Nana Was Here!

Nana came for a visit on Wednesday.  The kids were anxiously awaiting her arrival.  Chuck E. Cheese's was our first stop.  There are tons of things to do in Atlanta but Chuck E Cheezits is always at the top of the list. They had lots of fun showing Nana their favorite games and rides.  Nana might have even played a few games herself!

 
The next day we were off to the zoo.  Another kid favorite.  I do love our zoo, it's not terribly big and the whole thing is in the shade.  It's just a wonderful place to take the kids.  We saw tons of animals, they all seemed to be out.  Jake read all the animals off to us, his reading ability is amazing!  Of course, riding the carousel was the highlight.  It was Grace's first ride.  She loved it.  Just smiled the entire time.

The next day we took Nana to the Aquarium.  This is probably Julianna's favorite place.  She loves the sea otters.  She could really stand there for an hour and watch them.  Jake will not have that, he is always asking "what's next."  He could probably tour the entire place in 15 minutes.  But we enjoyed ourselves and finished the morning with the dolphin show (my personal favorite).  Now you have to go in 30 minutes early so I try to bring snacks but Grace is miserable for the entire 30 minutes.  But once that show starts all three kids are mesmerized.  Grace claps for the dolphins it is sooo cute!  On the way out Nana said they could pick out a souvenir.  Jake instantly picks a snow globe because he has "always wanted one."  Julianna heads straight for the pink stuffed dolphin then insists Grace also needs a pink dolphin.  So off we went with a snow globe and two pink dolphins.  Everyone was happy!

Yes, happy until we got home and Nana had to leave.  Jake cried.  Julianna cried.  Grace just waved and blew kisses.  We had such a fun time!  Nana come back SOON!
