Calloway Gardens


December 26, 2010
We went to Calloway Gardens with Grama Sam and Sonny. It was also the day it snowed at our house. Very little snow but none the less we could make at least one snow ball.

The girls excited
Blake pouting!
Alexis trying to stay warm


So as you see we have on our heaviest jackets that we own. It was 19 degrees with a wind chill of about 8 degrees. We were about to travel on a open air train trolley through Callaway Gardens about a 1 hour ride. Can we say FREEZING! We had a ball, It was very beautiful but we were frozen. There are no pictures of the lights, just too cold!!

Christmas Day!
