Back Tracking

So I posted a while ago that we moved from Provo to Des Moines. Well, we got to Des Moines, and three days later we were back on the road for another 16 hours. We went to Athens, Georgia for a family reunion on Reid's dad's side of the family. It is the first family reunion that I remember going to and it was a fun-filled three days. The first day we went to Uncle Curry and ViAnne's house and played in the pool and had a yummy potluck dinner.


Abigail loved going down the water slide and playing with G.G. (Great Grandma Johnson).

The next day we tubed the Chattahoochee River and then played a really fun family trivia game. I don't remember who won, but it was awesome getting to know the extended family better.

The last day was a scavenger hunt of important places that Craig and his brother and sisters used to go to when they were little. It was really fun. I am really glad that we got to see Reid's cousins that we haven't seen in a long time. Chelsea took some family photos for us. Thanks so much again!!

After the reunion we headed to Anniston, Alabama to Grandmommy and Granddaddy's house. We spent almost a week there and helped Sarah work on her salon. We got a lot done, and it was just awesome to be able to help and be able to see the progress that has been made in person. While we were there, we to a hole in the wall restaurant called The Ark and had some good fried fish and even tried FROG LEGS! Yup I tried some and surprisingly it wasn't too bad. We were sad to leave, but we had to make it back home. On the way home we stopped at the St. Louis Zoo (it was free!) but didn't stay long because, one we wanted to get home and two, it was extremely hot and humid! And that was our fun trip. It was really nice to actually have a vacation to relax and not have to get back for work or school.





I hope you enjoyed the pictures as much as we enjoyed our trip!
