Vacation Day 6- Panning for Gold and Gemstones
Our last stop on the way out of town was to stop
in Dahlonega, GA to pan for gold. Aaron said
that this was his favorite part of vacation. He came
home with a speck of gold and a bag full of gemstones

Vacation Day 6- Babyland General Hospital
On our last day we stopped at Mommy's favorite
part of vacation- The Cabbage Patch hospital.
I had a cabbage patch doll when I was little so I
wanted to share my love for them with the kids...
wished Avery would have been older but we will
go back again. When you walk in you immediatly
recognize the baby powder scent (which on a side
note... i think I may be allegeric too). The kids
both seemed to have a good time and we adopted
a baby doll for Avery as her birthday present
while we were there.
We thought this doll looked
freakishly like my mom but with
brown hair-- kinda made me jump
when I turned around
Looking for the perfect baby to adopt
"which one do I want?"
We found the perfect one! and named her
Anna Lynn Gaines born 11-22-11

Vacation Day 6- Babyland General Hospital Continued
Every 20 minutes at the hospital
you can witness a birth from the
cabbage patch tree-- our "doctor"
was a teenage guy who was less
than thrilled it seemed to be there-
I think if they had someone to really
be into it -- it would have been alot
better for the kids
The tree about to give birth
Its a BOY!
Checkin him out in the nursery
Aaron was the first to hold him
** On a side note-- you can purchase all the
babies born at the hospital-- for $200!!! we
selected a more inexpensive baby that was born
in china for $50 :)**

Vacation Day 5- To the top of the Mountain!
The highlight of our time at
Stone Mountain was the journey
to the top! They take you to the
top in a lift-- which is hanging
from some wires-- mommy wasn't
impressed with the ride up but Aaron
loved it!
Ready to ride-- not scared at
all
Avery is well... happy at the moment
Made it to the top!
Me and Avery sat at the top while the boys
ventured toward the edge-- this is also where
I noticed something was wrong with Avery's leg

Vacation Day 5-- Riding the Ducks
Our first activity after a short
lunch was to ride the ducks-- which
if you have never seen a "duck"-- its
a truck that drives on land and water.
boarding the "duck"
Avery was NOT impressed with
her life jacket
They handed out these
extremely annoying quackers-
thankfully Aaron couldn't figure
out how to make it quack until
the end-- to bad all of the other
kids on board figured it out

Vacation Day 5- Stone Mountain
After the zoo we headed about an hour away
to Stone Mountain Park. It was a beautiful place-
but it was hot and avery was cranky (who wouldn't
be with a bum leg)... so we picked 3 of the
activities to do-- Riding the Ducks, Scenic
Railroad, and the Skylift.

The scene of the incident
I snapped this picture moments
before Avery fell off... keep in mind that
the next 2 days of posts we toted
her around unknowingly with a
broken leg.... apparently she
has Andrew's high tolerance for
pain.

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
