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.




 Ocean Voyagers!



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!!

Birthday Bash Numero Uno

Pretend It's January 5th, 2013 It's Birthday Season here at the Brandito Lair! Mr. Brandt heads back tomorrow and it's time for the annual triple treat birthday party for Mr. B, Uncle Danny and Annabelle.  Katy made 2 delicious cakes for the event. The boys got their own green cake and Annabelle got her own special Mario Cake.  We had some delicious food and the Birthday people got lots of special prizes!  The UnBirthday Party was definitely a success! 

Baby You're A Firework

One of these outfits was self chosen....the other was chosen by Mama...can you guess which is which?                   Happy 4th of July everyone!!  It was a rainy 4th for us Floridians. But with the rain comes cooler temperatures, and I'll take a little wet over sweat any day.   We started the 4th off by sleeping in (which of course still means we were up by 9...) and then cooked out with the Brandt/Simmons clan for lunch. We'd planned to go to the Riverwalk area too take part in the crafts and whatnot but once the girls heard Ava was already at Nana's house...they could not be persuaded to do anything that did not include being with her.   Cousins                  It was overcast and cloudy all day, but we did manage to escape most of the rain. Until the fireworks that is. I'm talking lite...

Wackiness

  It's wacky hat day at PRE today. Only Annabelle felt inclined to participate as it costs 2 feathers. Heaven said it was a "total waste of feathers" and Gavin said nothing as his only hat is a Seminole hat and he's gone rogue lately claiming suppot for Gators. My dear Annabelle made up for both of their lack of sense & style.  She is both Fancy in my large sunhat and Fabulous in her FSU Friday decor.   Doesn't get much better. Happy Friday!
