Almost every year since I was a child we load the family up and head down to Groton for a spring weekend. The past few years we have been lucky enough to have all of the Range family from Atlanta, Athens, and D.C.- What a great weekend!


While it was VERY hot, we did not skip a beat doing all the usual fun activities.

Soccer on the front lawn

Coloring on the porch,

watching the many gators from the dock,

and taking our daily truck rides to see all the animals. This was the first trip that Ryder really "got it". He loved every second of it all - mostly the riding in an open flatbed truck seeing deer, turtles, snakes, birds and sadly we saw no pigs this year.

He also got had his first experience at fishing. Uncle Jason caught 13 fish on Saturday! (note the sunset- bedtime was 10 pm everynight!)

Henry got to ring the dinner bell while Ryder and I took a break to soak up all the beauty.


We always end the trip with a group picture and hate to say goodbye.

But before we hit Atlanta, we had to stop at the Conyers carnival. Henry had never been to a carnival and could not get enough.

First time on the bumper cars too...

Thanks for a great weekend everyone!

We are exhausted and headed home. See you again next year!
