Bright Lights, Big City, Best Cousins, and Little Fishies

Michelle and Trent had to go to Atlanta for Trent's business last week. It just so happened that Philip had to go out of town to present in Charlotte, so the little boys and I decided to crash the Parkerson Family Atlanta trip!! :)

We arrived on Friday morning and took the boys to the aquarium! They loved all the fish, the jellies, the beluga whales, the dolphin show, and the 3-D movie.  Not only did Landon and Austin love looking at all the fish in their tanks, but Owen loved the aquarium too! You could just see the amazement in his eyes!

After the aquarium, we tried to have the boys take naps in the hotel room with very little success, so we ended up going to Game-X next door once Trent got finished with his business meetings. The kiddos (and adults) had a blast playing all the games!

The ENTIRE Centennial Olympic Park was closed for a huge Microsoft event, so unfortunately we couldn't go to the park. The one positive of this was that Pit Bull and Usher were playing at the event, and we could hear them from the hotel room! I finally talked Michelle and Trent into going on a mini-date to get dessert and listen to the concert while I put the boys to bed. It was so wonderful to snuggle all the boys, and tell them stories as we were falling asleep. The sweet boys that they are kept wanting to hear stories about God. I told them about Noah, Jonah, Jesus' birth, and then they wanted me to tell them a story about God and an alligator! Haha! I just love those precious boys!

We had such a wonderful time on our getaway to the ATL!
