Mini Family VaCa

Friday morning Athen and I meet Ninnie, Eric, Jett and headed North to Atlanta. Kevin was already up there with work. Friday we went to Stone Mountain. The boys really thought it was neat to see a BIG mountain like that. We rode up to the top of it - that was Nikki's FAVORITE part There was also still snow on top of the mountain... So Athen got to see real snow for the first time.... He thought that it was 'cool' =)

Then Saturday we went to the Georgia Aquarium. I think we all really enjoyed that. It was pretty neat. After that we went to Discover Mills Mall. Now, when I think of a mall I think of just simple shopping.... yeah, not so much at this one... they had all kinds of things to do. ((Which all cost!! No indoor castle for free play here)) They had this thing where you strap on a harness and jump on a trampoline. Athen did that... he really liked it. We also did glow in the dark putt putt. There was a bounce house in there - but it cost just as much to bounce for only 30 minutes as it does for all day at Money Joes.... so we dropped the big boys off at the golf store and took the little ones to money joes.

That was pretty much all we had time to do and headed back home yesterday (WOOOHOOO)

We had a good time.

I forgot my camera so all the pictures are from cell phones...

Instead of....

If you are FaceBook friend of my sister's, you have probably seen this.... If so or if not still feel free to join it... its very uplifting and just makes you stop and really think....

I (she, Nikki) began a list of "instead Of's"
It's a way to help us think in a more positive way. May people tend to be negative and its contagious. So on the reverse of that, being POSITIVE!

Add one "instead of" to the comments list....
I will start...
Instead of complaining about going to work......I will be thankful that I am able bodied enough to get up and go AND that I have a job to go to.

Now your turn.... I hope our efforts to be more positive are contagious!!!
