Pancake Springs




We went to Ponce De Leon Springs State Park last weekend with Seth's parents. There is pancake house there called The Sugar Mill, but this is not your usual IHOP! We had to wait 1 1/2 hours before we got seated, during that time we walked around the springs and enjoyed the sunshine. There were people scuba diving down into the cave system under the springs. Pretty cool to watch. Once we were seated for "Aaron, party of 4 and a half", our table had a griddle in the middle of it, hot and ready for pancakes. It's "All-You-Can-Eat" pancakes for $4.50! Comes with butter, syrup, raw honey and molasses for your choosing. Any other toppings, blueberry's or PB, are a little extra, so are eggs or meats. Oh, these are not bisquick pancakes either! They stonegrind the grains and offer unbleached white and whole multi-grain. Both are amazing! Cora didn't have any cakes but she did enjoy some bananas. If you ever come down for a visit we'll have to try getting over to the Sugar Mill. It's quite the place! 

The Dedication


Cora was dedicated at church on March 8th. Grandma & Grandpa Strong and Nana & Papa Hardley and Aunt Wendy were all here for the weekend. Cora was very tired by Sunday, you can see it in these pictures. We also celebrated my birthday on Saturday with a big party, Seth grilled chicken kabobs that were so good and the mom's helped out a lot with the food. Between Seth's homemade brownies and Wendy's fresh strawberry lemonade (made with lemons from our tree), I couldn't have asked for a better birthday. Oh, my new bike was the icing on the cake! My family surprised me with a new road bike! It's really nice and man can I go fast! Don't worry I wear a helmet. Thank you to everyone who gave to my bike fund. I appreciate it so much!
