kampfirekim 260 Posted May 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Ok.... here we go!! Or rather here we still are. At the zoo. One of the main reasons lil H wanted to come to Jax Zoo.They have a Jaguar!And what self respecting Indiana Jones fan wouldn't really enjoy a Lost Temple?Not only do they have a Jaguar... they also have a Black Panther!I don't know what the heck this critter is but he sure deserved his moment in the not a trip report.The endangered species carousel.After we ate a burger lil H decided to pose for a photo with the statues.Gabe loves the aquatic animals. :)BRB... having technical difficulties.

Nicki aka Rebelstand 272 Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Those jaguars are a bit creepy...I am glad to see they made it off the endangered species carousel safely.Look at Lil H.... riding the geese/swans/ducks..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kampfirekim 260 Posted May 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 One thing lil H likes more than having his photo standing on giant rocks is....having his photo taken with animal statues at a zoo.The Chinese section.One of the little hidden play areas in the "forest"I could NOT believe that Gabe went throught this rope tunnel. You have no idea how much fear and sensory issues he had to over come to do this. :) I know there are more zoo photos but this was close to the end of the day and that's enough photos anyway. :)Today was Saturday... which means that the next day was Easter Sunday.Lil H was very concerned that the Easter Bunny wouldn't find them in the hay field but I assured him that I'd seen a few bunnies and they were probably his relatives so he shouldn't have a problem finding us. Yep! He found us!Now we're on our way to Church. Just because we're in a hay field doesn't mean we can ignore the Lord on Easter.As we were leaving I snapped a pic of the church we visited. Very nice people there. They were very welcoming and kind.Nothing says Easter Dinner like a good old fashioned southern Chinese Buffet. If it were Christmas I'd sing Fa ra ra ra ra... :rofl2:Yep. That's a mudbug on my plate. Almost back to the hayfield. Look! You can advertise! Of course only people in the hayfield will see it.I"m not sure why but lil H made us pose together with this bowl full of plastic eggs.coming up next...The Easter Egg Hunt, more kite flying, Paula Dean cake and the trip home.

I think snakes are creepy. Panthers are just plain scary.Very cool!!!Thanks Carol.You didn't try voting around that Black Panther, did you?He tried to intimidate me but KFK don't scare that easy. I voted twice.Yay!! More hay! Love the big cats.I love the big cats too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveInTN 3,247 Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 AWESOME update Kim!!First off...YAY for Gabe! That rope tunnel would present sensory issues to a typical child. He did great! You should be real happy about that!Secondly, good for you putting that cockroach crawfish on your plate! Personally I love the things, but they certainly can be a turnoff to a lot of people. Third comment....could that Coke glass BE any BIGGER?? :rofl2: Why do Chinese buffets feel the need to serve their beverages in 55 gallon drums? And lastly, the boys look very handsome in their ties. Where was Big H's tie?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kampfirekim 260 Posted May 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 The Easter Egg Hunt.I have to admit.... there is not a better place to hunt easter eggs than in a hay field. This may be my fave of Gabe. The egg is right beside him but he's distracted by the dandelions. :rofl2: :heart:Yay for H! He found the golden egg!Taking a little break with the boys and goofing around with the camera.And Olivia thinks HER hair is a beast! Mercy! :rofl2:I know that there was a huge debate over Paula Dean. I am pro-Paula Dean. And this next photo is just one of the many reasons why.More Kite Flying.I had a couple of photos of Gabe out flying kites with me but he wasn't decent so I can't share those. ;DOur time with Hayseed H had to come to an end. It was getting late afternoon and we needed to head for home so the boys could be rested for school on Monday. Time to travel back up the paved road that leads to the main road.I don't know what this is but it's one of the sights along the way.Irrigation system for the berry fields.Gabe has gotten very proficient at escaping his seatbelt so I occasionally have to pull over to put it back on him. This was one of those times.This little guy was doing all he could to hitch a ride home with us and honestly if I'd been sure he was healthy and had a safe way to take him with us...We would have had a little addition to the fam.If TCD can include cranes in his FW TRs then I can include them in my not a TR.The sun was now setting on our wonderful weekend at the hayfield....But luckily there was still enough light to capture this...Gotta love the south.Well that's all I got for now but I know that H has a few photos of hayfield wildlife. Maybe he'll share his photo of the alligator turtle he spotted. Or maybe the turkeys and deer. Until then..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Where was Big H's tie??Thanks dave. Yes, I was very proud of Dave. Those ropes are not a prob for lil H but Gabe generally won't go across anything that isn't steady under his feet (except for a trampoline, go figure). That was a big deal for him.I love crawfish. But they do look creepy and gross.Because the chinese love tea? just a thought. :rofl2:H didn't have a tie b/c he didn't pack on in the TT and I didn't think to bring one. The boys only had them b/c I bought them after I got there as the clothes I actually packed them looked crummy once I really thought about it. LOL. I thought they looked kinda cute wearing them. Surprisingly Gabe left his on! An Easter miracle! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stefa70 205 Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 Gee I'd wondered if you got lost in the hayfield. :clint:I love the carousel and would take those animals over silly Cinderella stuff any day!The boys look very handsome in their Easter outfits.It's great that ya'll are making the most of the hayfield, and spending time together as a family. :heart: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It was a great trip and Easter too. :)Gee I'd wondered if you got lost in the hayfield. :clint:I love the carousel and would take those animals over silly Cinderella stuff any day!The boys look very handsome in their Easter outfits.It's great that ya'll are making the most of the hayfield, and spending time together as a family. :heart:Hey Stef! I was just thinking today that I haven't seen ya in a while. What a coinkidink. ;DIt would be hard to get lost in the hayfield since is is one giant wide open space.... although I'm sure there are plenty of places in South GA that one could get lost. I don't think I am going to test that theory. (especially since they have snakes and gators and such) :bugeyes:Thanks about the boys. Not too bad for a desperate rush to Wal Mart for some Easter duds huh? :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
