Babies Everywhere!

You can tell it's Spring in our neck of the woods, we have new babies everywhere...well everywhere except THERE!! No more babies for me :)

We have puppies, most have been rehomed, we have kittens with only one tough survivor out of the 3 she had..that was a sad experience for the kids, and now we have baby chicks..barred rocks to be exact!!  I am so excited about the chicks, I can't wait to have fresh eggs once again.  I love going out and getting fresh eggs, nothing better!

Spring Break at the Springs!!

Otter Springs to be exact!  This is a spring about 3.5 hrs from our home, in the woods near the banks of the Suwanee River.  I love this place and feel so lucky to have found it, lots of woods, peace and quiet (until Fri and Sat pm), other campers and a nice clean pool to boot! 
There are so many springs to chose from in this area that I know we can't visit them all, but we can sure try!  The kids and I went up Wednesday, got settled into the camper, went shopping for food, tubes, masks and snorkels...then spent the next 2 days in the water. Friday night we had a big surprise the hubby/daddy joined us and spent the next day in the cold water with us!!  It was a much needed break from school and work..but now things are back to normal.  Can't wait for summer May 25th is the last day of school for my kids, and it can't get here quick enough!!

This is my beautiful baby soaking up the sun!!

My youngest ones loving it!

Yup, even I enjoyed the nice crisp 72 degree water!

What have I done?

Omg, what have I done? This was my first thought when I saw the pool. You see I thought I would make my family so happy with a nice new above ground pool. So I purchased a pretty nice one, 18' x 52" deep, a good sized pool for us good sized folks. However I forgot one huge detail.....we don't have city water, our water comes from a nice irony well, yes that means lovely orange water instead of crystal clear water. So here we are a week and a half into this and maybe, just maybe we are getting somewhere. I will keep posting about our pretty pool, but for now I will leave you with a nice visual!
