Georgia cont......:)




The next day we went to White Water and I cant do justice in saying what that was like-this Utube video explains how I felt on this particular ride-The Tornado-NEVER experianced ANYTHING like this before-NEVER!!LOLOL-yeah I was just like that screaming woman!LOLOLOL But it was really fun!! The kids had never been into a wave pool-and it was fun-but made me very nervous having the kids in it and thinking at any time they would come off their tubes....Yigh!! LOLOL But we all had a great time here too!!:) 

Mommy Knows Best...:)


I went to check and make sure the garage was closed tonight-and what do ya know-there was Honey with all her kittens-OUT FRONT!! My!! I guess they are getting more and more independent -still nursing-but going farther and farther into the field and I guess out front-The Mommy in me says too soon Honey!!All the dangers out front!!:( LOLOL-But guess Mommy knows best-eh;)LOLOL Look how big they are getting...:( Cant get them fixed though till they are 4 months-so September!!So Mommy best be watching out for them!!I know she will-shes still VERY protective abt them-but leaving them on their own during the day more and more....But she has done an excellent job raising them-What a good Momma:)

This silly blogger is acting weird...anyway....................We bought a new trampoline on Friday!!!!! The kids are having a ball with it!! :)
We put it together on Friday and it took us a good while-LOLOL, then we had to find a level place to put it-and if anyone knows our yard it is hardly level..LOLOL, then we had to strap it down so it wont fly away.....crazy you say-right? Well the winds ard here are CRAZY strong-and we've seen many a trampoline being flown ard-ending up in some farmers field-so strapping is a neccesity...LOLOL. But we got it all together and we all had a go on it-Man-I havent been on a tramp in sooo long-but had a ball:)

Then fireworks were on Sat night and we usually watch them just on the porch from town as we eat licorice-but of course the kids wanted to sit on the tramp-LOLOL. They are out there all day-LOLOL-coming in for only food and water breaks-so very good investment;) LOLOL And sleepovers are being planned in their heads as we speak -sleeping out on the tramp....what fun!!

Tnight we made homemade icecream. I had it for the first time at Gramis-so as soon as we got back we looked into getting an icecream machine-we found one we liked and it came in the mail this past week-it was delicious!!!! Used Grami's recipe-bannana-YUMMY!!Im not a big icecream fan unless its got chunks of stuff in it-but this was heavenly:) So pretty good in my book-LOLOL

So we had a really good weekend-its been crazy hot-staying in the 90's pretty much all day-ugh! Here I am complaining abt the heat and in just a while I'll be complaining abt the cold-LOLOL

The boys have started boxing agn-having been off for a month -its been pretty hard, but they are slowly getting back into it....This next week Im going to return to writing abt the Georgia trip-its been crazy trying to get on the computer ard here lately-but I dont it will be a prob anymore-with the trampoline:)LOLOL So I should be updating agn soon:)

Atlanta-Day 2

 Stingers most anticipated place was the Cyclerama.

This place was incredible-like nothing I have ever experienced and realllllly neat!! Not to mention all the cool artifacts this place had-but the main attraction was so fascinating. We went into this room where this HUGE mural was-not only the mural, but soldiers and scenery had been depicted of the Atlanta battle. The stage we were on actually turned very slowly ard as it was narrated as if in a movie.  Shots were fired as it described what and who was fighting. It shown lights on things as they were depicted.  A funny tidbit-Cary Grant is in it...lolol-when he was asked how he liked it he arrogantly answered it was good and all, but would be better if he was in it-so they put him n it-only shot down to the ground-LOLOLOL 
    It lasted abt 20 min-and was over wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy to fast. I loved it!!  There were also members of the colored rebel army who showed us ard all decked out in their uniforms and told us abt things-as if they were there. So cool!! It reminded me of when I was in Jackson Hole Wyoming seeing my sisters play before the show-so animated and you just had to get excited right along with them as you were listening to them. And what could top it off but souvenirs for Stinger and Monkey boy-each got opposing sides hats-though Monkey Boy didnt wear his much during our trip-LOLOLOL;)

We stopped off at a cute little malt shop for lunch and I tasted my first sweet potatoe fries-NUMMY!!!!

As a side note-on our way back our GPS took us on a different route coming home to our hotel. We saw a side of Atlanta I never want to see agn-picture hearing bottles breaking, bars on everything and me locking the doors and freaking out-LOLOL-Yigh!!!!and wouldnt you know it-a stop light it seamed on each and every block....National Lampoons Vacation ring a bell....yigh!! But no hubcaps stolen.....Geesh...

Well Im pooped-so thats all for a bit-Hope everyone has a happy 4Th!!!!!

The Atlanta Zoo was Waaaaaaaaaaay big-I even got to see my favorite Bears-the Pandas!!!!!! They had the cutest momma gorilla there too hugging on her little baby-was the sweetest thing! Bears, Tigers-you name it and they had it!! The kids had a ball seeing animals they had never seen before:)


Next was the World of Coca Cola! Man-was that place crazy cool! They had it all really hyped up like a Willy Wonka factory with the "hidden secrets " being vaulted up and everything-it was pretty funny. Stinger thought it was a real hoot!LOLOLOL
    They started off with a video that no one has seen-which was really cool-it was anmated and explained the magical process inside of a picked cola inside a machine. We then went into this "vaulted room" where we were shown the vault-LOLOL then another where we were bubbalized-sooo cool. Last was the tasting room where we got to taste a bunch of sodas made by Coca Cola ard the world-which was really cool-some of the flavors where horrid though-LOLOL-what a great time we had!!:) We each got our very own souvener-a bottle of Coke from The World of Coca Cola!!

On Our Way.......

 It took us 3 days to get there.......didnt stop for much but rest stops every 2 or 3 hrs and hotels to sleep each night. We were sooo excited to get there!!!!!! We stayed in some small quante little towns which was really fun-some that were reallllly interesting....some states are really backwards... We played license games like I used to as a kid and all the kiddoes were sucking on their large gobstoppers-also had when I was little on those long road trips:) LOLOL. DVD players going, and alot of drawing going on....

We woke up bright and early, had yummy hotel breakfasts and nice picnic lunches every day-it was really neat to be somewhere different every day!! We tried to find hotels that had a pool so after a long drive everyone could relax and enjoy a soak-the kids loved this!!




But after 3 long days-we MADE IT!!!! WHOOT!!!!!!!!:)
  
Our week in ATLANTA up next:
