Family Fun Weekend!

 

For the first time in a few weeks we were going to have both kids home for the whole weekend... so we decided to make it a "family fun weekend" and spend the whole weekend doing things together. It was so much fun! Friday night we picked Mitchell up from tennis clinic and went to see the "Indiana Jones" movie. Then on Saturday morning we got up and packed our bikes onto the car, then headed to the Athens Greenway for a very fun bike ride. The three mile trail is paved and goes from Sandy Creek Nature Center to downtown Athens. We had a great time! We rode the length of the trail, had lunch out in Athens, then headed back up the trail to our car. Mitchell and Amelia couldn't believe that they had ridden for six miles! Saturday afternoon we rested and watched football on TV and our computer (since Clemson wasn't on TV). Then we drove up to Hurricane Shoals Park in Maysville, GA and tried out their new miniature golf course. It is very hard (because of lots of slanted holes)! The neat thing about the course is that it teaches you a lot about the history of the area and has little models all around of different things such as schools, churches, etc. We really enjoyed seeing the park also and would like to go back and spend more time there... with a picnic! Saturdy night we settled in for the night to watch the Dawgs beat Arizona! Today was the typical Sunday for us... church, youth group, relaxing. We were very happy to get to spend some quality time as a family this weekend because sadly those times will be harder to find in the future. We will take any moment we can and make it special!
