Tracks answer

Grandma was right. It's Arthur, of course, trying to move the beach back into the ocean.

Tracks

Any guesses on what type of animal made these tracks on the beach?

GA Coast

We took a trip to the coast a couple of weekends ago.  Here we are at the beach on St. Simon's Island.

Stroller

Just Mommy getting a little Artsy Fartsy with pictures of the kid in the stroller.

GA Botanical Gardens

We visited Athens, GA a few weekends ago to see the state Botanical Gardens.  It rained a little, but we mostly had a sunny day.

This is one of Arthur's favorite activities.  He is moving rocks from the path into the plants.

Art's Art

Arthur is starting to figure out coloring. Here are a couple of his first attempts.

Tortoise visit

We got a chance to feed the tortoises at our zoo today. Two of the tortoises were very friendly. They let us pet them on the shell and neck and we got to feed them sweet potato.

The tortoises were between 50 and 100 years old and weighed over 500 pounds. We had a lot of fun.

Family Pictures

Here we all are on Long Lake just below the bunkhouse.

We made it for a ride on the fishing boat on Long Lake.

We could see the eagle from the boat

Secret recipe

Here is Arthur cooking with grandma.  They made her famous baked beans (from great-grandma's recipe.)

Hanging out with Grandpa

Watering the plants

Arthur helped grandma take care of all of the plants on her deck.  Mom stayed warm inside and took pictures.

Hayward Wilderness Walk

We spent a great day at the zoo in Hayward. 

Feeding Willow

And some of the animals.

Grandma and Grandpa duty

We put g and g to work while we were there.  Here they are doin' the duty.  Everyone mostly survived.

On the boat

Fishing with Grandpa

This was it.  First time out with Maddog's Fishing Guide Service. As promised, Arthur caught fish. The picture on the bottom is his second fish - the first fish is only on video.

Driving the boat

Beach baby

Here is Arthur checking out Silver Lake on Friday morning.

Car ride

After all the activity, Arthur was worn out for the rest of the car ride.

Interstate Park,MN

Here was our second stop along the road to grandma and grandpa's house.  This is Interstate Park along the St. Croix river. 

Checking out a pothole

Franconia Sculpture Park

We were away this past weekend to visit grandma and grandpa in Wisconsin.  Here is our first installment of pictures from the trip.  This was near the Minnesota/WI border, and we visited on our way back from the airport.  It is the Franconia Sculpture Park.  Grandpa won't go back - it was a little too modern for him.  But Art had fun exploring the art.
