Wet weekend

We were happy to have accomplished plenty of firsts this past weekend.

Our first plane ride as a family (for Michael and Joshua, it was their first trip on board an aircraft--ever). Yes, Joshua could have behaved better. But we're glass half full kind of people. He could have been much worse.

While we were in Georgia, the boys bonded over football, chicken nuggets, and the lousy weather.





We really enjoyed ourselves at our first tailgate. The boys played a game called "Tailgate golf." Big fun that revolved around throwing things at a target. We knew the weather was going to be bad, so we prepared as much as we could. Our whole goal was to make it to our first University of Georgia football game. We bought bright yellow and blue (for the adults) ponchos to try to stay dry. And yes, we needed them.



By the way, the ponchos really didn't work. It was raining that hard.

I still cannot believe how many people joined us for one of the wettest evenings I have seen in some time.

You might not be able to see the raindrops, but you can certainly see how happy we are to be in such soggy conditions. Truth be told, though, I wouldn't have had it any other way. We went through plenty to get to those bleachers.

The game started off fine. Jason was really into the action on the gridiron. By the middle of the first quarter, though, Jason was getting a little tired of squishy shoes. Still no complaints, though. All three held up remarkably well considering the circumstances.



Doug was on cloud nine, soggy shoes and all. Even better, the Bulldogs pulled off a victory.



We had other adventures during our brief visit to the Peach State. We saw Aunt Jeanne, Uncle Dave, Aunt Stacie, and cousins Ezekiel and Elijah. And you know what? The boys still say the best part of our trip was being with their cousins. We had a great time.







Now that we know we can handle a plane ride, we'll have to do it again!
Until next time!!!
We love you!
