Miramar Beach, Florida

We are back from Florida. It was a short, but really good trip. We stayed in Miramar Beach. It is just about 4 miles from Destin. We stayed at the Sandestin Resort. It is a really nice place to stay. It is a huge complex. It takes up the bay and beach side of the road. The boys absolutely love the beach. It was Garrett's 6th or 7th time and Ty's 2nd. The gulf is so nice! It had been awhile since I had been to that side of the ocean.

Day 2

We stopped at the Bass Pro in Destin to let the boys see the giant shark. Ty was actually a little afraid of it...

Fudpucker's in Destin...Lots of kid stuff. Both boys fed alligators and played on the playground. I had awesome crab legs!

Day 3

We got complimentary bicycles during our stay and rode them one day. We rode all around the bay. Ty ended up not being happy, taking off his helmet and fighting with Garrett :)

Angler's Restaurant on Oskaloosa Island (and pier). Great restaurant, definitely recommend!

Saying bye to Sandestin...

Feeding some fish on the way out...

Painting Peacocks...

A few people from our Sunday School at church got together and did a painting class. It was so much fun! As you can see, we painted peacocks. Its something fun and different. I am definitely planning on doing it again!

South Georgia

The weekend of April 20th, we went down to south Georgia. If you have ever been to south Georgia, it is almost like a step back in time. Tons of agriculture, lots of 'famous' claims and no traffic!

Our first stop was Providence Canyon. It is a really neat place, but really neglected. I guess with budget cuts, they have just let me go. It is called the 'little Grand Canyon' of Georgia. It is actually caused by poor farming practices long ago.

Our second stop was George Bagby State Park even farther south. It was a super nice state park. We actually stayed at the lodge and really enjoyed it. David and Garrett took a canoe out on the lake (we later found out there are alligators in the lake, eek!).

Our last stop was Okefenokee Swamp in Waycross, GA. We had been once before, but I was 7 months pregnant and it was literally 100 degrees. It was still really hot that day, but much better.

These are actual wild, live alligators...

We took a boat ride through the swamp. David was pointing out a big alligator that apparently likes to charge the boat!

We started the ride in between storms and got absolutely soaked during the ride. This was when Garrett was happy and dry.

First Braves Game of the Year!

I am officially behind on blogging. Super, super busy lately. Between sick kids, traveling and just being busy, we have been BUSY!

We went to Opening Weekend at Turner Field. Garrett's pre-ball team got to walk the field. Only a few kids were able to make it. They had a good time. Garrett actually had a fever that whole day, but was a trooper.
