July 24th was Scott Kelby’s 3rd Annual Worldwide Photowalk and the Haun family joined the Warner Robins DIPG for the excursion. We met in Juliette, GA (home of the famous Whistle Stop Cafe from “Fried Green Tomatoes“) and visited the old mill, the motorcycle museum, and the banks of the Ocmulgee River.
Each of us took a camera – even Trey. Here are some of Heidi and my photos from the walk. We’ll post Trey’s photos soon.
I can’t tell you how often this exact conversation goes down.
Trey: “Hi!”
Stranger: “Hi, what’s your name?”
Trey: “My name is Iron Man.”
Stranger: “Is that your real name?”
Trey: “Actually, no. My real name is Buzz.”
Stranger: “Buzz Lightyear?”
Daddy: “Trey,please tell them your real name.”
Trey: “Well, my real, real name is Trey. My other really, real name is Trey Haun.”
Now that we have a family membership to the Macon Museum of Arts & Sciences we’ve been a lot more often. It’s a great place to swing by if you have just 30 minutes or so to burn.
Last week we took Causey, Trey’s official “best buddy”, with us to the museum. Since Trey had already been a couple times, he took great pride being Causey’s tour guide.
We’ve been living in Macon for two years now so we’re way past due to join the local library. Our library isn’t a quaint little building surrounded by trees. No, this south Macon library is in a trashy strip mall next to the Dollar General and Food City.
Just like books though, you shouldn’t judge it by its cover – inside we found plenty of books, computers, and… ssshhh…. silence.
While I got a library card, Trey picked out his first two books (though the library’s limit is 50 books at a time, I limited him to just two). We came home with Dr. Seuss’ Yertle the Turtle & Other Short Stories, as well as slightly odd book about a family of bears singing “Jesus Loves Me” as they go about their day.
So I’ll leave you with a couple interesting facts I learned about Yertle the Turtle:
This past weekend I shot a motocross event for the Macon Centreplex and Heidi and Trey were able to come along. It was a tour sponsored by Yamaha that features stunts by BMX and dirt bike riders.
Heidi isn’t a big fan of motorcycles (due to the motorcycle trauma cases she deals with on a regular basis at the hospital) but Trey sure did love them. He did get a little nervous and covered his eyes when they started doing backflips!
We’ve had thunderstorms just about every afternoon this week. Here’s a clip from our fun in one of them. Be sure to listen for the “I like playing in the rain, Mommy! I like doing this!”
