A week with Yaiyai and Pappy in the mountains

Sunday: Mom and dad left to go home while we went to putt-putt golf with yai-yai. We couldn't end our day without a little bit of ice cream. A trip to Mast General was in store for us too. We took a trip to the candy barrel there and brought home a baggie of yummy treats. Yum!

Monday: We went to a place called Bird Rock Falls. It's one of Mom's favorite waterfalls. Pappy took us since Yai-yai was golfing.


 That night, we visited Oscar Blues. There, we got to hear music and see tons of dogs. We've decided we want a golden doodle.



Tuesday: We went to the pool in the community. This was one of our favorite things. Since we don't have a pool at home in Florida, we love having the chance to go to the pool whenever we can.


Wednesday: Another day of fun in the pool. We event went to a water aerobics class with Yai-yai one day. That was really cool.

Thursday: Jump off Rock! Another of mom's favorite places. Yai-yai took us to get some photos that Mom said she wanted.
 Mom has a collection of photos of us around this tree. I think she is tracking us as we grow by seeing us near this tree.
 The last photo we have on this rock was with Dad. It's another one of the favorite photos. I think mom might have 3-4 of the group of us posing here.
We can't get over the history of this place, but the view gets us every time. I'll have mom do a post this week with the history of this place. It's simply really cool. When Dad comes with us, he likes to go exploring so I'm sure that will be in our future too.

Friday: Mom  had been teasing us saying that she was going to go to Mama Mia, here we go again! without us. So.... We got tickets and went with Yai-yai 7  hours before mom and dad had their tickets to go. HAHA! For dinner we had pizza with Pappy.

Saturday: The trip home. We were sad to head home, but we had to. We had McDs for breakfast and then snacked and snoozed all the way home. We saw a black bear on the trip down. Mom surprised us when we got home and bought both of the Mama Mia soundtracks on iTunes. We absolutely love those songs and now we can listen to them anytime! 

After a week visiting with Yai-yai and Pappy, we are happy to be home. Mack chased mom around their SUV so she could hug her first. I sat in the SUV and laughed at them. After the longest hug ever, it was my turn. We had so much fun and can't wait to go it again, but we are happy to be home for a mundane few weeks of rest before going back to school (although Dad has a trip to Busch Gardens already planned and he and I go to wrestling in Gainesville very soon).

Lots of love,
Mads

School is OUT!!!

Today was bittersweet for me.  I am happy its summer break, but that means we only have 2 years before we have a MIDDLESCHOOLER!  I cant believe we are that close already!  Both girls had a great day.  I got soaked walking to get Madispn, then the rain slacked off enough for me to have buckets of sweat rolling into my eyes!  It has been so humid here that i sweat as soon as i go outside let alone walk the more than 1/2 mile to her school.  We are starting a new walking track tomorrow... not sure how far but its gonna be fun to see

sad but true

Since the Pledge of Allegiance and The Lord's Prayer are not allowed in most public schools anymore Because the word "God" is mentioned...... A kid in Arizona wrote the attached NEW School prayer: Now I sit me down in school Where praying is against the rule For this great nation under God Finds mention of Him very odd. If Scripture now the class recites, It violates the Bill of Rights. And anytime my head I bow Becomes a Federal matter now. Our hair can be purple, orange or green, That's no offense; it's a freedom scene. The law is specific, the law is precise. Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice. For praying in a public hall Might offend someone with no faith at all. In silence alone we must meditate, God's name is prohibited by the state. We're allowed to cuss and dress like freaks, And pierce our noses, tongues and cheeks. They've outlawed guns, but FIRST the Bible. To quote the Good Book makes me liable. We can elect a pregnant Senior Queen,...
