We drove down to Georgia over Memorial Day weekend to help celebrate nephew Kyle’s high school graduation. We drove down for two days, stayed for two days, then two days to return home. The last time we were down there, Quinn was two months old! We loved being able to see everybody. Declan and Quinn were doted on by loving aunts, uncles, grandparents, and cousins! D keeps asking when we can go back…
Geo-caching along the way to help break up the drive. (Geo-caching is like looking for hidden treasure using our GPS and coordinates on a geo-caching website. People hide these boxes with little trinkets in them, and other people find them, put in a trinket of their own if they want to exchange for one in the box. They’re *everywhere*!)
We stopped at a quiet, mellow game farm on the way down, giving the kids a chance to run around and play outside. At the end, we did the drive-through safari experience, where we could feed the animals from our car. We discovered early on that llamas and ostriches/emus are kind of aggressive around getting the food, sticking their heads in the windows looking for more. One paced us, running alongside the car as we drove away. The whole thing was hysterical. Here’s Mike wondering if this creature is “friend” or “foe.”

A rollicking game of Go, Fish! with Kyle and Ian, using D’s new cards from Aunt Marsha, Uncle Steven, and Andy.

Soon after we came home, Mike turned 39. Again.
And, speaking of catching up with family, I went down to visit my very pregnant cousin Anna over the weekend to see her and her daughter Elizabeth (2 yrs.). She’s due any day now!
