Weekend at Callaway Gardens

So the Hossler and Timmis clans had a big weekend at Callaway. And by big I mean super packed with activities that both boys loved. A big thank you to Mamaw and Pawpaw for being such great troopers for the weekend and being so patient and loving with the boys. The first night we went to the hot air balloon festival and saw the balloon glow, which meant all of them lit up at the same time. We also took advantage of the free BBQ and Jacob enjoyed his first ice cream of the weekend with sprinkles, which he now feels is mandatory for all ice cream here on out. We started the weekend a little rocky after the first night, with Jacob having a meltdown after meltdown before we could even get to breakfast. Then, we preceded to go to breakfast and discover we were the there with our closest 100 other friends in the line for the not so good buffet (think sweaty eggs). But... after that things got much better (thank goodness). The next day we checked out Robin Lake and the boys did some golfing while Mamaw and I and the boys watched some US Open Action and then went to Robin lake for some bouncy thing action. Jacob had a ball and did all of the slides and inflatibles until his heart was content. Mommy felt a bit left out at first when he went right in without a look back, but he later invited mommy along too. Mommy also got to prove that she is not too old for back flips and did the bungy bounce which was a lot of fun. I felt like I was an an adult sized bouncer and I can see why Noah is a big fan. The next day Mark and I did the Callaway Triathlon. Mark had a rough go of it and could not finish due to big bike difficulties on the 2nd loop but we had fun doing it anyway. Afterwards, we did tie dye t shirts and finished out the evening with a nice meal, where Jacob had yet another helping of ice cream- chocolate this time (sorry daddy- no tastes this time). The last day we packed in the last bit of action and went to the beach and did paddle boats and the train for the last time. Whewww..... what a weekend. Home is going to seem so boring. We are so blessed to enjoy these times with the boys and everyone- they are so much fun and are so fascinated with all these new activities. Noah was so fun on the beach- he crawled right for the water and I think he would have just kept on going if we had let him. He has no fear :) So neat to see the world through a child's eyes again.
