From Greenville to Atlanta...




What a fun weekend we had to wrap up a great summer week. The kids and I spent almost every day at the pool this week and Jack took them to Vacation Bible School each night as well. They were BEAT! Friday night, we had a fun dinner out with the Griner clan followed by another good movie night in the basement watching Lemony Snickets. I personally still have to finish the movie since I fell asleep only a few moments into it! Bad habit I have!!!

Saturday, my dear friend from high school, Becca, had a baby shower in Greenville and since the annual Touch-a-Truck festival was going on there as well, we decided to pack up the whole crew and go to my hometown for the day. The three cousins had a great time climbing on everything from fire trucks and buses to boats and trolley cars. While I went to the baby shower and enjoyed the Brick Street Cafe's famous "Love Muffin," the rest of the Putman, Patrick and Pitmans went to lunch and played in some fountains to cool off.

Sunday, Max enjoyed some one-on-one time with his Nan and Granddaddy, while Jack and I took Kinsey to a special "pre-birthday" celebration in Atlanta. After a yummy lunch at my new favorite resaurant, Melton's App and Tapp, we met up with cousin Anna (and eventually Alex) at the Center for Puppetry Arts to see "The Little Pirate Mermaid." What amazing creativity!!! If you've never been, you really should try it. We will definitely be going back in the very near future. All of us really, really enjoyed the show and the puppet museum as well. On top of that, we got to make our own fish puppets (Max thanks Alex and Anna for making him one, too) at the create-a-puppet workshop.




Let the birthday festivities begin (or shall I say continue)... :)
