Here fishy fishy

June 2, 2016

On Sunday morning, we all got up and were at the Georgia Aquarium by 9am! I’m so glad we got there right when it opened because it wasn’t too crowded yet and we were able to see the whale sharks and penguins without too big of a crowd around us…

We then went to see the Sea Lion show and the Dolphin show. Both were great – but we had to wait way too long for them! We got in line for the Sea Lion show at 10:00 and it started at 10:30. When that was over, we went straight to the Dolphin show and were in our seats by 10:50 but the show didn’t start until 11:30! It was THAT crowded that we had to go super early – but trying to entertain/wrangle Samantha in a seat for that long was not exactly fun. After the show, we made one last stop to see the jelly fish and the eels and then we hit the road back to Birmingham.

Overall it was a great trip. I’m not dying to go back to the aquarium anytime soon but I’m glad we went. Mostly, I’m so glad this crew got to hang out!

Hot-Lanta

June 1, 2016

We decided to take a little road trip to Atlanta for the long weekend to visit our friends, Patrick and Liz, and their cute kids, Henry and Evelyn. Henry is just about 5 months younger than Maxwell so the boys all played really well together. Evelyn just turned 2 and I think she enjoyed having a “baby” around that wasn’t her!  🙂 Our first stop was Taqueria del Sol…yum!

We then spent the afternoon just doing around…seeing a train, getting ice cream, playing at the park, and hanging out. Perfect!

Pouty because everyone has ice cream but her!

Brothers to the rescue!

After some rest (including a solid 3 hour nap for Samantha in the pack N play! woohoo!), we headed to a park to run some energy out…

That night, the grownups went out to dinner and we left the kiddos with a very capable babysitter who said they all went to bed with no problems! I’d say our plan of wearing them out at the park worked!

Everyone slept great…almost. Samantha slept great until 5:30am when she woke up covered in pee and freezing cold. Oh well, you win some, you lose some. That just meant we were up and ready to go on our Sunday adventure! See you tomorrow with details!

Last soccer game

May 31, 2016

A week ago Sunday, Spencer (finally!) had his last soccer game. By this point in the season, Baby just thought she was on the team…

And Spencer was largely over playing soccer! There were no tears, and he ran out on the field plenty, but he wasn’t super interested in actually playing! What he was interested in was getting a trophy!  🙂

They don’t all 3 fit in the rocking chair quite as good as they did last year!

But we’re doing the best we can – striped socks, gold beads, skinned knees and all! 🙂
