More Kamping with Keaton!

This past weekend we went to General Coffee State Park which is near Douglas, GA in Coffee County. It is about an hour from our house, and is a beautiful State Park! There are so many fun places to go camping that are so close to our house, so looks like we'll be able to vacation even with gas prices the way they are! Anyway, we had a beautiful campsite with moss-covered trees and a playground right behind our camper!!! YEA! And I had lots of fun as the "pirate captain" on our canoe ride around the lake. They even had a little farm with lots of animals, and I got to pet a baby goat. They had chickens just like Grammy has in her "Chicken Condo" which I can't wait to see :) We also went on a nature trail and I wanted to find a snake but unfortunately didn't see one. Mama said that was a great Mother's Day present to get to go camping with ME!!!

Ready to go camping again!

If you get this close to an alligator you better make sure he's in a glass tank!

What is this?


Pirate captain!







Eat too many hotdogs on your camping trip and this might happen....

Preschool Fishing Trip!

We are doing lots of fun things now at my school since we are celebrating the end of the year! Last Friday we went out to Paradise Lakes (near my house!) and went fishing. It was lots of fun, and my Mama and Daddy and the other parents came and joined us. I didn't catch a fish, :( , but I still had a great time!




Grammy and G-Daddy

My Grammy and G-Daddy came to see me the first weekend in May! We had a great time, and when Mama brought out Daddy's banana pudding (his favorite) and put it in front of him, I started singing happy birthday to him! I figured that's what happened when you got a big dessert put in front of you!!! Happy early Birthday, G-Daddy! We had a great time at the Love Affair Arts Festival downtown - I love you Grammy and G-Daddy!










With Ms. Marlene!

This is a pretty picture of my Grammy and G-Daddy in New Zealand! They are "world travelers" now since I think G-Daddy wins every trip there is to win with the Edward Jones Company!!

More Kamping with Keaton!

On April 19-22 (Spring Break!) we enjoyed a trip to St. Andrews National Park in Panama City, Florida! We had lots of fun with our friends the Matthews, Lawson, and Alexander families, and camped right next to the Matthews family at the Park.

We had so much fun at the beach, playing PIRATE PUTT PUTT (one time I got confused and called it "Golf Golf" - and I got a hole-in-one!) Eating at The Boatyard was a lot of fun because they had a pirate ship anchored right next to it and I got to see it up close.

Daddy went scuba-diving with Mr. Dan and Mr. Chad...and Mama enjoyed riding her bicycle around the park and going shopping one afternoon. We had a great trip and can't wait until our next camping trip next month!


Our friends Dawn and Ken from West Point, MS were in Panama City at the same time we were! We had a great time visiting with them and catching up!

My Pre-K Program!

I was a very special part of our class program at the Tift County PreK Center! It was held on Friday, April 18 and we did songs and skits including the Alphabet Song (I was "I is for Igloo!!"), Old MacDonald, Five Little Monkeys, and the Three Little Pigs! Guess what - I was the BIG BAD WOLF!!! I did a great job, and of course Mama and Daddy were soooooo proud of me!

Peter Pan!

Mama and I went to see the Tifton High School Blue Masques' performance of PETER PAN! I wanted to sit on the front row, so we did, and I loved every minute of it, especially when Peter Pan flew across the stage! I think I might want to be in a play sometime.........


Captain Hook is a GIRL???!!!! I was a little bothered by that! Mama told me that she was playing the role of Captain Hook, who is a man, but I don't think I get it.



PETER PAN!!! He sure is pretty :)



WENDY!!!!!!!



Tinkerbell (who was very jealous of Wendy!) and the alligator who swallowed a clock!

Kamping with Keaton

The last weekend in March was our first time out with our new camper and we had a wonderful time at Laura S. Walker State Park near Waycross, GA!!! We couldn't have picked a better place to go on our first trip. The park was beautiful, spacious, and overlooked a lovely lake. Mama and Daddy took turns biking the nature trail across from the park entrance, and Daddy went on Saturday to play on the golfcourse and I played on the BIG PLAYGROUND! Mama had fun fixing our meals in the kitchen, but of course one night we roasted hotdogs and had s'mores (isn't that what you are supposed to do on a camping trip?!) We took Georgia May, the camping dog,with us! I had fun playing with the "neighbor kids" in the campground. We CAN'T WAIT to go again!!! Our next trip will be in two weeks to Panama City, FL with some friends who will have their camper there, too.

Our campsite - Mama has already bought a cute tablecloth for our picnic table for future trips - but no Christmas lights (YET!)
