Rainy weekend in Georgia with the Turners

This past weekend our friends Sara and Joe made the trip down to visit us! After making it through the 9 hour car ride (they got stuck in traffic) with their son Ethan, they were ready to have a relaxing weekend. Well....

Saturday we woke up early, made breakfast and played with Ethan for a while then decided to head into Atlanta for lunch at Carolyn's, a sandwich place that Ky and I love. For some reason it was closed. Plan B was to go to Flip Burger, a yummy burger joint but the second Joe and I walked in we knew it wasn't good with a 40 minute line and not so baby friendly environment. Plan C & D were restaurants nearby that were also crowded with a line out the door. Plan E was to eat Willy's Mexican Restaurant that is less than 5 minutes from our house... hahaha now we know to skip Plans A-D and just go straight to E.
Oh did I mention Sara and I dressed like twins on accident:
It rained the rest of the day Saturday so we were held captive inside, but that didn't stop us from making some good meals and having a lot of fun playing Dominos that night.
We also played with Ethan in the bath tub to distract him a little bit before bed time:
Sunday we decided to be brave and try to go hiking up at Amicalola Falls. It's about an hour drive each way from our house -- up closer to the Georgia Mountains. By the time we got there the rain had stopped, but it was too cold for Ethan to do much hiking outside. Kyle and I even bought a poncho (that S&J liked to refer to as "a plastic bag") for Ethan & his carrier... hey at least it made for a hilarious picture.
We walked for maybe 5 minutes outside, saw the top of the waterfall and started the trek back home. We did stop at a BBQ place up there that literally had the nicest waitresses ever.
After we made it home, Sara and I had some girl talk while the boys went mountain biking and drove Levi around for a little bit.

Tyson did really well with Ethan, only growled/groaned a couple of times when Ethan would pull his hair. He was like "WHAT IS THIS THING"?
We ended the night with 2 rounds of scrabble... man we are addicted! Thank you guys for making the long haul down to visit us on a cold rainy weekend. We had a great time!
