Good times!

Playing with Aunt Lonnie and making a castle!

Landon was very excited that we had a new visitor!

 This road reminded Lauren and I of a scary story that our Dad's used to tell us when we were little!

 Hanging out on our back porch.  Elle loves her food and really loved feeding Aunt Lonnie.  :)

 More playing!

 We got to have an 'adult' night and went to The Salt at The Ritz Carlton!  It was an amazing night and so yummy!  When you call to make reservations they always ask if you are celebrating anything, so we decided we would celebrate our bdays together (we were smack dab in the middle of both) and Paul's departing of the Navy.  The food was delicious and the wine was wonderful.  Lauren gave Paul and I a great lesson on wine tasting.  It was a great night!!  Thank you again Uncle Chris!!

 Spending time at the pool.  Little Ms. Elle was having a fabulous time.  :)

 Swimming with Aunt Lonnie!

 Landon giving GG a nice little hug.

 These 2 were attached to the hip the whole trip!  :)

 The day after dropping Lauren off at the airport, this is what I got...2 tired little kiddos after a great weekend with their Aunt!

The Zoo with Aunt Lonnie!!

Aunt Lonnie came to town and we had an amazing time!!  Landon immediately claimed Aunt Lonnie (his God Momma) as his new best friend and loved having someone there to just play with him building block castles, and roaring like a dinosaur!  When we tried to tell Landon that Aunt Lonnie's name is Lauren, he would say "NO it is Aunt Lonnie!!" haha.  Gotta love the mind of a 3 year old.  And of course, our little snuggle bug Elle loved being held and playing with Aunt Lonnie too!!  On her first day here we went to the zoo!  It's not a hidden fact that we LOVE the zoo!  :) 

Checking out the bald eagles!!

Quick pic together!!

Landon loves to hold hands...so sweet.

Beautiful animal!

Riding a zebra!

This little monkey was hilarious.  Just hanging and checking everyone out. 

Time for a double stroller haha!  Landon likes to ride on the back of this stroller, but only for a while!  But, it gets the job done!! 

It's hard to see, but that is a giant snapping turtle...TESTUDO!!!  Go Terps!

Landon was so excited to see what animals were next!

Love the giraffes!

Elle got really excited to see them too!

Aunt Lonnie and Landon fed the giraffes. 

Yuck..look at the tongue...and Landon's face haha.

Wow that was fun!!

Elle really enjoyed walking around and checking out the animals too!  She's growing up too fast!

Simba and Nala...beautiful.

Once we got home, the kiddos passed out...in fact we all did!!  Lauren rocked Elle for just about a minute before she fell asleep on her shoulder...so sweet.  It's pictures like this that makes me think she is still just a baby...not a curious little soon to be toddler. 

Landon crawled into our bed and this is how we found him. 

We had a great time at the zoo!!

Awesome Atlanta

Downtown Marietta...I have a feeling we will be spending a lot of time down here.  

It was pretty chilly just 5 and a half hours north of FL.  This will take some getting used to.  :)

We ate at a little Italian restaurant and felt like we were in 'The Lady and The Tramp' Disney movie.

My kissy moment with Landon just like in the movie...except no spaghetti noodle.

Love this face!

Elle and Daddy had their own kissy moment.  Elle finished her kiss by saying, MUAAHHH.

At the GA aquarium..this place was awesome!!!

Wow, a whole room walls and ceiling full of fish!

Landon was in awe.

That is a baby whale shark and Paul showing us just how big this thing was!

Daddy and Elle watching the fish swim.

That thing could swallow us whole!

I love these pictures.

The loves of my life.  :)   ...and the super cool fish haha.

Awesome!

I could spend hours in this room.

Elle was mesmerized.

Quick pic with Momma!

God created some really amazing creatures!

In the tunnel!

At the penguin exhibit, you could crawl in a tunnel and pop up and stand right next to the penguins...Landon loved it.

The aquarium is the best place in the world!!  :)

Watching the dolphin show!  Elle sat in her very own seat...she's growing up too fast!

Trying to touch a baby shark...that apparently doesn't bite...we hoped haha.

There is an awesome park in the middle of the city.  We will definitely be spending a lot of time here!

The kids loved Atlanta!

On our way home we saw this in a little ho-bunk town. 

Elle being silly.

Landon did great on the ride home!

It was a great week, but Paul and I were spent.  Seeing about 30 houses in one week, exploring a new town/city and doing it all with kids who have to be buckled and unbuckled into their car seats was quite the adventure.  So, to get some tension out, Paul tied my shoelaces together when we were at stop light.  Nice.

Haha, this was one of many stops we had to make for Landon.  But, he's doing great!!!  And had a lot of fun going potty on the side of the road.  :)

And, we made it back to FL...for one more month.  :)
