Trip to Callaway Gardens

A couple of weeks ago, on July 5th, we drove down to Callaway Gardens for the day. I was amazed at how close it was - it only took us about an hour and 15 minutes. We did a little walking and let Millie ride her bicycle (which also worked well as a stroller). We ate lunch and then went to the beach area.

We all played in the water for a few minutes in the open area and then went over to the water adventure area where they have big water slides and water trampolines. Everyone strapped on a life vest and dove in. The big water slide was difficult, to say the least, to climb. But Millie went up (with our help) and she and I slid down the huge slide. We jumped on the trampoline for big kids and then went to the turtle trampoline that was her size. We played and swam around for about 30 minutes.

Then we went to the Florida State Univ. Flying Circus. We sat down on the floor (all the seats in the bleachers were taken). Millie got a little comfortable, then started twirling her hair and sucking her thumb. A few more acts into the show, and Millie was out! We wore her out. But she had lots of fun.
