McGough Nature Park

Today we went to Mcgough Nature Park.(We call it turtle park.) They are trying to close the nature center and we are trying to keep it open! So today people could come and see how great the park is. We saw lots of wildlife during a walk through the trails, and also signed up for some fun activities. GO Turtle Park! The new "group" is called Friends of The Park.

The Swings

This was another one of Charlie's favorite. Every time he came around he did something different! :)

Busch Gardens

We have not been to Busch Gardens in quite a long time! It was extra special because our Dad went with us! We went on a VERY BUSY day. We did not know it, but it was public schools Physics Day!!!! It was crowded with middle schoolers! We still had a ton of fun. We spent most of our time in the new, Sesame Street World!

Charlie LOVED going on this little roller coaster. He is not able to go on the big ones yet...so this was a big deal to him. ( we went on this ride about 6 times.) I'm NOT kidding! :)

Boysenberries!

I felt like I was Laura Ingles picking these berries with our little summer bonnets on. :)

````I know my Mom already posted this pic, but it's just sooooooooo pretty!!!!

//................Yesterday we had a family nature walk to the park. It was a lot of fun. We brought a bucket along because deep in the woods, there is this huge boysenberry bush. We picked lots of them. They are really good! :)

A walk to the park

The beautiful weeds............................................<:>

A few days ago my family and I walked to Bonner Park. Which is only a 5 minute walk from our house.( including all the little stops we make.) We had a great time. We wanted to catch fiddler crabs but we had no luck. :( Instead we climbed on the boardwalk, found seashells, and gathered weeds...pretty weeds. :)

I love my family.

It was a fun day at Busch Gardens. Cooper and Daddy were gone, so the girls, and Charlie, decided to go to Busch Gardens. We saw Christmas on ice, which is really fun to watch. All of their Christmas decorations were up so I took LOTS of pictures. I would have done a slide show, but they are not working! We did many fun pics and poses...It was SOOOOOO cold!!!! Ava and I had knee high socks on. (I had leggings and knee high socks) Charlie and Ava both got to go on 2 rides they haven't been on before. Santa was at Busch Gardens and we LOVE Santa! Charlie asked for a trumpet... I know this has all been good news but time for some bad news: I am sick. I really don't want to be sick for Christmas so I am trying to wash my hands as much as possible. I don't get sick alot, but when I do... I REALLY get sick. It's all good :) I can't wait till Christmas!
