Fairmount and football




We spent our Labor Day weekend visiting with Grandad and Kaki up in Fairmount. I love going to their home because it is always so relaxing being up in the country. Kaki spoils us with delicious meals and life is just a little slower when you're lounging in a rocking chair on the porch overlooking their view of the valley. And soon things will be even more relaxing up there as they are in the middle of putting in a pool as well as some remodeling and expansion on the house! It's going to be beautiful when they are through. Friday night we went out for Mexican food which was lots of fun and very yummy. On Saturday the boys started out the day with a dip in the hot tub! Then of course the day was filled with lots and lots of college football. Nicholas even fell asleep in Grandad's arms at one point while watching football. While the UGA game did not go as we had hoped, it was fun to watch the first game of the season and see Nick's craziness and excitement while watching the game. Graham has trained him well and Nicholas goes nuts for all things Bulldogs and was incredibly excited for the game. Nicholas filled the rest of his time by playing with their cars and trains that he loves and of course digging in the rocks outside (his favorite). Unfortunately, he ended things on a bad note on Sunday morning by "waking up on the wrong side of the crib" and having numerous tantrums as we were trying to eat breakfast, pack up and leave. He was having some cold symptoms and must have been worn out by all the fun of the weekend as I had to put him down for a nap as soon as we got home (2 hours early) and he slept for 4 hours.
It was a great weekend though and we can't wait to go back in just a few weeks to test out the new pool! Thanks Grandad and Kaki!!
(Somehow Kaki and I didn't make it into any pictures from the weekend! From the pictures it looks like a boys weekend.)
