Athens Botanical Gardens













Bradley was watching a helicopter fly over us.
(turns out some guy had murdered his girlfriend and was on the run...
they thought he might be on a golf course up the road from the gardens.
He was actually in Oglethorpe county committing suicide.) We didn't know this while
we were at the gardens...I probably would have left!



I recently took the kids to the Botanical Gardens...just to get out of the house...and it's free! We ended up having a great time. Sometimes it just doesn't take much to entertain us. The kids loved the many gardens of flowers, trees and plants, and "mazes" that ran through them. There were tons of walking and hiking trails along with little streams and even a huge stone world replica that moved over water. We definitely want to take daddy back to do even more exploring. I tried to get a few good pictures while I was there, but it seems like someone's always looking in a different direction. It was a fun afternoon!

Bostwick Days 2009




















We recently participated in the Bostwick Days Parade and had a great time even though it was just us. We were missing the Dukes, Carters and Mazzawis. Trent took his first wagon ride, and like everything else, took it in stride. Rach and Brad were so excited about riding in the wagon with papa. Rachel couldn't take her eyes off the teenage girls riding horses behind us. She wants to take horseback riding lessons very badly! Anyway, the weather was nice and we had fun although we left after the parade.

Scary Teeth!




Do you think it's time we took the kids to the dentist????

I like big butts and I cannot lie...




...but only when they belong to my precious baby boy!
(Please don't be offended, I'm snagging lyrics from Sir Mixalot.)
