Our Trip Downtown February 19, 2008

Last week we thought it would be fun to go downtown and meet up with Brad after work.  We picked him up and headed to the Children’s Museum.  The kids had a lot of fun and it worked out great because it was free day!  Carter loved all the train tables and Cammie just loved running around seeing other kids.  It was good we went on the free day because I didn’t think it was worth $10 a person!

After the museum, we went across the street to Centennial Olympic Park.  The kids played on a really cool playground and just ran around the park.  It’s right across from the Georgia Aquarium and World of Coca-Cola.  The weather couldn’t have been more perfect, Sunny and 65 degrees. 

For dinner we headed over to Fellini’s pizza, an Atlanta favorite for 25 years.  Then on our way back home we saw the “HOT NOW” sign at the downtown Krispy Kreme and it beckoned us to stop.  We all had sprinkle doughnuts in the shape of a heart for Valentines day.  I think this was Cammie’s (and Brad’s) favorite stop of the night! 

 We had a great time seeing some of the sights of downtown Atlanta.  The lights of the city are so pretty at night!  Here is a link to my web album where you can see our pictures:

All-American Boy February 19, 2008

A couple weeks ago on Super Tuesday we were watching the primary results.  Carter asked “What are you watching?”.  We told him “We are watching who might be the next president of the United States of America.”.  After we said that, he started saying the Pledge of Allegiance.  I couldn’t believe that he knew the pledge!  He’s only three!!  I couldn’t even say it in Kindergarten!  Here is a video I took of him that night(sorry for the poor lighting):

Gladiators Ready!! February 13, 2008

For a while now, Carter has been really into his guns.  No, not the real ones, the bicep ones!  It all started when my dad, Gramps, showed him how to “flex his guns”.  Now he loves to show them off to everyone.  He is always asking if his dinner will make his guns grow really big.  I guess this is why he is loving the American Gladiators show.  He loves to watch them do the obstacle course.  It used to be one of my favorite shows when I was younger.  I used to stay up late Saturday nights to watch.   I doubt there’s much chance of Carter becoming a Gladiator but for now he thinks he is!
