The ATL- Day 3

Checking out the Sea Dragons
For our last & final day in Atlanta, we headed to the Georgia Aquarium. Myself & the girls had been before, but they've added several things since our last visits. The largest new addition is the Dolphin Tales show which is a mixture of the standard dolphin aquarium show & a theater production. We arrived right in time to catch the first show of the day. The girls LOVED it. Ava has just recently gotten back from a Disney Cruise where she got to swim with Dolphins so she was especially impressed.

Once the show was over, we headed off to explore the rest of the Aquarium. I didn't want us getting on the road TOO late, but we did manage to see everything except the 3d cartoon show. We allotted time to do it, but the girls opted for a little more time in the "kids" area, which was certainly fine by me.

Whale Shark!


Jellies

It was supposed to look like they were laying on the beach...
The only unimpressive thing we saw, was their new Frog Exhibit. Basically, they have about 100 different types of frogs in glass terariums....just hang'n out being frogs. And just an FYI frogs are boring and not cute. I definitely think they need to rethink the usage of this space.


Disgusting
The "kids" areas has 3 different touch pools which the girls thoroughly enjoyed!

Once we had seen all we could see we made our way out, which of course requires you to go thru the gift shop. I'd given the girls each a few dollars to spend OR save, so of course they bought stuffed animals. Because surely they need more of those.

Surely.

It was a pretty uneventful ride back, even with an extra passenger the girls were steller riders.We made a quick pit stop for dinner once we got out of the city and within about 15 minutes they were all sound asleep.

I think that's a sign of a pretty great weekend!!

Survival.

5 Boys > 2 Parents Sanity I'm not sure how it happened exactly...but after several days of recuperation, it appears we have survived the boy filled weekend. It was loud, it was messy at times, and it was most definitely chaotic...but overall...I'd say it was a fairly successful weekend for Gavin's big 1-1. Friday night he had 4 friends spend the night & though I had a mini stroke over a legitimate offer to spray paint part of our outside storage area, the boys had a blast. Gavin is really hung up on  Guthrie's  right now so we started the evening out with Guthrie's for dinner & then John, begin the brave (insane) loaded all the boys up and took them to see Ice Age.  They returned home with plenty of energy to burn & spent the rest of the evening playing outside and having video game battles. Thanks to my saint of sister who kept the girls, it was a boys only zone, and was undoubtably outnumbered.  The next morning, though they were up VERY late,...

The Who's Who of Whoville

 The girls had their church Christmas Program this weekend. They performed at both morning services and were equally amazing each time around! They've been practicing for the mast few months, and all their hard work most definitely paid off.
