Daddy's Birthday Weekend

We celebrated Alex's birthday this past weekend by taking a weekend getaway. V.V. and Grumpa met us at the Lake. We had such a fun visit, and explored a bit of Middle Georgia while we were at it. On Saturday, we took a road trip to explore the towns of Athens and Madison. In Athens, Leah got to romp on the green with V.V., and see parts of the University of Georgia campus. She was so tired after playing and lunch, that she took a nap in the car on the way from Athens to Madison. She didn't have her sleepytime friends with her, so she gabbed onto Grumpa's finger, and fell asleep holding on to him!




Sunday, we stayed closer to home. We went to feed the ducks, and they finally came to eat! Leah had been 2 or 3 times before, and the ducks weren't ever hungry. We also saw some fish. They stole the bread that the ducks missed.



After visiting the ducks, we hit the playground. Leah had the place to herself, and had a ball running around and climbing all the way to the top. We spent Sunday afternoon around the house, enjoying the sunshine on the deck and dock. Leah exercised her imagination by feeding Jack "apples" (dead leaves), and "noodles" (pine needles). Amazingly, Jack found that game to be a lot of fun. He didn't actually eat any of Leah's goodies, but he would nibble on them and wag his little nub. Of course, no trip to the Lake would be complete without a little time on the dock. Buffett could spend hours out there sniffing the breeze.




We finished the birthday celebration with buffalo wings and V.V.'s famous birthday cake while we watched the Super Bowl. Leah's next few weeks are busy with every day happenings. Lucky girl, her V.V. will be back in just a few days, and Valentine's is around the corner!
