The Last Days of Summer

For the last days of summer, we had a weekend of few plans. But, as usual, it ended up being quite busy. On Friday, Steve and Ann celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary. We had drinks and dinner at one of our favorite restaurants, Seasons 52, and had a nightcap by shopping at Target on our way home. The next morning, Steve left the house at 4:30 to pick up Donovan to participate in another triathlon. He was attempting to redeem himself after his last performance. Even with his typical nervous swim, he ended up 4th in his age group. He is ready for another winter of swim lessons, preparing for next year's Half Ironman. On Sunday, we met the Shores at Stone Mountain.

When we arrived at the Stone Mountain playground, we were expecting the usual family atmosphere. Instead, we were surrounded by 6 inmates working the grounds and were a bit uneasy by their presence. However, once we saw Officer Bubba pictured above, armed with nothing and barely able to get up from his park bench, we felt much safer! (And yes, Steve had no qualms about walking up to strangers or even convicts, and taking their picture).

No, this isn't one of the convicts, however, sometimes...


Here's Abby with her friend Ariel. The picture looks cute, but actually, we had to separate them because Abby kept poking her and trying to pull her hair.

The 2 winners! Both managed to get the hole in one on the 18th hole.

Based on Jackson's putting form, we are not planning on a golf scholarship! But, the kids had a great time playing putt-putt with Isaac.

Wonder twins!
