Boy did we have some make up to do after such a disappointing end to our family fun weekend. Saturday morning I took the kids with me on my run, they rode their bikes, followed by playing LOTS of games. Then we took them Cosmic bowling in the afternoon.
Ashlyn has never been old enough to play when we've gone, boy we she excited to get in on the fun. We didn't even think about the fact that you get new shoes bowling - in her mind it was the highlight of the event! (Ever since she's been old enough to walk she's had a thing for shoes, going into a shoe store with her is CRAZY, whether we're shopping for her or not she has to try some on.) While putting mine on after I got her bowling shoes on, I look up to see....
Then we headed home to watch the U of O game (Go Ducks!) and put our tinfoil dinners on the grill, rather than in the camp fire.
Then since we had gotten ourselves substitutes for church already, we opted for a "Second Saturday" and headed out to Jekyll Island and hit the bike trails. We had done chunks of the north trail before, but this time Rick and I rented bikes and we all set out. 15 miles later with very sore rear-ends and me with scraped knees and hands (I wrecked) we were excited to report seeing 2 gators and a large buck on our excursion. We didn't realize that the south trail took you through the forest rather than following the road and beach like the north trail, so it was a lot of fun to go places that cars can't. The kids had fun crossing TONS of bridges to cross the marshes, streams and ponds. Next time ya'll come to visit we'll take ya riding if you're up for the challenge...don't worry if Blake can handle it, you'll be fine!

where is the pic of the gator that almost ate you?
I didn't get a picture of the one that I almost stepped on, but the other one that I did get a shot of was in the middle of the pond so it wasn't a "blog worthy" shot. I'll e-mail it to ya. :)
