Far Far Away -- Atlanta

Our little family of 5 loaded up in our "way cool" minivan and headed for a little road trip down to Atlanta. But of course we had to shine up our ride before we headed out.

While it's nice to have a clean car, the more important motive behind this task was to wear the boys out so they'd sleep well for the big drive. It worked! We drove overnight and all 3 kids did awesome. Elliott slept almost the entire way. X and Wes slept, ate snacks, or watched movies.

The consequence of driving overnight is that we arrived in town around 6am. Way to early to show up at the relatives house. So we introduced the boys to the WAFFLE HOUSE and went to a nearby playground to ride bikes.

We all had a great time visiting with Donna, Chuck, and Adam. The boys loved their pool and spent hours out there. They also loved chasing the dog, Tallulah, around the house. Poor dog.

While there we hit up our usual favorite place, the Atlanta Children's Museum. It was Elliott's first visit and he jumped right in!

 All that grocery shopping wore him out so he decided to take a nap on Walter while the older boys made some sand creations and painted.

Within walking distance from the museum are the Centennial Park Fountains. It was a perfect day to splash around so that's exactly what we did!

The rest of the pictures from our trip are apparently on Walter's and Donna's cameras. So, sorry -- pictures end here until I can get those others downloaded to me.

While in town we visited my cousin Adam's new office of Mowgli Games. They just created the SONGSTER game on Facebook and it's a hit! We are super excited for Adam. The boys each created their own song with a little help from "Uncle Cuzzie", and named them appropriately for their favorite colors: "green song" and "red song". 

We had a fun visit and now the boys ask almost daily when we are going back. They know it's "far far away" but still don't understand why we can't "just go there" whenever they feel like it.
