Sorry, but we were just having too much fun for me to have time to blog while in Atlanta! I'll start off with the rest of our zoo pictures that I couldn't get to load last time. These are mostly fun pictures of Mom & JJ taken by Dad. Just to sneak a few in. I would post panda pictures, but you didn't come here for pandas, now did you??
On Monday, we went to the Georgia Aquarium. Jon and I got to go there in 2006, so we knew Joseph would love it. He really has a thing for fish and water. It was still pretty awesome, but our little boy wore out pretty fast.
Looking at the alligators (another one of the many words he can say)
Checking out piranhas with dad.
Making sure no one misses the beluga whales...
Not even the group of 4 & 5 years olds...yes, he is almost as big as they are!
Isn't he CUTE???
On Tuesday, we "rested". At least that was the plan. But, we still ended up going back to the downtown area, and we visited Centennial Olympic Park. The best part of the park is the Olympic Rings fountain for the kids to play in. We obviously didn't dress appropriately, but we still had fun (and squishy shoes). Joseph is now saying "water, touch it" because we "touched" the water of the fountains. He also played on the playground there.
On Wednesday, back to the same area, but to World of Coca-Cola. Joseph can now say "Coca-cola" and "polar bear". We saw the Coke polar bear, and Joseph just kept saying "pol-ar bear", until we finally got close to him, then he balked. He did pick out a stuffed one from the gift shop though. As you are leaving World of Coca-Cola, you are given a commerative glass bottle of Coke that was bottled there on site while you were probably going through the exhibits, so we brought those home, and will share them with Joseph soon.
Thursday, Friday and Saturday--the real reason for the trip. Mom went to her conference which was amazing and so very educational! While she was learning away, Joseph & Dad roamed. Here they are in Piedmont Park...Jon was lucky to get in considering he was actually bring his own child and wasn't a nanny!
Joseph had to learn to share the swing on the 2nd day...he didn't like it.
Loved the firetruck day 1, didn't go near it day 2!!
And finally, the only way we survived a 9 hour car trip..."Movies, On, PEASE!!" Joseph really enjoyed watching the SAME video over and over again on the built in DVD player. At least we only drove as far as Tupelo on Saturday, then visited part of the Natchez Trace before coming on back to Little Rock on Sunday.
Sorry it took me so long to get this out, but it was worth it, right? Ya'll have fun!
