July 21, 2012- Day 7 in Alpharetta, Georgia

Today we started driving part of the way back and stopped in Alpharetta, Georgia (just Northof Atlanta).  We decided to make this a special stop for Kaylyn since her birthday is on the 31st.  We checked into the hotel and then headed to the American Girl boutique & bistro.  We had dinner reservations at 6:00 pm and we made Kanani a hair appointment to get it back to her original hairstyle.  We also got McKenna and Kanani's ears pierced.  For dinner, Kaylyn had pretzel bites and spaghetti with meatballs, Ashlyn had chicken noodle soup and salmon, Jason had artichoke dip and salmon, and I had fruit & yogurt and a yummy salad with chicken.  We then walked over to Starbucks and got a coffee for Jason and I and a hot chocolate and cake pop for Ashlyn.

July 20, 2012- Day 6 in Springville, Tennessee

Today was another lazy day around the resort.  Kara and I (mainly Kara) organized a volleyball tournament.  While playing in the finals, a horrible lightning storm hit, so we had to call it quits.  Later, after dinner, we ended up going down and playing some more volleyball for fun, but it was getting dark and the sand was wet and kept sticking to the ball.  It was a lot of fun playing, but I'm really sore today from playing it in the sand and more than two games.  Here are some cool action shots (note:  I shot pictures the first round, and while I was playing, Jason was taking pics...so there's not many pics when I was playing).

Will post other videos when I get a chance to upload them.  This one took 24 hours with the connection I had with the wifi!

July 19- Day 5 at Springville

Today we just hung out at the resort.  Barb did some face painting and Wai-gong took the boat out all day on multiple trips, giving all the people a turn to either wake board or knee board.  Kaylyn  & Ashlyn went swimming during this waiting patiently and on Wai-gong's final run, the girls finally got their turn.  They had a lot of fun and I will post video of them knee boarding when able to!  Tonight's dinner was Mexican and was so yummy.
