A couple of weeks ago, Ben was scheduled to go to a conference in Atlanta. Since Atlanta is "only" about 3 hours from my parents (and grandparents and sister) and we came across very reasonable tickets to get there, the kids and I decided to go too. It was really a nice trip. We hadn't seen my side of the family since Thanksgiving, so it was SO good seeing them! The kids had a blast too!
When we left Minnesota, it was mid-30* temps at the end of April - BRRRR! But we were flying into Atlanta where it was about 75* or so. So almost as soon as we got off the plane I took Greyson's long sleeve shirt off of him leaving only his overalls - very hick! He fit in perfectly now.
It took about 5 hours to get to Grant from Atlanta because of Atlanta traffic (uggghhh!) but the kids did very well. (FYI - the roadtrips back and forth to Atlanta were also a little test to see what the kids might be like on our upcoming LONG roadtrip to Arkansas. I know...we're CRAZY!) Ben came and hung out with us in Grant for a couple of days until he had to leave for his conference. That was awesome to have some time away from the normal grind as a family with extended family.

My boys resting.... how sweet!
After Ben left to go back to Atlanta, it was just me, my parents, and the kids (and the occasional grandparent that stopped by). We were able to get some great bonding time in, especially at the petting zoo. That was fun!

Thanks GaGa and Grandpa for having us!!! Love you!
Here are some videos that I took while we were there too that you might enjoy...
