Little Sooz in the hotel ready to go Bye Bye:
Dora? Check
Blankey? Check
Passy? Check

Rachel and my cousin, Keri

This was Gracie's first time spending the night in a 'Hohla-tale'. She loved jumping from bed to bed

It's a bird. It's a plane. It's Super Caleb!

This is Josh not jumping on the bed. We tried everything to get him to jump but he was more interested in Sports Center

A Saturday afternoon at the Bounce House. Rachel and Suzie bouncing down the slide

Me sliding down with Gracie and Suzie

Mamaw and little Suzie going down

Caleb- mid belly smacker

You can't see it but Ben's front side is blazing red from repeated attempts at me trying to get a good picture. (Ben is Keri's oldest son)

Keri- Keri is two years older than me and even though we only saw each other about once a year while growing up, we always had a great time together. Now that we are older and raising families, we see each other about once every 4 years. But still, we pick up right where we left off. No awkward 'we-are-practically-stranger' moments when we first see each other. We have a warm welcome and fall right into 'hanging-out' like we see each other all the time. I wish we lived closer but now that her parents and my mom live somewhat in the middle, we can have more family gatherings.

Hey Rachel... I followed you "home" from my blog and can't believe what I am seeing...

BELLY FLOP PICTURES? And the boys had to do them multiple times to catch it to film? AMAZING.

My kids LOVE staying in a hotel for some reason. Even if it's right down the street, it's sooo fun! Love the "flying" shots of the boys and the "bouncy" shots of you and the others on the slide!

What fun! You did get a good shot of Ben after all those attempts. It looks like everyone had a great time.

Great pics Bekah, we had such a wonderful time. The slide was fun, gotta do it again :o). Poor Ben he's a good sport to keep doing the belly flop so you could catch him in motion. I love staying in a motel. Remember the Peachtree Hotel????
Love Mom

Great pictures - gatta love those in flight ones. I have lots of memories from childhood running & jumping over something repeatedly for dad to get the in air shot.
