At the end of the month we went to Callaway Gardens, a beautiful park of golf courses, ziplines, greenhouses, lakes, and nature walks. The rain stayed away for us, and we filled the first day with lots of walking, from the Butterfly house (the picture is Nick in the chair pretending to be a flower so a butterfly will land on him), to feeding fish (and hence feeding the heron), seeing a wildlife show about owls and falcons, and lots of impressive gardens. The first day wore out our feet, and we rented a golf cart on the second day to see the rest of the park. Our hotel looked like a Howard Johnson from the 1960's still awaiting renovation, but it worked for one night. We also toured the vacation home of Franklin Roosevelt, which didn't interest Nick much, but it was very cool. All this was just an hour from Newnan, GA.
The rest of the time Brandi keeps him busy, from swimming, to piano, to Spanish classes. And she's a part-time librarian at his school. The teacher is still adjusting to Nick, as he pushed buttons often... she makes rules, he figures out how to get around them. Give him cards to 'cash in' when he wants to ask questions, and he's going to use them all. He has a great ear for piano. And he's passed his first swimming class, now able to swim multiple strokes and dive.
And you'll see, he's learned how to photo-bomb.
