Atlanta

After Colorado, we went to Atlanta to meet the other families from Enerecap. The kids were excited to meet Craig's co-workers. I was amazed at how well behaved the kids all were and how they all got along so nicely together. While we were there we visited the Aquarium, attended a Braves game, and went to 6 Flags.
The Aquarium was incredible. We had a behind the scenes tour and got to view the tanks from above. We got to see where they prepared food for all of the animals and fish. We also got to see the hospital area and the equipment that they use to take care of everything.















 The Braves game was a whole lot of fun too. The fans were all very enthusiastic. Alison had fun dancing and chanting with the other girls in our group.
 Our suite for the game was very nice. We had our own balcony seats as well as an air conditioned room. We had so much space to mingle and visit as well as watch the game.






Alison and Margaret had a blast hanging out and playing with each other. Alison is already talking about going back to visit her again.
 I did not take many pictures at 6 Flags. We got to ride lots of rides. It is so much more enjoyable now that the kids are bigger. Alison finally hit the 48 inch mark, so she was able to ride some of the bigger roller coasters. She rode on the Ninja, which had 3 loops and a corkscrew turn. She was very excited about it, but got a little scared once it got started. If you ask her about her favorite ride now she answers the Ninja without hesitation.

 On Sunday we went to the Pink Pin Bowl, a charity fundraiser for Cool Girls, Inc. Alison and the other girls had as much fun dancing as they did bowling.

Colorado August 2011

For the last week of our summer break we took the kids to Colorado. The kids were very excited to see everyone. We stayed very busy and had a great time visiting with everyone. I had fun playing with my camera as usual. I cam home with over 500 pictures. This year we flew instead of driving. That was a hit. Patrick and Alison have fun using their passports and are great travelers. They were great on the plane, unfortunately we were seated right in front of  kids that were not. It was funny hearing my kids complaining about the behavior of other kids. Both kids commented on how much nicer the weather was in Colorado than in Texas right now.

Saturday night, Craig and I got to hang out without the kids. It was nice to see Steve and Mary Ann at their new apartment.

 The kids had a great time playing and exploring around the house.
 I got to sit and read with this great view as the kids played golf.
 We got to go Alpine Sledding.



 No trip is complete without ice cream.
 We even got to play miniature golf, ride go carts and bumper cars.









 Pretty impressive hole in one. The kids missed on purpose so the statue would spit water on them.
