Callaway Gardens

Donald, Emily, and I took a trip to Callaway Gardens last weekend and had a great time. We drove down after work on Friday and spent two nights there. Emily loved the butterfly center and had a great time at the etching station at the Discovery Center. She also met a great blue heron there named Elvis. So exciting! We spent most of one afternoon at the beach where we discovered Emily's future calling - Navy Seal! She liked to army crawl around in the shallow water. And by the way, in case any of you were wondering, paddleboating is a better theory than an actual practice. Better to just stay on the shore and laugh at all the other silly people sweating on the unshaded pond. Aside from freezing in the swimming pool on Sunday morning and occasional fits of three-year-old temper, we had a wonderful mini-vacation. Sorry about all the pictures, but I just couldn't make a decision!

She was a little nervous about so many things flying around

Having a snack and a Coke - she loves to drink from a bottle!

She asked for a picture with this purple flower - crazy for anything purple!

I love these beach pictures. Such a sweetie!
