Geitner Farm Fun

It's been a couple of years, but the Geitner Family Fun Weekend was back in action this year!  After Kinsey's horse show (and Max's morning at his Maddie's birthday party,) we headed up the mountains for some swimming, BBQ, and bluegrass fun.  We had a lovely spot to pitch our tent after the band broke down, right next to their house and the waterfall and it was a beautiful night to be outdoors.  Sunday mornings highlights were watching the kids swim on super-ponies, Pork Chop and Peanut and sliding down the rock for hours!  The best of all was hanging out with all of the family and watching the precious little cousins run around the farm in delight!  Love it!

Four Seasons Show

Kinsey's second show season is beginning to come to an end, with only 2 more shows until Finals.  She had a really good morning Saturday in a big show in Madison that was both local and state sanctioned.  She placed 3rd and 4th out of 12, only being beat by state ranked girls in the TRM and had a great run in Crossrail Hunter, barely edged out for Reserve Champ with a 2nd and two 3rd places.  Way to go guys!

Trouble A-brewing!

This is Max's new, um, "friend."  They are a bit obsessed with each other.  We are trying to encourage their friendship and not include any romantic tones with it, but geez, they are making it difficult.  He rode his bike to her house the other night (in his PJ's) to give her a pack of gummies.  Then tonight, she came over to play and brought him several pictures she had drawn, some of hearts that said "Once upon a time" across the top.  The even grabbed each other's hand as the walked into church tonight!  This cannot be good!!!

Happy Birthday Bryce-man!

Party number two of the weekend was another pool party, but this one had the bonus of having a firetruck at the pool.  The kids had a wonderful time celebrating the big THREE with our preciuos next door neighbor and his big red truck!  Love you guys!

Pool Party Weekend

So our weekend is looking up to be full of pool parties.  The first was at the Georgia Aquatic Center (a first for us) and was for Kinsey's friend, however, the mom was kind enough to invite Max to stay and play with the rest of the kids.  I think he had more fun than anyone else there!

B2S: 2012 Edition

Today marked the first day of third grade and kindergarten for Kinsey and Max.  It was a big day because they are now at the same school for the first time (and for three more years) AND Max got to ride Mr. John's big bus, that he has been anxiously waiting to ride for the past three years!  The both had wonderful first day and love their new teachers and their new after school program.

Best Buds!

Max has a new best friend!  He's always talked about lots of different friends at school, but this is the first one he talks about all the time!  :)  JR and Max are inseperable at church (thank goodness they will NOT be at the same school for elementary) and today they convinced us moms they just HAD to have a playdate.  So, JR came over for hot dogs, some Batman playtime, swimming at the pool, and some homemade ice cream with sprinkles--a boy's dream afternoon!  Thanks JR for being a great buddy!

Stone Mountain Camp Trip

We took a quick overnighter to Stone Mountain with the camper this weekend, but had BIG fun!  We spent all day at the park doing SkyHike, Geyser Towers, Yogi Bear 4D, Duck Boats, and of course the laser show.  We also enjoyed riding up to the top of the rock and I got the special treat of biking the 5-mile loop around the base of the rock with my newest biking buddy!  Fun times!
