Vacation - Stop 1, Leeds, AL

We decided to take our family vacation in April this year. This way we would have no travel issues with the baby's due date, and we could avoid all crowds. First stop was Birmingham, AL to see my family. Unfortunately, I was the absolute worst at picture taking this trip. I just never seemed to have the camera in a convenient location - like with me. Here are a few highlights.

Bass Pro Shop in Leeds, AL. You cannot tell by this picture, but Ian was terrified of this bear. I tried to get him to stand in front of it so that it would look like the bear had his paw on his shoulder. It totally freaked him out!

Ava cannot be left out. She was infatuated with his claws.

The Goat-a-rosa! Several DeShazo relatives all live side by side on DeShazo lane. We joke that it's the family commune, for there are five houses and another being built there. An uncle has a couple acres designated to goats and a horse that thinks it's a goat. The morning highlight was to feed them.

This is a VERY big step for Miss Ava. As I've mentioned before, she is very curious about animals, however, she is always very fearful of them in close proximity.
