baby weight loss program | Fall Break 2015 Tallahassee Jr Museum

baby weight loss program

On the second day of our Florida trip, my niece, Izzy, went to school for a field trip to visit the Tallahassee Fire Department. 

My mom and sister took Levi and Jack to the fire station while my brother, Isaac and I had a lazy morning at the house.

When they came home from their outing, we packed snacks and a light lunch to take with us to the Tallahassee Museum (it was called the Jr. Museum when my brother-in-law was growing up).

The Tallahassee Museum is an outdoor museum that feels more like a mini zoo than a museum. Set on 52 acres of natural flora and fauna, it is a living exhibit of Floridas wildlife. 

You can explore the Wildlife Florida section by wandering down nature trails and boardwalks which take you through various gardens and animal habitats that are native to the region.

At the beginning of our walk my mom commented that she smelled a skunk. As we circled back through the Wildlife section we discovered an area that did indeed house a skunk! 

As you walk through the wildlife section you will notice large metal sculptures of dinosaurs nestled into the habitat. The collection was created by Jim Gary in 1979; and after exhibiting around the world, it now resides at the Tallahassee Museum where it provides an element of whimsy to the natural environment. 

In addition to the native animals, there is a section of the Museum called Big Bend Farmstead that is dedicated to showing how rural farmers lived in the 1880s. Here you can view livestock and get a glimpse of how rural farmers spent their days.

If you have the time, you should try the Tree Top Adventures Ropes Course. As you walk through the Museum you will notice the ropes course in the tree canopy above you. 

We were unable to do this adventure on this particular trip because you have to wear close-toed shoes and we were all in sandals. We hope to come back and see the habitats from above! 

There is a childrens ropes course (ages 3+) and two different courses for adults. As you walk through the Museum you can see all of the platforms above you and watch as people zip line between trees. 

At the end of our trip we stopped at the playground for lunch and to let our kiddos play. On more than one occasion one of our boys would yell, "Hey! Theres someone flying [on a zip line] over that building!"

The museum has been an iconic Tallahassee landmark for more than 50 years and is ranked as one of Florida’s top museums. We enjoyed our afternoon there and hope to return to do the ropes course in the future.

baby weight loss percentage | Fall Break 2015 St George Island

baby weight loss percentage

On our final full day in Florida, we all agreed that we should go to the beach. St. George Island is located about two hours from Tallahassee, and the drive along the Forgotten Coast was serene and beautiful.

En route to St. George we made a stop for lunch at the Red Pirate Grill for fried fish and oysters. Jack was a little disappointed that he didnt get a corn dog, but managed to devour his fish platter anyway.

 

After our fill of seafood, we took the long bridge across the bay and made our way to the State Park at the end of the barrier island. On the way we passed miles and miles of undeveloped beaches.

St. George Island is a little slice of paradise sandwiched between the Gulf of Mexico and the Apalachicola Bay, with very little development other than beach houses.

I think it would be amazing to come back and camp here, just for a view of the stars at night. The lack of development in the area means no light pollution and pristine skies.

One surprising thing were the number of Monarch butterflies. Evidently it was the right time of year for the butterfly migration to the Gulf and they were everywhere! I loved how much wildlife we were able to see during the course of our week in Florida!

As expected, my sister came prepared with an umbrella and camp chairs for everyone (I am the sibling that tends to fly by the seat of my pants, my sister is the one who is always prepared for everything and our brother is along for the ride). In addition to seating, she had snacks. You always have to have snacks with kiddos in tow.

The kids had an absolute blast running in and out of the water, attempting to boogie board and helping their Uncle Mark build a sand castle. It was a beautiful day to be at the beach.

The water was a little on the cool side and we teased our Canadian mother for not wanting to go under water because it was too cold! After a little teasing about the Gulf of Mexico being too chilly for her, she was brave and took the plunge. I on the other hand, did not :)

Of course Isaac just chilled in the shade, even managing a nap (what he seems to do best). We have also discovered that our Camelbak water bottles are his favorite thing to chew on to soothe him as he teethes.

After the sand castles had been built (and stomped on) we decided to head home. It was 5 oclock and we had a two hour drive back to Tallahassee so we decided to stop at Aunt Ebbys, a local ice cream shop, to help stave off our starving kiddos. Ice cream is always a good idea, especially at the beach!

It was a wonderful end to our Fall Break and visit to Florida. We had such a lovely week and had a great time doing lots of fun things with loved ones. Jack especially loved getting to ride everywhere with his cousins in their van – he seemed so grown up on this trip!

Until next year...

baby weight loss reasons | Fingerprints Are Everywhere

baby weight loss reasons

Kids say the darnedest thing and our Jack is no exception.

After church and preschool, he always tells us comical things [he doesnt realize they are comical].

He is sure that there is a Johnny Appleseed blessing AND a super heroes blessing.

He likes to sing: Read your bible, pray every day and youll shrink, shrink, shrink [supposed to be grow, grow, grow].

And recently he told me that fingerprints were everywhere. I filled in the blank and asked if he meant that Gods fingerprints were everywhere, and he agreed that I was right.

Sometimes his view of the world provides comic relief to our day – anyone else struggling with kid bedtimes lasting for-ev-er? But often I get reminders to slow down and look at the world around me. To see things as he sees them. Reminders that [Gods] fingerprints really are everywhere.

It reminds me to breathe in the cooler autumn air as deeply as I can. To relish the last days of green shade from our trees before the colors start changing to brilliant hues and the leaves start dropping. I am reminded to really see others and not focus on myself so much. Im thankful that I can look up and see Gods fingerprints, especially on the harder days.
