Busy, busy

We have been very busy here at Grammy and Grandpa's house...

Tuesday morning we went fishing at a little nearby pond. At first, the minnows just nibbled away at our squirmy wormies. J got bored within the first five minutes and took his book and a chair and parked himself under a shady tree. B taught N and M how to cast their line. N was the first to catch a fish. M caught the biggest fish (with absolutely no help from anyone). And J helped Grandpa reel in the most colorful fish- a blue gill.

After lunch and naps, the adults got ready for a night out. The boys went to a Braves game. The girls went to dinner and then to the Fox Theater to see "The Color Purple" (great show BTW, beautiful music). All of the kids stayed home to harass my oldest niece. Thanks A!!

Wednesday morning we got up and out the door to the Georgia Aquarium. M loved the aquarium mascot, Deepo the goldfish. N loved the penguins the best. And J liked the sharks. Everyone was on stimulation overload..."Let's go here. No. Let's go there. I want to see the turtles. I wanna see the sharks. Where's Deepo?? Wait a minute... Where's N??"
We went to "The Varsity" for lunch and filled up on hot dogs, homemade fries and onion rings.

Once again,we came home for rest time and then back out again to celebrate G.G. Ma turning in her car keys to Daddy. Dinner at Ryan's and then we wore the kids out playing in G.G. Ma's yard while the adults enjoyed the warm summer evening. I forgot how bad the bugs get around here in this humidity!

Tomorrow's another day. I'll post pics when we get home. K
