Bubbles and Swinging

On our way back to Tennessee, we planned to stop in Atlanta to see the kids for a few days.  We drove a little over halfway on Wednesday stopping at a KOA in Forsyth, GA.  I had enough KOA rewards built up that the site only cost $6.18 for the night.  Sweet!

The people were nice, the site was level, and because we were at the back of the campground, we couldn't hear the nearby interstate noise.  The only problem was that their interior roads were extremely rough.  We felt like the camper was going to come apart just going to our campsite.  Not sure we will stop here again because the roads were just too rough.

On Thursday, our drive was just a little under 2 hours.  After getting set up, we went over to Tafanie's house.  We were greeted with a great big hug from Bell, our oldest granddaughter.  Those hugs are SOOO SWEET!!

The afternoon was so nice we sat on the front porch...


 and played with Bell in the front yard while Emmaline was taking a nap.


Bell loves bubbles.  


So she has a BIG bubble jar.


Pa blew bubbles with Bell...


...then MiMa blew bubbles with her.



After Emmaline woke up from her nap,


we blew more bubbles in the front yard.  I showed Bell how to play hopscotch and then we walk, ran, jumped and skipped around the cul-de-sac.  I discovered an easier way to get our 10,000 steps in every day.  Put the pedometer on Bell! :)

Bell wanted to play in the back yard so we went out back where she and Pa played hide-and-go-seek.



Pa taught Bell how to take pictures with our camera.  You know from previous blog posts what a great photographer Chuck is.  Hmmm....I wonder how that will turn out?  :)  The first picture looked like it was taken by Chuck.


But the second picture Bell took of Emmaline and me turned out very good.  Good job, Bell!


Emmaline and I did a little swingin'.  She loved it!  (So did I.)  :)


Crystal and Avery arrived a little later.  Chuck's has his arms full.  :)


Avery swung by herself for several minutes.


And then Avery and Bell swung together for awhile...



My turn with Avery!  :)


After Grant and Cory got there, we enjoyed dinner together and getting caught up on everything that has been going on.  We think our granddaughters are just precious!  And guess what, we will soon have two more granddaughters:  Crystal and Grant are expecting our 4th granddaughter in May and Tafanie and Cory are expecting our 5th granddaughter in August.  Five little girls!  Sugar and spice and everything nice.  :)
