A Day at Callaway

We went to visit my Meme and Pawpaw in Columbus, GA this past weekend. My Meme has been volunteering at Calaway Gardens in Pine Mountain, GA since the mid 80's and takes us there when we come to visit. This was Ava's first time. She loved the Day Butterfly Center. They had over 2500 butterflies while we were there.

She got so excited when she found one!

At the Sibley Center...lots of flowers...not her favorite.

She did enjoy this children's path.

At the Birds of Prey show...this is Vinney the Vulture.

Cuddle me up!

Ava wanted to play in her sleeping bag and said "Mom, cuddle me up, please." Sometimes she is just too cute!

"Tickle me!"

Beach...again

Michael and Ava got to go to the beach again this year at Santa Rosa Beach in Florida. They were attending Kathy's wedding. Just a few more photos to make me jealous. I'll post some of her flower girl duties when I get them. I hear she was hillarious. Michael said she was correcting some of the other kids when they said there was seaweed...she said "it's June Grass" very matter of factly. She absorbs everything!

Splash!

Ava and Michael spent the past week in Florida at Michael's sister's (Kathy) Wedding. I went to Greenville for my family reunion. We met back up in Tupelo for the splash showdown. Ava has a pretty decent splash for her age, but her daddy had to show her up and basically empty the pool! I missed my little Ava so much all week! She is becoming such a fish!
