Magnolia Springs Field Trip

Lots and Lots of pictures hope you enjoy.
Monday we went on a field trip to Magnolia Springs in Millen Ga.
with our co-op group. We had a great time.These pictures
are seriously out of order.

Bridge going across to the Aquarium.



After most of the people on our trip had left a few of us stayed
around and went on a nature trail.


Some of the guys trying to get the alligator to come and visit us.


Waiting for the gator at the lake.


He came to visit us. I think he was looking for food.



The Forestry Service gave us a lesson on all the products that
are made from trees and the importance of trees.


Kids listening to the rangers.


Magnolia Springs was once a prison camp. It was the largest
in the world at the time but it was only used for six weeks.
All the prisoners died from sickness.


Everyone listening to another ranger about the history of
Magnolia Springs and the prison camp.


One of the many turtles that we saw in the spring . We also
saw a huge bass along with an alligator and a few other fish.


We had a fishing rodeo. It wasn't the best time of the day
for fishing but the kids enjoyed it anyway.

Everyone getting their poles.


Scott and the kiddos finding their fishing spot.


Settled in.




Cade decided the normal way doesn't work so he changed the rules!


Kids during the forestry presentation.



Our friend Liz and her kids Tamara, Kaley,Kyron, and Shawn
also came to our field trip. (Hope you enjoyed it!)


The boys looking at the fish in the aquarium.


Cade and his buddy (H) Ian were checking things out together.


Time to pet the alligator.


He was a little hissy.


We really enjoyed the trip and we were really happy that
Daddy was able to go with us. We can't wait for the pottery
painting coming up in December. We love our co-op friends.

Trick or Treat Smell My Feet......

Halloween



Halloween.



In the neighborhood.


Gathering candy.


The loot.


Just what Cade needs huh?



Yesterday was Halloween the kids and I went Trick or Treating
and since Scott was working my Daddy came down and handed out
our candy. We had made about 150 bags to hand out and they
were all gone by 8:20.



Bailey was a construction worker or as I called him
"Bailey the Builder."



Tyler was as he called it a "Dead Skater " to me he looked
like a bad skater that was very accident prone.

Lulu the Spider Princess.

Creative Punkin' Carving

We carved pumpkins today . (I know, I know..3 post in 1 day
Just trying to catch up.)



Cade and Morgan both found it to be pretty yucky to begin with.
Then they thought it was really cool.


They got really creative Tyler's pumpkins hair is made from
a dust mop and Morgan's Hannah Montanna is a mop head.


Here are the finished products up close Cade's has a big C
for Cade or Cockrell not a G for UGA.


Coming soon Halloween pictures.........

Cool Putt Putt

We went to Statesboro on Sunday to Hackers and played
Putt Putt. Daniel went with us. The kids had a ball and they
were completely worn out when we left because it was cool and
windy.



Tyler made a hole-in-one on the first hole. Unfortunatley his
luck did not continue this way.



Tyler and Daniel hanging out waiting for their turn.



Scott was a little in the rough (parking lot)on this one.


Morgan and I had a few issues with bushes and water. So,
Here we are looking for my ball that ended up in the bush.

Just a Normal Day at home

Field Trip

We recently went on a field trip to
The Bamboo Farms and Coastal Gardens.
This is about a third of the kids that were on the field trip.
We were split up into three groups.
We had a great time.
