Where do babies come from? The Cabbage Patch, of course!

Jenny always loved her baby dolls, so it's not surprising that Suzi is following in her mom's footsteps. We took Suzi and her parents to The Cabbage Patch in Cleveland, GA. on Sunday. Cleveland is only about 70 miles from Clemson, making it a nice day trip. Suzi insisted on carrying her baby with her. The baby had to have a visitor's pass. You can see the sticker on her back.

It was such fun watching Suzi try to take in everything she saw.
We could hardly contain her. She wanted to go-go
on her own and explore the whole place.

Each room or area had a theme. Here we are in the school room.
In addition to the bus there was a playground, classroom and cafeteria.

Suzi liked Santa's glasses. She calls everyone's glasses "eyes".


Suzi and her dad checked out some of the
Cabbage Patch Kids in the Christmas area.


She pointed out the noses, eyes, ears and
mouths on the "kids" sitting by the fence.


Then she went shopping! Here she has two Bunny Bees - they're
the ones who sprinkle crystals in the Cabbage Patch to
determine which babies are boys and which are girls.
Bet you didn't know that!

She chose a girl with big green eyes and a tuft of light brown hair.
Once she selected the prefect baby, she was ready to go-go.
She carried it to the check out all by herself.


Grandpa met her there to take care of the paperwork.


She loved her new baby all the way home.


Welcome home Shayla Harmon.

I'm sure there will be more trips to the Cabbage Patch for us. Suzi wasn't at all interested in seeing the action when one of the cabbages had a delivery. I video taped it for her, but she'll want to see it for herself one of these days.
