Chase ~ My Jet Setter!!

As you probably know from previous post, my child likes to go, go, go...Her last day of school was May 29th and since that time she has been on the go!! Some of it has been going and spending the weekend with her Uncle and cousin in Hampton, GA and some of it has been spending the night with friends around Newnan. On June 7th, she left after her daddy's installation service to go spend the week with her brother & sister in law, Nathan & Hester in Cumming, GA (actually she was really going to spend time with her nephew & niece Jacob & Kinley, but don't tell Nathan & Hester). Chase was planning to be at their house Sunday thru Saturday but then she got a call from her good friend Brooke, who wanted her to go to Gatlinburg, TN with her and her family, Chase hated to leave Nathan and Hester's, but really wanted to go with Brooke!! (Hester likes to pick at Chase by saying that she just got a better offer!! heehee) I picked Chase up on Wednesday~Chase had a great time with Nathan, Hester, Jacob and Kinley and she can't wait to go and finish out her week with them soon!! One of the highlights of her visit was when Hester made some colored pancakes for breakfast, Chase was very impressed with these!!
Brooke's dad picked Chase up on Thursday to head to Gatlinburg, TN...Chase was a little surprised when she found out that Brooke's dad was her brother's ages and Brooke's grandparents were her dad's age!! We had a big laugh about that!! :) Chase had a great time in Gatlinburg and we are so grateful to Brooke's family for inviting Chase to come along!! Chase's big adventure and according to Brooke's dad the highlight of their trip...was when they all went tubing down a river and Chase lost hold of her tube and got caught in the current...I can laugh about this now because Chase is at home safe and sound, but apparently it was a little scary!! Chase got swept away and ended up going down 4 small waterfalls...Brooke's grandmother said Chase was her Hero!! Chase made it out with a few scratches, a couple of bruises and a great story to tell!! Chase's other excitement on her trip was finding a Coach purse for only $40...I know $40 is alot for a purse, but this purse is regularly about $250, so it was a great buy, not too mention Chase has been wanting a Coach purse for quite sometime :) They also rode the skylift in downtown Gatlinburg!! What a fun trip!! Chase came home Sunday evening and.....
Monday morning Brian & Gerie called to invite Chase to go to Six Flags with both of them and Billy...of course she was up and out of bed in a matter of minutes and dressed and ready to go!! She had a blast...when we have gone in the past...Tommy and I have begged and begged Chase just to try a roller coaster, but there was no talking her into it...Well, I don't know what Brian & Gerie did, but they convinced her!! And just as I suspected She LOVED it!! I knew she couldn't be our daughter without loving roller coasters!! Brian & Gerie got her on the Scream Machine, The Cyclone, and The Mindbender!! She said that she was saving the Batman and the Superman roller coaster to ride with Tommy and I when we all can go!! What a fun day spent with her brother and sister in law and nephew!! :) Thanks again for taking her she had such a good time!!



Billy liked Wonder Woman!!

What a great summer Chase has had so far...Hopefully we can keep her home long enough to enjoy sometime with us!! :)
