A Sunny Weekend & Monday Son-Day!


There is something about little ones and laundry baskets.  Or anything they can fit in actually.  Jack has recently discovered the inside of the dryer.  He regularly replaces our pots and pans with himself in the kitchen cabinets, and he loves to get inside any laundry basket!  This weekend, at cousin Brookie's birthday dinner, Jack and cousin Kady both squeezed into a doll-size pack 'n play!

If only getting him to sleep in his own crib had been that easy.



Other excitement from Saturday includes a pineapple pop out of the fruit bouquet from Aunt Lori...

Jack LOVES fruit!
...and extreme stair climbing at Aunt Suzi's (which terrifies Mommy while giving her quite a work out)!

Almost to the top!
On Sunday we had breakfast with Grandma and Grandpa and the Hunt family, and afterwards Jack made friends with a tree in the parking lot. 

Little Tree Hugger!

Today was an especially exciting day!  We got to be the first "test audience" for the Georgia Aquarium's Dolphin Tales show which opens officially to the public on April 2nd.  Jack's best bud Braeden's grandparents volunteer there, and they invited us to go for free!  We started with lunch at Johnny Rockets and then we played at the Centennial Olympic Park playground.

The boys had a slide race!
Ready, set go!



Braeden wins!
Then we lined up for entrance into the Aquarium, but we had to wait a bit, so the boys' attention shifted to more playtime on this gorgeous day.

Once in, we were ushered to a sort of holding room where one wall was a  huge dolphin pool where the boys could go right up to the glass and see the dolphins swimming and jumping and playing in the water.  The dolphins would even swim up to the glass and interact with the crowd.  We had to wait in there for awhile, but that was all part of the testing.  Then they opened the doors to the theater and we got to take our seats, but we had to wait a bit longer for the show to begin.  It was somewhat of a struggle for the boys, who were already exhausted and skipping nap time, but once the show started they were mesmerized.  They did not allow photography, or else I would certainly have some pics to share!

My big boy!
So "Monday Son-day" was well spent, and what perfect weather we had to go with it.  As I was writing this, Jack was taking a late snooze, but now he is up and we are going to eat some dinner!  Yum, Mellow Mushroom pizza!  And that's a wrap!
