Nelson visits ATL

Nelson recently took his mommy and Nanny to visit Poppa and Gammy in Canton, GA. He had a blast!

Nelson was all smiles while Gammy pushed him in the swing.

Gammy and Poppa's neighborhood has a very fun playground!

Nelson also visited Tanglewood Farms where he found the local jail.

Here Kitty Kitty!

Nelson liked the bunnies in the old school house.

He also liked petting the miniature horses.

He liked the miniature goats from the outside of the fence better than the inside.
Gammy gave him so bread to feed the goats, but he decided to eat it himself instead.

He took his first pony ride!

The Manhertz/Michel family invited Nelson to swim at the YMCA. He had so much fun!

Church Picnic

Nelson enjoyed playing in the grass at the Long's Chapel picnic at Lake Junaluska.
He also stopped to pose for a photo by the toddler bouncy house.

Here he is playing with his friend Ivy in the bouncy house.

He played so hard that he had to share Daddy's drink to quench his thirst!
