Summer Days - August




We had a fun filled August here in the Grant house. I got a yummy new dessert recipe for BonBons and had to make them as soon as we got back from FL. Of course all the kids had to lick the bowls and spoons. Yummy!!

I had a little mental block and thought it would be so fun to go to the beach with my friends and the kids without the boys!! Yes, I said without HELP! ha ha. It was Dana, Marianne, and myself with 7 fully energtic kids. It was close quaters, but honestly I did have a good time. Except, I got hooked on Chocolate Shakes and French Fries (my birthday outing at Johnny Rockets). I think I had a chocolate shake everynight for a few weeks after that. (Time to start running again)!!

We always have fun at the neighborhood pool, and for the last weekend of summer they had a big party with a DJ, games, and cocktails. We love hanging out with our buddies and always have a good time. School starts and a new routine begins soon.

Summer Times ending



Summertime came to a quick end, but we had a blast. Mackenzie did her first zip line at Stone Mountain and loved it. Her and Campbell really loved the lazer show it was so fun. Scott was even impressed! For me it brought back the memories of going there as a kid with my cousins. We went to Fl to see Uncle Jasons and Aunt CaCa's new house. It was a short visit but we had a great time. Us girls had pedicures, we swam at the pool, the beach, and the park. They also had a big BBQ and some of our good old friends were there and it was great catching up with everyone.
