Vacation Day 4- Fernbank Natural History Museum

After the World of Coke we didnt want to head
back to the hotel so we went to another museum.
There newest exhibit was called "The scoop on
Poop"-- it was rather interesting. They were about
to close so we didnt stay to long.

Vacation Day 4- World of Coke

After the aquarium we visited

the World of Coke. This was a little

boring for the kids but Aaron loved

tasting the different cokes from

around the world.

going inside the "vault" where

they keep the secret recipe

getting a taste--personally

I thought they were all yucky

At the end of tour before the gift

shop of course they gave you

a bottle of coke in a glass bottle

Vacation Day 4- Georgia Aquarium

On Day 4 we were up bright and
early thanks to Avery who doesn't
sleep well in other beds. Our first
stop was the Georgia Aquarium-
we are a zoo and aquarium people so
this was definitly the one of the highlights
of the trip. Avery LOVED it! she
would point and giggle at the fish!





Avery up close and personal with
the tank


look at this one mommy!



Avery did ALOT of sleeping on our trip-- she
had an ear infection too so that could have
been alot of the reason-- here she is napping
on mommy in the nice, cool dark aquarium.


One of the key features of the Georgia Aquarium
was the 4 whale sharks they have on display--
this is the largest fish in the ocean-- it was
very impressive to see

Vacation Day 3- Legoland Discovery Center

Our first stop in Atlanta was
the Legoland Discovery Center.
It was a neat place but over priced.
There were 2 rides and lots of tubes
of legos... I think if the kids were
a little older then they would have
enjoyed it more.

A daddy ride


"I just want to eat all of these!"


After Legoland we ate at
Johnny Rockets- a 50s themed
place.. thought it was cute and the
burgers were good

Vacation Day 2- Visit in Cartersville

On day 2 of our vacation we
traveled to Cartersville, GA
to visit with Uncle Trey, Aunt Beth,
Margaret, and Meredith-- and Gram
was visiting as well so we go to
see her too. It was a short visit
but we had a great time. Aaron
was very excited that we were going
to be spending the night-- I think
this was actually his favorite part
of vacation.

Riding the camel

The Birmingham Zoo also offered
camel rides... and much to our
suprise Aaron wanted to ride. I was
thinking that as soon as he got on
he would start freaking out but
he did so great!

Vacation Day 1

The car was packed, snacks and lunches were
made and we were off on our adventure to
Georgia. Our first stop on the way was to the
Birmingham Zoo-- we have a zoo membership
with the Baton Rouge Zoo and there are several
other zoos in the US that we can get into free and
this was one of them. Well worth FREE!
If you are in the area they have a terrific monkey
exhibit.

Swimming Lessons

Aaron completed his second
year of swimming lessons at
Crawfish Aquatics. It was a long
2 weeks driving back and forth
to Baton Rouge everyday but we
made it and I couldn't be more
pleased with the progress he made.








This was the first year he floated on his back


With his teacher Ms. Kettie

There was a big slide that you

could ride for $1 after the lessons

were over-- on the last day Pop Pop

purchased 2 slide tokens-- he

was thrilled!

Mommy's helper

Aaron took it upon himself
to fold and put up all of his
clean clothes for mommy the other
night-- lets see if I can get him to do
it in a few years!

Summer in cell phone photos

Aaron recently woke up with his
face huge and swollen after
something bit him during the night-
this picture his hard to tell but his
ears and eye lids are HUGE!



Avery was just worn out!



On the playground at the mall-
and yes she made it all the way to the
top with no problem!



Daddy can we get one?

VBS at Zachary United Methodist

Aaron attended his second VBS this summer
with his best bud Jackson. This VBS had a
cooking theme called Shake It Up Cafe. He was
really excited to see Jackson this summer since
he stopped going to school with him. Jackson
should hopefully be in Aaron's class at the Pre-K
next year.





This photo just melts my heart!

Avery's First Birthday Gift

Our baby girl doesn't turn 1 for another couple
of weeks but Aunt Brittney was visiting and
gave her a gift early. She really liked the pretty
ribbon it was wrapped in too!


Opening her gift


"What is it mommy?"



Cute hairbows! Yay!

Aaron started swimming lessons this
week and they give you 2 tokens to
ride this huge water slide-- He
was very excited about it



After swimming lessons-- i wished I was napping
with them!
