Taking a Walk - Through a Church!

Father Moment - All geared up :)

So, we decided to go visit the Sacred Heart Cultural Center this morning. I really wanted to go do something before the hot weather hit and this was Stephen's last day off. We both love old churches and thought this would be wonderful!

Let's Go!

We're Ready!

It is over 100 years old and used to be a Catholic Church. It was actually abandoned for 10 years and was vandalized and had pigeons living in it. It took a lot to clear out the wildlife and restore the church. It's beautiful, the stained glass everything.

Love the brick walls!

Stephen was smart in using the snugli for Adalynn. She enjoyed it too! She was so enthralled with the stained glass, which lined both walls in the main hall. All the stained glass windows were shipped to Wisconsin to get restored. (We found out a lot of the history through a very sweet old lady who worked there.) Actually this lady was so sweet and we found out her that she grew up in Augusta, her father had been a veterinarian in Augusta for 50 years, her nephew is struggling with an alcohol problem and was a Marine and that she was slightly racist. It was interesting how much these southern ladies share with you! HAH!

It was fun to go out as a family. We even went down the road a bit and stopped by another church that was 200 years old and still active. It was absolutely breathtaking, we didn't get any pictures because they were getting ready for Mass, but it was amazing! Adalynn fell asleep by the end, she was pooped :D

Needless to say - with the hot weather it's hard to take a walk outside (though we Addie and I still take a morning walk together), but we are trying to find fun places inside to walk around!
