This week at Ben's school there was a Fun Run to raise money for the school. Ben ran and walked 35 laps...which is over 2 miles. I had one tired little boy that night!!!

Braves Game, August '09





We went to the Braves game in Atlanta. It was a night game which was really cool! Ben had a ball and got to eat all of the junk that he wanted to!

Summer Fun, 2009

Mom and dad are here for 2 weeks and these are pictures from two short trips that we took. We just got home from a great day at the beach at Tybee Island and a tour of Fort Pulaski. Ben in front of the Tybee Island Lighthouse



This is Ben's first official beach trip. He went for 4 days when he was 10 mos old, but since Michael and I don't like the beach, we only went out on the sand to take a picture. Today he had a blast playing in the water and getting sand all over his body!


Fort Pulaski was great. They had a cannon firing demonstration that Ben and dad watched from the roof. Even though this was a military fort, it didn't matter to Ben because he is part Pirate and Pirates have cannons too! There were also musket firing demos that were very interesting!

Last week we went to Dauset Trails. Ben found this Brer Rabbit house in one of the gardens. He insisted he get a picture with it.


Dauset Trails has many animals, but most were sleeping since we were there so early in the morning. This coyote was running around so fast that I didn't think that I would ever get a picture of him! All of their animals are native to the area and many are injured and can't be released into the wild.
