The best neighbors and friends, The Smith's, came for a visit at the end of June. We were all very excited to see them and spend a few days catching up. We miss them so much! It's hard when you go from seeing someone everyday to once in three months. But, the time apart didn't keep the girls from immediately going to Carrington's room and playing (just like they did everyday we lived next door), or keep Bonnie and I from chatting about our favorites like cooking, working out, and cocktails, and the guys had no problem predicting the upcoming football season.
The women and kids hit the pool on Friday while the guys played golf. After dinner and a lot of swimming we got the girls situated for a sleepover. This was their first sleepover with each other. They did great, both nights, going to sleep and not waking up early.
Saturday morning we celebrated Hayden's belated birthday at American Girl. The girls took their dolls to the shop, bought a few things, and then had lunch with their dolls at the café. It was very cute to watch them take in everything around them. Carrington asks often if we can go back for her birthday.
Bonnie and I were able to sneak out that evening for a girls night out. The clubhouse was hosting Sangria Night so we headed there and met some Reunion neighbors for a few drinks.
The two best neighbors I could ever ask for!!!

And then there was the Atlanta Zoo! We went to the zoo after American Girl. All the kids napped on the way there but you wouldn't have known by the way they acted. I guess they were being one with the animals...crazy and unpredictable. The dad's really enjoyed it. Kelly was with us and had a good time (she was also the photographer). The kids were good one minute and unpleasant the next. The mom's were ready to go after five minutes. Yes, there were lots of cool, exotic animals to see but the heat, smell, and whining kids were unforgiving. Enough complaining, on to the picture show...
See what I was doing the whole time, and a lot of it was uphill and many times I had three kids riding in the stroller! Enough said!
