Milla and Elizabeth 
Milla got to go with Elizabeth
to Kiawah Island for the 4th of July!!
Love this one with the marsh….
Reminds me of Dawson’s Creek! 
They has so many fun activities!
One night there was a dance party!
Volleyball
Sunsets
    
They did tie dye, painted pottery,
went to a water park, a carnival,
competed in a sand sculpture contest,
rode bikes down the beach to watch the 
sunrise, and tried every hamburger at 
 on Kiawah Island! 
So much fun!
Thank you Anne, Elizabeth, 
and Philip! 
We got to watch fireworks at
Mt. Paran North (Papa Ray’s Church)
They had music, jumpy houses, and
food trucks
FIREWORKS
Fireworks with neighbors in our cul-de-sac

It was a hit! They still worked!

Fathers


❤️Happy Father’s Day Brandon!!! ❤️
We had a plan to rent a boat for the day
on a Lake Chatuge….it was rainy and cloudy
in the morning but we threw on our suits 
and loaded up the cooler anyway…
As we headed up to the mountains the
boat rental company called and said that 
we were the only people that hadn’t cancelled
yet….so, they encouraged us to do that too!
We were already close to Helen so we 
decided to stop there! 
First we found “Christoff’s Caramel Corn 
and Coffee Shop”….it had a covered patio
deck overlooking the river. 
We got to hang out for awhile and them
Papa Ray, Kelli, Brian, Lydia,
and Hope met us and we grabbed lunch
downtown Helen.
Then we found a little hidden treasure…
A water park that was open on a rainy 
day! We practically had the place to ourselves!
There were no lines…we stayed for 5 hours
and had a great time! 
Cute cousin braids 
Cole kept up with the girls
and conquered all the water slides! 
We got to go over and over again! 
We got to celebrate Father’s Day
and Grandpa’s Bday downtown
Cartersville. We ate lunch at 
The Swheat Market. 
Then we went to Dillinger Park to
see where Grandpa goes on his daily
walks.  It was 90 + degrees….Cole
and Faith still wanted to race! Faith 
took a tumble! 
Happy Father’s Day Papa Ray! 
Happy 18th Anniversary!!!!
We got to go to Milton’s to celebrate! 
Yum! 
They had fried green tomatoes!
If a place has fried green tomatoes
it is usually good! 
Brandon had fried chicken.
I had scallops. 

We got to have a “Girl’s Night” at
Katie’s lakehouse on Lake Lanier!!

          We dropped off Milla at a friends and then got to 
           visit Brandon at work! He works close enough to
          walk to downtown Roswell! 
Diesel reminded us how much fun it is
