It was so cool, but a little freaky, especially with all the signs posted saying "Stay on path, all animals are real and dangerous." Thankfully we had no fatalities during our visit and we did get to see many alligators up close. We went on a boat tour of the river and later we got to pet some snakes, gators, and even got to have one on our head or face! (Yes, gators do smell funny)

Another day we went to Savannah (a very pretty place) and went to Tybee Beach. Payton and Annie had a TON of fun there. We were just planning to wade in the water a little bit, but of course the kids got soaked. They ran around the whole time we were there. Funny kids!
Also in Savannah we got to experience our first huge rainstorm. When it rains there, it POURS! I have never seen so much rain in my life, it was crazy and awesome to drive in! The roads flooded because there was so much water, but you just keep driving in it because you never know when it is going to stop.
The kids had a lot of fun together, of course we had to get some bath time footage of the three little cousins. They are so funny!

Family Update

Payton is finally learning how to be a little softer with his sister, slowly but surely! He loves to give her hugs and kisses all the time. If he walks into the room with me and I am not holding Emma, he is quick to look around and see where she is. I think he likes having her around.

Payton ran out the door one day and decided he wanted to ride the Jetski's in our driveway. Who say's you need a big lake to have fun on one of these?

Cute baby Emma in her bath and posing with her Daddy after. She is getting so big so fast!

If you ever come over to our house, Payton would love to show you his new bed! He has had it for a few months, but we are under the impression that he REALLY likes it and always wants people to see it. It is very cute! He also likes to sleep between the bed and the wall sometimes, why sleep on it when you can squish next to it?

Emma has the cutest little cry, she sounds so girly. Here is a little clip of it. Notice what Payton says in the background at the beginning, funny kid.

In case you can't understand him, he says "Baby Emma, stop!" If Emma cries too much (which is not very often) he usually says that, but she rarely listens. :)
