The Pulfrey Family Visit

Alan & Jill Pulfrey--along with their sweet little ones Aaron (2.5 years) and Mary Brooks (6 months) came to visit last weekend! They traveled in from Nashville. Alan and Brandon were roommates at Auburn.

Mary Brooks truly smiled the whole time! You always hear that 2nd born children have to learn how to be laid back...and she sure was. She was so go-with-the-flow and HAPPY!

Milla and Aaron spent a lot of time serenading us! It was adorable. This picture caught them in the middle of "If You're Happy and You Know It" and they were motioning..."then your face will surely show it!"
We decided to venture out and go on a little hike. We went to a small local mountain in Cumming called Sawnee Mountain. We were about half way up when a guy headed down that was trail running tripped over a root and broke his ankle right in front of us! Within 5 seconds his ankle/lower leg was twice its normal size. We actually heard the crack! There was no way he could make it back down. He couldn't put any pressure on it--so, Brandon and Alan carried him down the mountain. At first they just supported him by the shoulders--but by the end they physically picked him up and carried him!! As sad as the situation was--it was a little bit of a funny sight to see because not only were they carrying the guy but Alan had Mary Brooks in the Baby Bjorn carrier on his chest!! In this picture you can see them from a distance.

Jill and I continued to the top with the toddlers. Everyone had skinned knees and wanted to be carried...but we finally made it and the beautiful view was worth it! Here is handsome Aaron!

Here is Milla- proud to be a the top!
Once Brandon and Alan dropped off the injured guy to his parents at the bottom they turned right around and did a speed hike to the top to meet us. They got a serious workout that day!

Brandon saw on the computer that they were going to be playing bluegrass music at a restaurant in Dahlonega...so we thought it would be neat to drive up and look around in the cute shops in the downtown square...

We arrived in Dahlonega at 5:45pm on Sunday evening...we weren't aware that basically the whole city closes down at 6!!!! So, we had just enough time to go in 1 shop...the General Store to buy some rock candy and get a jar of jam! Here is Milla taking care of Mary Brooks!
