Pirate kids

Yesterday our neighbor took us to a really cool play center called Pirates Cove. It has several inflatables and a huge playground and sand box indoors. The kids had the most fun playing. We stayed all afternoon. Unfortunately I forgot my camera so I have no pictures to show. I am going to be putting the camera in my purse to make sure I have it with me at all times.

Addison's birthday

I can't believe my baby is 2 years old already. Time goes by so fast the older we get. I remember I didn't think I would ever turn 16 and now it won't be long and my kids will be turning 16. Time is precious.

For Addison's actual birthday we took her to eat a Jim Bob's and then to Learning Express to pick a toy.(Doctors kit) She also received a really cute pink chair for her room but it is still in the den because she sits in it all the time. Sunday we are going to have the neighborhood kids over for cake and ice cream. Of course if you know Addison you know she is having a Dora cake. She is all about Dora.

Aquarium

We enjoyed the day Tuesday at the Atlanta Aquarium. When we first arrived the aquarium was empty but by 11:00am it became very busy. Luckily we were finished seeing everything by 12:30 and headed to our favorite pizza place. (Felinis in Buckhead) We love to sit outside and watch the cars and people go by plus the pizza is really really good. After pizza Sydney went home with Granny to spend a couple of days.

Visiting

The kids and I left here last Tuesday and went to visit Grandma and Grandpa. While we were there we were able to go to Steve and Barry's. I have been wanting to check out the Sara Jessica Parker line. The store was really big and filled with all kinds of clothes. I would not go out of my way to go there again but if it was convenient would stop in. The kids spent a lot of time swimming in the pool. After a couple of days it was time to head home; of course the kids didn't want to leave. We will have to go visit again soon.

Another Terrific 4th of July

We started the day off at the Woodstock parade. This year is election year so the parade was longer and the kids got more candy. They were excited. After the parade Jay and a few of the neighbors took the older kids swimming. Once they got home it was time to prepare for the grill out. He had 6 families come over to grill out and then we did fireworks. Which the kids just love. We are a neighborhood that does fireworks several times a month so everyone expects our 4th fireworks to be really good. I have to say I think we lived up to the expectation last night.

Playing Baby

Sydney likes to play baby with Addison. Sometimes Addison is really cooperative and sometimes she isn't. This was a cooperative day.

Whitewater

Yesterday Jay took the day off of work and we took the kids to Whitewater. It was a lot of fun but something I definitely couldn't have done alone. Sydney and Ethan loved all the water slides. I had to beg Sydney to not go down the cliff hanger. She went on the one at Lake Lanier Islands last year and that was enough for me. For those of you who don't know what the the cliff hanger is it is a ninety foot drop on a water slide. It is a little scary to watch your little girl go down the slide and actually come off the slide for part of the ride. Not to mention I am scared of heights and that is way to high for me.
Ethan loved the water slides but he is much more cautious and stays on the easy rides.
Addison loved the kiddie area. Unfortunately I forgot the camera so there are no pictures to share.
I think next year we might get season passes with some of our neighbors.
