Georgia Aquarium

Friends,

The Georgia Aquarium is AMAZING!  There is so much to see!

 This sea turtle was fun to watch.  Very playful!

 We are in a tunnel...Mike is taking a picture from the other side of the tank.

 It wasn't easy to get them all in one picture together.  They wanted to watch the fish!

Harbor Seal in the Beluga Whale tank.

Posing in the window with a penguin.  He liked looking at the penguins eyes, mouth and feet.

The RAYS were SO BIG!

Whale Sharks

What an amazing place!

A visit to Atlanta...specifically to The Varsity

while in Atlanta we stopped in at The Varsity...

cute photo ops with their food and hats!

(daddy wore a hat too!)

A quick trip before vacation...

A few days before vacation we drove to Brooker Creek Preserve for a picnic lunch and walk in the park!  Lucky for us, we brought a nature loving friend with us!

She found a family of armadillos close enough to touch.

The view of the preserve is breathtaking!

Dancing Machines!

this year both boys danced.

this was noah's first dance recital and tyler's third dance recital.

tyler danced to "teach me how to shimmy"

little brother thinks they did a great job! 

noah danced to "in his kiss"

(he has finished his dance and is hanging out backstage)

both were adorable!

#3 turn 2 years old!

Our baby (that's what we call him) turned two!

So we celebrated with dinos (thanks, Gramps!)

And water play, and sliding, and blasting water!

 And friends and cousins...

What a nice visit!

More to come...

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter to all!

Saturday we visited our church for their annual egg hunt!  What fun we had!  

#3 had no trouble figuring out what to do...he even climbed the slide to collect more eggs...

#2 loved his egg hunt as well!

#1 was able to join some long-time friends for his hunt!'

P.S.  I didn't realize I hadn't finished publishing this one!
