Montgomery Zoo

I know I'm slow - but here is what we did almost a week ago....the Montgomery Zoo. They were having their "Mayfest", a fund raiser for a MAGNET school up there. (Its like a high school - but all performing arts) All the students from the different departments had games they were in charge of and we bought tickets (5 for a $1) and they got a prize each time. A good day to go - because the zoo wasn't that big, and this added time that we spent in the zoo, so for the hour drive - worth the trip.

White Tiger and Elephants

Face Painting

Braxton loves Zebras, just not creepy men dressed us as one.

The ride home

All the crap that $6 could get you.

Note - the whoopee cushion popped after the 1st use....thank you Merrill.

Bless You

Braxton and Merrick say the prayer every morning, noon, and night - if you have ever been with us at a meal you know I mean that the BOTH say it....at the same time. It has gotten to the point that neither Merrill or I have to help - Braxton helps Merrick. Its always the same thing - bless the food, we are thankful for this day, "bless the gospel". Last night Braxton had been watching Noggin right before we had dinner. So this is kinda how it went:

Please bless that I can watch more noggin after dinner,and bless Steve to figure out Blues Clues, and bless Diego who lives on Noggin.

Merrill and I had to keep looking at each other to see who would crack first....but we both held it together.

Savannah - Last

Saturday night we met up with Sean and his family one more time for dinner at D&B Burgers - a local place where you can get a 1/4 lb burger all the was up to a 3 lb. burger, and fix it up with what ever you could ever want on it. Got a picture of Merrill and Sean - so we have proof that they saw each other. Keep in mind it has been about 6 years since they saw each other last.

Some really big steps.

Sunday before doing the drive home, we walked around downtown Savannah. So cool. There are lots of blocks that are just mini parks - Squares. And each one is named for someone in history. Saw the big cemetery and tried to explain to the boys that we don't run and yell - people are buried here! but they didn't get it.

Gotta see the Paula Deen place - The Lady and Sons!

(we didnt eat there, just got a shirt)

Maddie with Sophie at the hotel (this is 2/3 of the girl cousins!)

White Devil?

Matching Matching?

maybe - maybe not. she is a little too sweet.

Savannah - P4

Jenn and Josh had been here and liked it a lot and wanted to show their kids....so we went to Fort Pulaski. Very good idea. Lots of open space for the kids to run around it. And it had a mote! With alligator and jelly fish(I only got a picture of the alligator)! Really neat - lots of cannons and nooks and crannies for the kids to check out. Check out the website for all the cool info. Well worth the $3 a person!

ALLIGATOR!!! (We all thought Aiden was lying)

But he was not!

We never did figure what was on Gabes face...
