Far left a Mary Kate wanna-be investigator, next to her- a little one that wasn't feeling all that great but was a sweet little trooper, Granise, LDC, baby MAC who seems to be such a GOOD baby, Grandpa, next row up- another little trooper who was sick but put up nicely with his uncle and aunt taking over his bedroom and another little girl added in for the weekend, and finally the top row- Mary Kate's sidekick Ashley

Hiking in Hitchcock Woods

Off into the woods we recently went for a late afternoon hike...
(I know-I think it's funny that LDC is in the front of the group as well)
A whole lot of baby carriers, pregnant women, toddlers and detours around tempting mud puddles
Good times, good times.



The picture above is for Christy.  THANK you for a fun Jekyll get away weekend and for LDC's accessories!

Hairnets, a suitcase and flowers

A week in review- picture style.
The land of Publix...the produce department, meat, bakery, seafood and more
Sporting a hairnet for our behind the scenes field trip
Icing tasting at the bakery was the favorite for many (young and old) along with...
 
a special stop in the seafood department to check out Mr. Lobster and friends.
As soon as we got home we practiced techniques we saw in the bakery, on our fresh baked bread.
Quality control tasting before moving onto the jelly
A pro
Next up this past week- practicing being an explorer.
(Too bad I couldn't have her as my carry on instead of paying full price for a plane ticket.
Also- pretend you don't see the disaster zone in the background.)
Continuing on, Mardi Gras in Aiken with the Krewe of Colquitt
Andy accommodating specific requests for where they want their slice of King Cake to be cut from
And finally this week- LDC got her very first flowers from this sweet little boy...
28 months
