A stroll through the Gardens

October 23 - It was a beautiful day for a walk through the garden - that is The State Botanical Gardens of Georgia. If you note this tree behind Shellie is a lime tree. Wait a second, I thought they weren't suppose to grow here?! And there is even fruit on it... lots of it!!! Hum?! Grandma trekked right along!
Grandma taking a break to talk with Vicki.

Shellie & Jasen captured in the colorful setting.

A beautiful one in a beautiful place!

Jasen chill'n by a pond!

Now Jasen being silly with these brass statues!

Steve in front of one of his favorite tress - a well matured Japanese Maple!

Shellie, Jasen & Grandma under the Ginko trees.

What a shot of those Ginko trees.

This tree felt threatened and got Steve into a choke hold!

They have made their peace!

Jasen took this awesome shot of this cool couple!

Jasen & Shellie enjoying the moment!

This is not a marijuana forest, but several huge Japanese Maple trees!

Chill'n Walking back to the van! Believe it or not, grandma walked the whole way!!!

Still jumping!

October 23 - Finally caught some shots of Prestin jumping into the heavens! Going up!

Jumping for joy!

October 22 - Jasen's new toy! A 15' bundle of jumping joy! We finally found something to put on our huge deck! Actually the assembly wasn't hard, just took a bit of time. Here Shellie is at the very beginning.
Progressing well! The circle is complete.

Up on its legs!

Prestin tightens down some screws!

The top on, now what?The side enclosure is next!

Prestin!

Still working on the side!

Shellie tying down the mesh!

Jasen enters for the first go!

He doesn't quite know if he wants to jump.

It is a comfy top to chill on!

Jumping away!

Steve doing his jump thing! Shellie being reminded that this is a good work out!

Coincidently (?) as we were packing up, this hopper jumped into the box. This cute little tree frog was carefully placed in a safe place!
