Mother's Day Weekend

What a wonderful Mother's Day Weekend! My parents came up to watch Nicholas play t-ball on Saturday. He loved having an audience...a little too much. He took a little too much time walking to home plate to bat because he was smiling and posing the whole way!

Unfortunately, my parents had to leave Saturday night (after a yummy dinner at Dreamland) so they missed our Mother's Day adventure. This is something I started when Nicholas was one. Instead of taking time for myself on Mother's Day, I choose to send the day with the reason I get to celebrate Mother's Day. We call them our Mother's Day adventure. I still choose the adventures until they are old enough to decide where they want to go. I hope this is something we will continue for years to come. I have come to cherish our adventure days.

This year we headed to the Yellow River Game Ranch in Atlanta. It was awesome. They had everything from chickens and ducks, to deer and bears, to cougars and buffalo. The deer were so tame that you could walk right up to them and feed them. I highly recommend this place. Nicholas ran through the whole thing in amazement at the animals. Nolan takes everything in a little more slowly. He likes to stop and enjoy it....a lot like his dad and Nicholas is a lot like me :) My little Nolan loves animals. I wouldn't be surprised if he decided to be a vet one day. He is so sweet and gentle with every animal he meets.
