Vaillant Family Fun

A couple weeks ago Eric had a week of vacation so we planned a trip to Georgia to visit his family and give everyone a chance to meet Lincoln! We stayed for 5 days and had a great time. We flew out on a Saturday afternoon and arrived in Atlanta around 5:30pm. Hayden, Lincoln, and Mommy pretty much slept the whole plane ride there. We still had close to a two hour drive to Eric's parents house so it was a long travel day. To top it off they lost our large luggage so Eric and I were pretty much stuck with what we were wearing until they delivered it to the house the next night. :)

On Sunday, Mel hosted an Origami Owl open house for me. We had lots of family and friends stop by and lots of people made purchases. It was a great party! One of Eric's best buddies also came by with his family. Lincoln was able to meet their baby girl, Sydney, who is only a month older. That night we had family dinner and the kids played outside well into the night. Hayden loved playing with all his cousins and was pretty much non-stop our whole trip.

On Monday and Tuesday night all the family came over to Mel & George's for dinner. Both nights George got the fire pit going and the kids made Smores. Eric was able to take Hayden to the park on one of the warmer days and a local play place called Monkey Joe's. I stayed back with Lincoln and Nana a lot but we did get out for a walk. :)

We flew back on Wednesday afternoon. The boys mostly stayed awake for this flight and Hayden really enjoyed looking out the window of the plane. It was a great trip and we loved having so much time with the Vaillant family! Here are some pics from our big trip.....
