Easter Pictures in the Park

We went to the Battlefield on Saturday, March 22, 2008 to take Kinsley's Easter Pictures. It was a wonderful day and very warm. I had to promise her we would play and ride her bike if she let me take some pictures of her. I have to bribe her to get some good shots! You do what you have to do - hehe!
Battlefield - Ft. Oglethorpe, GA




She kept looking under the bridge for the troll!














I can't take credit for this picture....Gregg has taken to picture taken as well....he got down in the creek to get this amazing shot!







We even saw people riding horses, which just made her day!

Atlanta Bound


Pack up and move out....Or at least pack tons of things for Kinsley for a 2 hour road trip! We decided the whole family would go down to Atlanta for the day to visit the zoo, Dave and Busters and then a bit of shopping. She did great....I hoped she would sleep after a big breakfast...but no! We stopped at the zoo first and had been almost 7 years since Gregg and I had been (right after we got married) but for the most part, it was the same...
We adore the Chattanooga Zoo, but the Atlanta Zoo has so much more and the different animals made Kinsley ecstatic! Of course, Kinsley not wanting her pictures taken!


She wanted to do it by herself



She really took in every sight and was so serious about it.


This was by far, her favorite. He even did a little mating call that sounded as if he had a fur ball...it was so loud and drew a crowd. She still goes around the house doing the lion sound! It was an amazing sight.

She took the easy way to walk around

Mommy and Baby...

That's probably the Dad....all laid out relaxing!



In a bird's nest


She saw this man and thought he was Santa....she freaked out and cried! It was hilarious...Luckily, the mad did not know what was going on...

OWLS!

She enjoyed a snack while watching the Owl...I was a bit worried that the OWL would fly up and get the snack from her....I'm always worried about something.


Ok, of all the people...I had to take Kinsley in the petting zoo - the one that does not even like animals! But, I have to admist they are growing on me. What I do for that little girl.


A little kangaroo...It truly is amazing seeing these animals!
We had a blast on the carousal.

On to Dave and Buster's. This is Gregg's favorite place to eat and play games. Well, we all love it really....
Now Kinsley has figured out she loves it too. With all the games, and the yummy food - it was a blast for the whole family.
She helped Poppa...but her Balls went everywhere!

She got obsessed with tickets. Had to have more and more...it was so cute...And when we started to turn them in - she was so excited....to get toys and candy with it.

She got this huge sucker and she ate it the whole way home...I thought she would sleep the whole way home - but no!

St. Patrick's Day

My little Irish Cutie! Of course, we love St. Patrick's Day....We have so much Green and White for Notre Dame....She went around saying GO IRISH...all day - but that is not anything different...she cheers like that often.

Building a New Play Ground Area

Kinsley is getting a new playground! YEAH! We make plans on how to make a playground and then get a swingset for Kinsley to use. We are outside a lot, so we wanted to make it nice for all of us to enjoy! She was so excited when we started working on the area to get it fixed up. We are so lucky that Gregg and her Poppa can do anything - and they knocked it out in a weekend. We even got new carpet for the porch, so I am so excited with all the progress!We head to Lowes.....She loved driving the cart!

Then we start clearing the area and getting it ready for a new playground area!


Gregg always gets the job done....with a bit of mumbling, but he gets the job done!

Now, phase 2....We get the swing set. We went on a Sunday to pick up the swing set...A great deal, with mulitple coupons - it was practically free (My favorite). I thought they would get to it during the week - I knew they had all worked so hard, I did not want to push it...I think they could not wait to see Miss. Priss' face because they got on it fast! A few hours, and it was done!

White we wait, Joe plays in Phase 1 of the new improvements...Kinsley loves her new sand table and playground.


I made some snacks to keep their strength while building the swing set...Kinsley was excited!

Kinsley could not wait, she started swinging, once the first swing was up.


And more swinging....

And more swinging....

And more swinging....

She was so happy and excited....Now we all know what we will be doing this summer!
