more from nature camp

here are some more pictures from lela's adventures at nature camp last week. she is going again this week, but instead of learning about mammals she is learning about endangered species. how cool is that?

hey mom...meet my new friend

lela continues to tell me how much she loves nature camp. this afternoon i was informed that every july she wants to go. ok twist my arm, if you insist. one of the highlights at camp is getting their picture made with marigold. here is lela with marigold:


yes, marigold just happens to be an 11ft. albino burmese python that lives at cochran mill. as you can see our daughter is all smiles holding her new friend. i asked her if marigold was heavy and she said "mom, six people had to hold her up, what do think?" i think i can promise you i won't be touching that thing....ever!

nature camp and more

thought i'd drop by for a quick update on what's happening around here. lela is at nature camp this week and loving every minute of it. last night she told me she had so much fun. she got to touch a crocodile, lizard, snakes, and the list goes on and on. i have an agenda of everything they do each day and today they will hike through the woods, play in the creek and have a picnic while out exploring. i only wish they let us "big kids" come. she was so exhausted last night when i picked her up. she is gone from 9:00am to 3:00pm, so she stays busy.

mom is off this week from work, so she is hanging with me and lacey while we look for flower girl dresses. both girls will be in my cousin's wedding come september and lacey is beside herself with excitement at wearing a "beautiful dress." she was so cute yesterday as we scanned the racks for just the right dress; grinning from ear to ear when we would pull out a dress to show her.

kevin's grandmother is still in the hospital with not much improvement. so, we're just going on and doing what we do.
