The first leg of our road trip was to visit Memom in Georgia. It's always a treasured time! The kids LOVE going to stay with her and we do too!
First road trip pit stop...Buccee's of course!
Harper brought Baby Hazel and her suitcase along for the ride. So sweet. Cousin Vivi had made Harper a Cinderella handkerchief doll that she brought for Hazel to snuggle with at night.
We made it to Memom's house!
Some serious doll conversations going on here.
We spent one Georgia evening at the local rodeo...we loved it! And it rained so hard, we were all soaking wet! So fun!
We spent a lot of our GA time in Aunt Laura and Uncle Tommy's pool. It's a beautiful place for some good family time!
Cousins are such a blast!
These kids had big hugs for Aunt Laura!
Special TV time with Memom. Memom loves on our Tot so well. Makes my heart swell!!!
One of the sweetest hours of our trip was worshiping alongside Memom at Bowdon Baptist Church. Bryan and I watched Memom study her Sunday school lesson on Saturday night and write out her offering check that night too. This is not a small task for her. She has macular degeneration and her eyesight is quickly leaving her. But that doesn't stop her from giving her tithe to the church, continuing to study God's Word, and live her life as independently as possible. She is awesome. And she continues to teach us about perseverance, strength from the Lord, and independence. She is a testimony of the might God we serve!
Every time I leave GA, it's more difficult to drive away. So much of my heart and childhood memories are in that small town. ...until next summer.
