Georgia on My Mind...

First off, I think it is fair to say that GA has the coolest state song ever. Although "Home Means Nevada" will always have a special place in my heart thanks to Nate Mack Monday mornings. Here are some more wonderful things that we encountered during our Christmas trip to the great southern state of Georgia:




Cameron's parents and brother Connor who we love and loved spending time with for the week we were there. They are currently serving as presidents of the GA Atlanta North Mission.



The Yellow River Game Ranch, a.k.a. Redneck Petting Zoo. Deer were running up to us to be fed and petted. There were bears, sheep, chickens, bison, mountain lions, peacocks, donkeys, raccoons, goats, ducks, foxes and much more including this guy:



The MONSTER PIG! The picture does not do him justice. He charged us at full speed for food, which was very slow due to his obesity, but he was ferocious. Hudson wouldn't go within 10 feet of him. He still makes me happy just looking at the picture.



We also visited Stone Mountain on a beautiful, overcast day. We had the grounds to ourselves since it was Christmas Eve.



Christmas! Most notably Sawyer's first Christmas. He carried around two jingle bells the whole time to show his festivity.



We also got to spend time with the Cotterell cousins who came the day after Christmas. We spent our last full day there with everyone in Atlanta at Coke World...



...and the aquarium, which was amazing. The boys loved the sea life.



And last but not least...this beautiful display adorning someone's yard. I was hoping to see some good cliché southern yard decorations and this fit the bill.
