Spring Break!

So how did we start our Spring Break. . . well we started the week by taking a mini trip to Alabama for a few days to visit Juju, PopPop, and Grandma. But while we were there I wanted to take the girls to do something fun other than shop. So we went to Nocalula Falls in Gadsden. This was a favorite spot of mine when I was little. I am so glad we went. It was beautiful and so much fun.  But this time. . it was a lot more fun than what I remembered.  We got to ride the train, visit a petting zoo, and see the falls! The girls loved it all!  Their favorite part was the petting zoo.We saw all kinds of animals ( llamas, deer, goats. rams, snakes, rabbits, birds, peacocks, etc.)  They We were all amazed at how a deer ran right up to us to be petted.  it ran from across the field straight to us. Kylie wasn't real sure about it at first, but finally reached out and petted it. The llama loved to stare us right in the face.My girls know all about llamas thanks to Dora the Explorer-ha!

Here are some pictures of our trip. Enjoy.

Looking ahead to future posts. . .  .For those of you that know me, know that I inherited a "piddlin" gene from my dad and Daddy Jim. I am always painting something and fixing other things. Its what I love to do. I have taught myself how to install light fixtures, sink faucets, and paint all kinds of things using spray paint.  Now that I have a few extra minutes on my hands, I am working on a new project. I am almost finished with it.  I can tell you it is coming along better than I expected!  Pictures to be posted soon!
