Road Trip #5... Getting Older...

I'm 30!! yeah... that's right - THIRTY!! Whoa! I'm not quite sure what to say about that...
My birthday was a couple of days ago, bu we were out of town, so we celebrated it when we got back home last night. My mom made her YUMMY strawberry cake - it's sooooo good!
This past week we were in Valdosta, GA at a conferece. One of the days, the family we were staying with took us to this cool park. At the park, you could walk through the wetlands on a boardwalk - it was so neat!
The boardwalk was super low to the ground, so we were really close to the Aligators! One tim, Adam made a sound and there were two gators there that flipped out and kind-of jumped out of the water! It scared us all a lile bit!
At the end of the walk way, there was a big tower you could climb up and see for miles! It was really cool!
Here we are on the tower :)
We've already had 5 road trips and 3 airplane trips... and the next road trip is this weekend... Man, I'm tired!!

Yeah it's hard for me to believe you're 30. I'm thinking time stopped back in Virginia 3 years ago! :) That boardwalk thing looks fun, but I'm not sure I would've been brave enough to walk that close to gators! -Emily

"Cool alligator! How'd they get SO close!?"-from Wesley and "You know!! Alligators kill people, bite people, and .....(you get the idea),...oh, can alligators climb?"-from Isaiah

Looks like fun. :) The strawberry cake looks great, while we made muffins this morning we were talking about how good strawberry cakes are!

Cooking!

Cooking is sooo much harder here. THis is how you "puree" vegetables when you don't have a blender or food processor (or power). Some people have those things, but most people don't. This is my friend Gita. She's mashing up some onions. It's a marble slab that's not polished and they use a big rounded rock and just roll/mash! It's cool!!

Protesting

There's some political stuff going on in our city (and now the country) right now. People are peacefully fighting against corruption. It's been very interesting to follow. Tonight there was some protesting in our neighborhood. Here are some more protesting pictures. There will probably be more protesting to come... we'll see what happens!

Funny Things 2 - American Fair Edition

We just got back from Roadtrip #8 in Macon, GA. It was an awesome trip!! So, before we head out on the next trip, we went to the North Florida Fair! The fair is always famous for it's fried foods... they fried everything!!... They had fried/breaded zucchini, Mushrooms, Broccoli, Cauliflower, Onions, green tomatoes, okra, pickles, etc :) I had a lot of it too - YUM! Now, I'd heard of fried Snickers & twinkies (which they had) but they also had FRIED OREOS & PEANUTBUTTER CUPS :) The fair was cool. They had a shark show and a sea lion show... but our favorite was the pig races :) haha!!! It was hilarious!! Aashini was close up to the race until the pigs came - then she crawled up into Adam's lap really fast :) (as seen below) :) Pig races! haha! Cracks me up!
