Vacation -- Part 1

Well, we finally got to see John Mark for the first in about 2 years. It's been WAY too long...and we had such a great time together. We got to their house in Georgia on Monday evening and had to leave Wednesday in order to check in at Wyndham resorts in Sevierville. But we made the most of the few hours we had together. They wanted to plant flowers around the front of their house, so we helped prepare the beds and plant the flowers. Here are some pictures of the wonderful memories we made! The kids enjoyed time with Grandpa and Grandma -- Grandpa walked Lexie to the bus stop the morning we left. That made her day!! Next time we'll plan a longer vacation with them....the time went by MUCH TOO quickly and we all hated to say good bye! Love you guys!!!

Relaxing after the hard work is done
John Mark cooked our breakfast before we left on Wednesday--this is the proof!
Now we're in Tennessee until next Tuesday. So after we return home, I'll post the pictures from the 2nd leg of our vacation. Until then, know I'm chillin' and enjoying wonderful times with Joy's family.
