Spring Break = Family Fun!!!

For SpRiNg BrEaK we spent a few days camping in our tent trailer in Pine Mountain, GA. This is one of our favorite places to visit every couple years because there's lots of fun things to do and sights to see!

A favorite scenic look-out between Pine Mtn. and Warm Springs.
Little White House in Warm Springs. Ali was SOOOO excited to go here since she just finished studying about FDR in school. She made Nate take pictures of everything!!

Ran and I at fountain at the Little White House.

Our kiddos at the fountain!



We also spent a day at Callaway Gardens, absolutely beautiful!!

On a ferry ride across the lake. This is always fun because you get to put your bikes on the ferry!

Rae was getting tired as we walked to the birds of prey show, so sweet Ali offered to carry her :)
If you look beyond them in the picture you can see Ran and Randee (pink shirt) holding hands! Soooo sweet!!

Outside the butterfly exhibit I spotted a few butterflies that I just had to bring home with me!


We biked all over the gardens; stopping along the way to picnic. The weather was just perfect!




We also went to a Wild Animal Safari.
Do any of these animals look familiar???





We rode on an old school bus that strangely resembled a zebra!
Yes, Ran is holding a piece of the food that we fed to the animals in his mouth.....so him ;)


I love this shot of Rae feeding a HUGE bull! She wanted to feed it yet had to close her eyes when it actually got to her!


Ali feeding an elk, not so scary.


Randee feeding a giraffe, cool!


Nate petting a giraffe, even cooler!!


It was such a fun trip!
(except Randee falling in the creek moments before leaving our camp site....she still can't laugh about it.....shhh!)
More great MeMoRiEs ~ that's what it's ALL about!!!

It looks like you guys had a great time! It is so nice to see "simple vacations" close to home can be so wonderful! Tell Randee that Sarah fell in a creek one time while we were in Vermont. She had gotten all dressed up for pictures and slid right into the creek before a picture was shot. She ran to the call and cried for about an hour. All the pictures I have of her that day are all "red-eyed"
