Charapatas In Chattanooga Day 3

Chad's cousin Mitch drove here from Atlanta with a boat in tow so we could all enjoy a day out on the lake. Saturday was spent  out there with a trip downtown to dock it and go enjoy a late lunch and the water stairs. The kids were a little bored on the boat but mine loved getting in the River! They all even took a little snooze while we were out and no one tried to abandon ship... all in all, a GREAT day!

 cooking a very very late dinner after we got home! This girl loves her some noodles and is a big help in the kitchen!!

Here's our second day in pictures.... makes me tired just looking at them now! We packed it all in and it was awesome, the kids had such a great day and were still not tired until 11!

Lake Winnie, beating the heat with some Cheetos

 Carter loved all the rides this time!

the kids spent all of our down time at home in the garage riding the ride-ons. I would have roasted if someone made me stay in there.

 popsicles were a must!

Love this picture! Beautiful girl!

Poor Zack, getting attacked by the little ones

Pool time

Carter and Andrew's new favorite drink, Orange Crush

Look at that face! She's definitely a girl

All of the kids piled in Andrew's room for bed at night... then giggled and played until midnight!

Charapatas In Chattanooga Day 1

2 of Chads brothers, their wives and children and cousin Mitch came to stay with us this past week. Not only did they all drive 12 hrs here but they used their vacation time from work to come see US!!!!! We were super excited to have them here but couldn't have imagined just how much fun we were going to have!
