ATLANTA TRIP, DAY 2- ImagineIt, Centennial Park






















Day 2 was all about the kids. After a quiet breakfast at the Bistro (not quiet at all, due to Ethan's loud mouth; we got many rude stares from people we'll never see again!), we went to ImagineIt, a cool place for kids to play and learn, but mostly play. Ethan had a blast at the under two section and throwing plastic balls into this maze thinga-majig. Madalyn and Molly loved painting and making shapes with their parents out of moon sand.

Lunch was at the CNN center. Nice Mexican restaurant. Good food. Then on to Centennial Park to the Olympic rings. They shoot water out of the ground in various patterns and intensities for kids to play in. ETHAN LOVED IT! Then he hated it. Then he loved it again. This repeated for an hour or so. Carrie got almost as wet as he did. Molly and Madalyn also enjoyed it. Finally, at the end, Jason and Scott tried to weave their way through without getting wet. They got close, but ended up getting caught at the end!

Another nice day. Then the ride back to Montgomery for 4th of July at Nana B and Papa John's!
























ATLANTA TRIP!- Georgia Aquarium/Monday Evening










Thanks to Hooper letting Scott off for the week of the 4th, we decided to go to Nana and Papa's in SC and on the way back, stop in Atlanta for a couple days. Scott wasn't big on the Atlanta part, but there really is a lot to do there. The first day there, we met up with the Pilchers and went to the Georgia Aquarium. Madalyn and Molly were great company for Ethan. Unfortunately, we didn't get any pictures that show just how packed it was, but it was stuffed with people. Other then the long lines and wall-to-wall humanity, it was a great experience. We could've stayed longer and will definitely go back.
We got to take a ride to visit Uncle Joe at "The Little Shop" where he works, spend some time in the Perimeter Mall, then went to PF Changs for amazing food. Afterwards, Lorinda and Carrie went shoe shopping while Jason and Scott rode around Dunwoody with the kids. We got lost in downtown, went to the scariest Publix in the world, and finished the night off with expensive chocolate and ice cream in the Marriott.















Father's Day- Ethan's First Biscuits Game (we think)!!!





For Father's Day, we went to Nana B and Papa John's house, then to a Biscuits game with Grandpa. We are pretty sure this was Ethan's first game, because we don't remember going last year, and the way we take pictures, I think we would know!!! the Biscuits lost, but we had fun anyway! Ethan was hot, so everyone in the family got a chance to hold him because he was so fidgety. We put sunblock in his hair, and that was entertaining as well!!! After the game, cousin Cecil ran the bases and got a Vanilla Coke. Lots of Fun!!!








Lake Trip- Lake Martin








Ethan and Family spent a few days at Lake Martin. There was lots of swimming and even a boat ride! There was a nice playground not too far from the RV. Ethan had a BLAST! Cousin Cecil got a new rod and reel from his Dad, and he got to try it out. Jessica was great about helping take care of E-Man. It was a very nice getaway!
