Day 3: Movies and Bowling

On Day 3 of our vacation we took it easy.  We went to the $1 movie at 10:00 to see Meg@Mind.  We spent $3 for the movie and then $17.25 for the snack packs : )

 This was Abigail's first time at the movies.  We sat on the front section so we could easily get up with her.  She sat still for about 15 minutes at the beginning and then spent her time going back and forth between Joe and me.  She got up a few times and sat on the steps and then wanted to walk up and down the hallway inside the theater so it wasn't too bad.  At least we stayed in the theater the whole time to watch the movie : )

We then ate lunch and went home for Abigail to get a much needed nap.  This was her first nap in 3 days so she needed it.  After naptime we went bowling.  Joe and I enjoyed this more than the girls did but that's ok : )  Abigail participated a couple of times so we used her slot as a hodge podge . . . with all 3 of us taking turns for her slot.  Emily stuck it out thru the whole game but was more interested in all the snacks that I brought.

A fun relaxing day!

Day 2: Water Park

Day 2 of our vacation was spent at the Water Park.  We got to the park at 10:30 and didn't leave until 6:00.  Abigail hung in there with us pretty good.   We snuck in a ton of snacks today so the girls wouldn't want to eat lunch at 11:00 a.m. when the park isn't crowded yet.  So during their morning snack time we got benches near several of the slides and Joe and I took turns going down the slides while the girls ate:

We also went to the wave pool and managed to get some inner tubes.  Abigail and I rode the waves together while Joe and Emily rode one of the tubes also.  We spent some time at the kids slide that Emily likes to go down and then ate lunch outside the park.  After lunch we hung out at the kids area.  Emily finally got up the nerve to run thru the water with her goggles on : )

Abigail had fun running thru the water also and even met a friend:

 

 After going down this slide several times, Abigail decided to try to go down the middle one by herself and fell to the side and hit her head really hard.  She cried for a while but recovered.

When we went back to the slide area that Emily enjoys, she met a friend named Abigail and they held hands and went down the slide together about 20 times.  Then Abigail talked her into going to the play area with water squirting everywhere.  Emily would never get on there before because of the water, but she ran thru there with Abigail and even went down one of the twirly slides.  I was proud of her.  Abigail tried to get her to go down one of the tunnel slides but Emily drew the line on that one : )  She has to take baby steps. 

As we were walking back to our chairs and towels, we noticed how many people were leaving the park at 5:30 so we decided to let Emily swim at the pool near a bunch of the slides and while Abigail filled up on more snacks sitting at the edge of the pool, Joe and I took turns taking in more slides.  There was NO waiting in line at this time of the afternoon so we rode several before we headed home.

Tomorrow we are heading to the $1 movie and bowling!!!!

Our Vacation has begun!

This week we are taking a week off of work and enjoying time together.  This weekend we went to see Joe's mom:

 

  Then today we went to F@rnbank Museum:

 After the museum we ate at an Asian stir fry restaurant near the Cobb Galleria.  As we were leaving, Joe said "Hey there's Coach Richt."  I couldn't hear him so I was looking inside one of the banquet rooms to see what they were setting up thinking he was telling me to look in there.  I said, "What?" and Emily turned around and yelled at the top of her lungs, "Coach Richt!!!!"  He turned around and said hello to us : )  So we met Georgia's football coach thru our 4 year old tonight !

Then we ended the evening at our yummy doughnut shop!  The girls enjoyed watching the doughnuts being made while Joe and I enjoyed sitting there eating : )

Day 1 of our vacation was a blast!  Tomorrow we are heading to the water park!!!!
