2 weeks after the beach, Greg's sister, Jodi, and two of her kids, Ian and Katie came for a visit. They are adding on to their house in Chattanooga and have been wanderers this summer. We were very excited to have them wander to Greenville!
The kids played outside when it wasn't unbearably hot! Max loved having 2 extra people to play with
The boys and I played Monopoly.
There was lots of reading
Kids played chess and checkers
One day we went to our waterpark-above Ashley is floating on the lazy river and below in a black shirt is Scott floating around too.
Here is Scott about to shoot someone with a water gun
Ashley and Katie up on the water playground

I caught the real Scott smile!
Going home after a fun full day of playing!
popsicle snacks
a pretty rainbow one afternoon
lots of jumping
more reading and snacks
playing at our neighborhood pool! They also went on bike rides, took Max to the dog park, went to the library, bought school supplies, had MANY nerf gun battles, and did a little sleeping. It was GREAT fun having them at our house!
A really fun percussionist came to perform and let kids play instruments
Not happy to have their picture taken at the dog park
Jodi went on to Atlanta on Saturday. The kids and I all followed on Monday-we had a fun trip down to Atlanta-stopping at Mayfield Dairy for a tour and obscenely large free scoops of ice cream!
Then Jodi and Maggie met us at Grandaddy and Granny Joan's house for a visit. The boys were tying scout knots with Grandaddy!
Then we flew paper airplanes-which the kids had also done at our house-landing several on the window ledge of the HIGH window above our front door!
Grandaddy even rigged a basket "elevator" for the planes to all ride back up to the deck in
Ashley's new stuffed hamster even went for a flight but he crashed!
Then they all got a little wet down in the creek!
We did a lot of playing at Grammy's pool in too and it poured rain but didn't thunder so we just stayed! I left my camera at home by mistake so I don't have pictures of the pool playing down in the basement and cousin adventures of all 9 at Grammy's house.
Our last morning at Grammy's we met our Killingsworth triplet cousins at the Main Event for lasertag, arcade games, and
this cool gravity ropes course!
I think Scott would have stayed up there playing around all day if he could have!
We packed up and headed home on Wednesday for some more summer fun at home before the beginning of school........
