Armful of stamps after a strep test but thankfully no strep, just a no-fun fever virus…

New sunglasses and hats…

and, finally, Tribal Wars for me! It was a fun day – with some brutal workouts – but we were proud of ourselves! We finished 17th out of 67 teams. Top 20! Woohoo! Go Hell’s Kettle Bells!

and even to get allergy shots! Did you know Spidey has allergies?! It was kinda tough to get the needle through all those muscles but the nurse got it in!

Hope you all have a super weekend!

Soaked

It was 4:45, Spencer wanted to get the hose out. I told him no and went inside to cook dinner. He got it out anyway. I should have been mad but, honestly, I didn’t really care. It’s summer after all! Just like last time, they had a BALL!

We’re starting summer off with a big splash!

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!

A fun weekend in Atlanta!
