Off to Atlanta!

We finally got to go to Atlanta to meet Caleb (my nee nephew) and visit Mary Katherine and Justin. Caleb was born at the end of September but we couldn't get our trip planned until now (end of October). We decided to break up the long car ride by stopping in Charlotte to see family. 

We left Raleigh on a Tuesday morning and drove to my parents house in Charlotte. 

I sat in the back to try and entertain the screamer (Reece). The kids did well in the car (Hailey is usually a great traveler) and they even both fell asleep for the lady 30 minutes! 

When we got to my parents house they had lots of energy to burn. We went to the neighborhood playground, played in the playroom, jumped on the "trampoline" (pool cover) and just spent time outside on such a beautiful day. 

But the highlight of our night was getting to

Go see Tucker play soccer!

It was Hailey's first sporting event! Ha! My mom kept Reece at her house so we could stay out past bedtime ;). Hailey had a great time eating chicken nuggets, cheering (which lasted all of 3 minutes) playing in the dirt, and playing with Mack. 

The next morning we got up bright and early to drive to Atlanta! It was a longer drive and the kids did pretty well. We stopped twice but we didn't want to waste any time because we were going to see Caleb! 

We were all SO excited to meet him! 

Reece did not like me holding him at all. But he was very curious of him. 

While we were there we visited the aquarium (more on that in a separate post) went to the park 

Painted toe nails 

And just hung out 

We even got to babysit Caleb one night. Hailey helped give him a bottle and was in heaven. 

Reece, not so much 

We were sad to leave after a few days but so glad we got to go. On our way home we stopped back in Charlotte to see Ryan's parents. We had a great time reading with Mimi 

Visiting with poppi and seeing Pawpaw. (Ryan's grandfather)

We had such a fun trip and can't wait to see everyone again soon!
