Swamp people!

My mom, Carter, and I loaded up early Saturday morning and headed to Waycross, GA to visit the famous...

Often imitated never duplicated...
Having a little lunch picnic at the park! 
Nothing like eating your lunch and having this gal pop out of nowhere. We later found out her name is Helga and she is preggo and due to lay her eggs in August.




Oscar's (see above) skeleton. Poor guy had horrible arthritis and broken bones. Alligators can live to be as old as 90.
We got to the Alligator oasis just in time for their lunch (see video below). My mom has a real queazy stomach so this was by far her least favorite part.

This cute little guy was quite the entertainer. He would swim, go down his slide, and do all sorts of tricks for tourist. I never realized how sociable otters are.

Visiting the Old Roy exhibit. Old Roy was there when I was a little girl and history says he was the quite the menace before being held in captivity to fisherman and their boats.


Gorgeous view from our boat ride. The tannic acid is what makes the water so dark. 


Touching a Rat Snake at the Nature show.
Baby alligator.
I decided to wear him on my head. Why not, my poor hair had already survived a rain shower..why not an alligator?
Soaking wet but we survived! Such a fun day!

Park Fun!

Spent Saturday playing at our favorite park! 

A little bit of rock climbing!


Enjoying the breeze on the swings! 


He made it half way up and decided rock climbing is not his thing.

Happy 4th!

We had a great 4th of July here in Atlanta hanging with friends, great food, great drinks (for adults), and of course fireworks! 

These two all decked out in their 4th gear! Proud American kiddos!

We visited the Veteran's memorial at the Gwinnett County Courthouse to honor those who have served. 
They had uniforms as far back as the Civil War on display. Lucky for them, they did not have the new Air Force ABU's and I have now donated a pair of mine for display for many to see.

Lots of 4th party dishes! I had the most fun making this one. 

Prettiest fireworks ever!
Hope everyone had a wonderful and safe 4th!

Babyland!!

My mom and I took the kiddos on an adventure to Babyland Hospital, home of the Cabbage Patch Kids, in Cleveland, GA.

Two excited kiddos (Layla looks a little unsure). This was before our departure.

We have arrived! This is a newer location. When I was a little girl, it was much smaller and on the main road.
Ready to see some CPK dolls!
Turns out, Layla saw a person dressed up as a CPD and she was over it from there. Poor thing hates anything in a costume.
Think I could have boxed them up and put their going rate? Haha!
The boy's nursery!
The famous tree! We even got to watch a live birth from the cabbage.

Watching the birth from Mother Cabbage. Got to love all the adult innuendoes thrown in there. They got to keep us entertained somehow.

Carter holding the newborn baby just born.
Layla cheered right up when she got to pick out her very own lookalike.

Beauty parlor fun!
The custome that scared Layla out of her mind! Of course Carter wanted a picture with it!
We survived Babyland! I remember when my mom took me as a little girl! What fun it was coming back with my very own kiddos!

Sunday sundaes!

Sundaes with sprinkles are always the best way to end a weekend!
