Betsy and Jackie come to visit

For those who knew me as a young teenager on up, know that Betsy has been one of my very close friends for quite some time now. We have seen each other through many adventures in our crazy teenage days, we roomed in college for a short time and have been brides maids in each others weddings. Sadly, Betsy has lived in Michigan for about half of our friendship. Yet through the miles we have remained close. I was elated last week when Betsy and her wife, Jackie drove down to stay with us over Betsy's spring break. This was her first time meeting Boston and of course, he LOVED her. (what kid doesn't?) We had a lot of fun during their visit. We went to an Atlanta Braves Game, the GA Aquarium, a Gwinnett Braves Game and hosted a house party so that Betsy could catch up with friends she hadn't seen in a while. It was sad to see them go, but hopefully they will be back in November for Chris's 30th birthday bash extravaganza! Jackie, Chris, Betsy and Carey
Melissa brought these too-cute panda bear cup cakes to our house party. Can you believe she MADE them herself! Amazing! Martha Stewart would be so proud.

A "friendly" game of whiffle ball in our back yard. We love it! I should have taken a picture of both teams. Ooops. There was another team of people who played with us. (sorry to leave you out of the picture...Tina, Justin, Melissa, Nicole, Jonny, Jackie, Jeff, Keith, Shannon)

Betsy and Jackie at the Aquarium. Betsy had never been to an aquarium before, so this was a must on her trip to GA list.

You guys totally rolled out the red carpet for Betsy and Jackie! Keith and I had so much fun hanging out with you guys this weekend, and we weren't even there for half of the awesome stuff you all did! No wonder they're coming back so soon!
