A Warm Georgia Autumn

Well, soccer season is over, but it isn't keeping us from spending time outside.  We have gotten relief from our brief cold spell, and we hope it lasts.  Since today was such a beautiful, warm, sunny day, we invited our friends the Cooks to come to the park with us.  The kids played on the playground for a while before heading over to to the pond to feed cereal to the minnows.

Here are some photos from the last soccer game of the season and from today.

Chip played really, really well.  He almost scored a goal in the last game!

G is behind the kid in blue, but he is running really fast

Autumn Hike

Chip, Bun, Wowo, and I just climbed to the top of Kennesaw Mountain.  It is a really beautiful fall day.  The air is brisk but not too cold, and the trees have started to change colors.  For the first time, I truly could not keep up with G, especially on the way back down the mountain.  Here are a couple of photos from the trip.

BINGO

Tonight was the annual Family Bingo Night at our elementary school.  We did not win a thing, but it was great fun anyway.  We got to spend time with lots of good friends; we were fed pizza, pretzels, beverages, and dessert; and there were many prizes to be won through both Bingo and raffles.  All for free.  We really appreciate our public school.  It's a community of happy families, and the PTA puts on nice free events for us throughout the year.

Mountain Climber

Chip got to go with the Conners today to Kennesaw Mountain with a big group of their friends.  Right now, they are playing in the leaves at the base of the mountain and having a ball.  We are so lucky to have such generous friends to include G on the big adventure.
