Our Little Firecracker

We spent Jake's first Fourth of July at the beach with Nanny Nette and PawPaw. We had dinner at Angelo's steakhouse and then watched tons of fireworks up and down the beach. While we saw many beautiful fireworks, the best little firecracker was with us.

Take Me Out To The Ballgame

Image
In true Kako fashion, Kako got tickets for Jake to go to his first Braves game. Daddy and Mommy got to tag along, but the night was all about Jake. He behaved like a big boy and lasted 5 complete innings plus the 1.5 hour rain delay. We were super proud of him and took lots of pictures to remember this special night. Jake's favorite part? It was a toss up between getting to throw the ball like a real pitcher (see below) and the cotton candy. Jake with Kako before the game. Notice the dark clouds. Daddy, Jake, and Lady Liberty (or Lady Brave?) Jake sliding down the big baseball. Jake and Daddy with the big American flag/ Braves hat display. The cutest baseball fan in the park. Jake wanted to throw the ball like a real pitcher. The guys who worked the booth were super patient with him and let him throw bunches of balls. He had a blast! He may be a major-league lefty pitcher one day.

Wild Animal Safari

We recently took the kids to the Wild Animal Safari in Pine Mountain. If you've never been, I highly recommend it. The kids were able to see, feed, and pet many unusual animals. Claire was much more adventurous than I expected and loved feeding the animals. Jake was a little more nervous. Jason loved it too, but I think he enjoyed being the driver of the 1980 van more. I apologize for all of the pictures, but it was hard to choose! Enjoy! The animals were sometimes too friendly. They loved the zebras! Jake being a little scared! What a tongue! Look at her expression! Claire sat in Daddy's lap to feed the longhorns. Jake sat in Daddy's lap to feed the camels. Check out that tongue! Jake just didn't know what to think.

The Zoo Trip

Monkey See, Monkey Do We took our little monkeys to the zoo! The kids were asked to pose for Pregnancy and Newborn Magazine. After the shoot, we headed to the Varsity and then the zoo. We wanted a special family fun day and that's exactly what we got! By the time we left, we had heard lots of giggles, lots of excited yells, and both kids were exhausted. Mom and Dad were too! Needless to say, we all had a blast and we plan on making this an annual trip! Our typical family shot...only one person looking at the camera. Sweet boy! Stealing a drink from Daddy's coke. Claire and Warren... our baby birds in a nest! Jake and Mommy Jake is climbing the fence like a big boy. The big black spot to his right is a gorilla! Fun on the carousel
