Day 7 Just Hanging Out With the Family-Saturday (7-18-09)

Today is the last full day in Atlanta. Tomorrow we head to the beach!

It is a cool day, so we decided to go back to the park. Scott's parents have bought a kite and some water rockets for the kids and they need an open space to play with them. If you haven't been to Atlanta, it is covered with pine trees. My in-laws have a small front yard, but the sides and entire back are packed with tall pines. So, there is not much room and that is why we went to the park to play.

There was a breeze, but it came and went. Scott tried for what seemed like forever to get that kite to fly, but it wasn't having it. It would go up a little then nose dive to the ground. I know he was frustrated since another guy had his kite up for a while, but he kept at it. Finally, he gave up and we all played at the playground.

After the park, we decided to hit the near-by Mickey D's (as Malea likes to call it) and have a late lunch. We ate out on the picnic tables since it was such a wonderful day. After, we let the kids play on the indoor playground. Malea made a friend and Grace even went up by herself.

We started for home when my father-in-law realized he'd lost the keys to the house. He could not find them at McDonald's. We went to the house hoping the neighbor was home that had an extra key. She was not. We went back to the park to look there. My father-in-law was dropping money for the boys to "find" earlier and we thought he may have accidentally dropped it there. Yes he did! Thankfully we found the key and could go to the house.

We went back to the house and just hung out for the evening since it was our last night there for a few days and we wouldn't be staying long on the way back home.
