Happy 4th of July!!

 What an amazing week! We had the best time with a wonderful visit with Aunt Sarah, Uncle Mike and Cousins Katie and Nathan. We had an adventure filled week with trips to the Water Park, Children's Museum, Acquarium and, of course, we ended it all with fireworks!! We loved having them here and can't wait until the next visit!! Jackson had so much fun playing with his cousins and was very sad when they had to leave. When Jackson saw them loading up their suitcases to leave, he ran to his room and started packing his own suitcase for the airplane. Things that were going to make the trip included his toothbrush  and toothpaste of all things! Since we dropped them off at the airport, we have had to play "airplane" This game consists of us packing our suitcases, loading them into the "car" a.k.a. his grocery stroller, and climbing into the "airplane", which is mommy's bed with covers over our head. He loves this game!!! We had so much fun and so many pictures to share! This first picture is the kids cleaning themselves off after the "washable colored" bubbles I bought. As you can see from the next pictures, these colored bubbles were quite a mess and quickly made their way to the trash can!

 Trying to wash off all the colors.

Jackson color of choice was green. He doesn't quite understand that he doesn't have to hold the bubble wand right up to his lips.....hence the green face.

Walking to the Chidren's Museum. Jackson loved to hold Katie's hand everywhere!

Georgia Aquarium!

First Twizzler! Thanks Aunt Sarah!! Getting a snack before the new dolphin show. It was a great production and would highly recommend it. Jackson sat the entire time mezmerized!

 "Touching" the BelugaWhale.

 Crawling through the tunnel!

I just love Nathan's pose in this picture!!

 All 3 kids in front of the giant fish tank. This was definately not an easy shot to get, but well worth it!

Daddy decided that the pool and slide we had just wasn't quite up to par, so he decided to make it inot a slip 'n slide by adding a tarp. The kids loved it!!

Secretly I think daddy loved it even more!

Waiting for the parade in the square! Jackson's favorite was by far the firetrucks!!

 When is this parade going to start?

 Here they come!!

After the parade, we had our own little fireworks show. Check out our pyrotechnic crew. Needless to say, we decided we needed to scoot back a little further!

I love fireworks!!

 First Sparkler!

Sweet Katie with her sparkler.

Cutie Nathan with his sparkler.

Flag cake before the fireworks! Unfortunatley, the weather in Atlanta did not hold up and we did not get to see the big fireworks show. We still had an amazing time. We had a wonderful week and were so sad when Aunt Sarah, Uncle Mike, and Katie and Nathan had to leave. We can't wait until our next visit! We love you!!!
