Fernbank {picture heavy}

We are pretty lucky in Atlanta to have so many neat things to do. 

We also have a pretty neat way of finding out about all the goings on around the city.

This Blog

Family Friendly Atlanta.

Honestly even if you don't have kids, she does an amazing job of keeping you in the know about what to do around town.

You can also keep up on Facebook... HERE

About a month ago they hosted a giveaway to Fernbank and we won!

I moved to Ga past the field trip days of elementary school so I had not even been.

It was a first for Jackson and I. 

Nanny had the day off so the three of us headed in 

and went to see what it was all about.

We had a great time walking around and looking at all of the cool exhibits.

Here are the pictures from our visit.

A ball right when we walked in. He didn't want to leave right here.

"High Five Ball"

Hi Goose

I told Nanny we could show everyone this one and say we went to the mnts.

DNA for Shanna :)

Hello?

Wow look...

This is what he was looking at a prehistoric shrimp thing

It was huge and why I just don't like to swim in the ocean now.

He did some reading

and some more...

Notice the bloody scene behind me... nice huh?

We walked through a swamp

pointed and learned about so many things.

Look mommy a sloth.

They have a great experiment room. Remember these?

Can anyone guess what they are doing here?

Being weather man/woman!

Big feet...

Thank you Family Friendly Atlanta we had so much fun!

Bubbles

Hope everyone has a wonderful Memorial Day.

Thank you to all the men and women who have fought and lost their lives for our freedom.

Here is some holiday weekend bubble fun just for your viewing pleasure.

getting the bubbles with his hula hoop. 

 I had to go buy a gallon jug. 

Yep a gallon of bubbles today because we have gone through them so fast this weekend. That should last a couple of weeks at least.

So for $10 you too can have bubble fun with this.

SO.MUCH.FUN.

SATC2 & a GNO {no spoilers}

I won't spoil the movie but, it was fabulous!

Some pic's from the night...

Bathroom outfit shot

All the Ladies

Chin Chin

Headed in...

We laughed, we cried, we laughed again. 

The clothes. TO.DIE.FOR.

I had a very favorite part..."Take a sip".

I hear the critics are not liking so much but,

 I thought it was great and am ready for SATC3.

xoxo

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.

and because really most of you only come to see Bub's...

I'll have to do a bubble post next week. 

Best $10 I have ever spent. 

One More Sleep

I am a fan. 
Let's see...


If you like Glee your a Gleek.

 So if you have watched every episode of SATC at least 20 times 

and even still watch it on TBS what does that make you?

I'm not sure what you would call it but,

Hello Lova.

I mean that song...

Seriously how funny was this episode?

Oh and remember this?

I watched this episode last night.

When you get tired, you take a NAPA. You don't move to NAPA!

How about one of my favorite  SATC quotes ever!

all pictures from we <3 it

Tomorrow night this group of ladies.

and this Special Lady 
{who I have watched and laughed and danced salsa to 
the opening song with for years}
Yep. I watch it with my momma!

Will be getting all dolled up and going to see the new movie at 10pm.
A GNO and SATC night will be a fun and a much needed time for all!

Monday Monday...

This weekend was wonderful.

We did some spring cleaning and yard work that needed to be done.

Mom and I headed off to Whole Foods so I could get some of this.

Natures Gate Pomegranate Sunflower Body Wash.

{I won't even lie. Drew had this at the beach and I feel in love}

If I close my eye's real tight I *almost* feel like I'm back at the beach. It's a yummy summer smell. 

B likes it on me but, says it's a little girly for him. 

He washes with Ivory soap so what can I say. Any smell is too much.

Saturday night they had a member's night at the zoo with some fun characters from children's books.

Clifford, Curious George, Where the Wild Things Are
 and Dancing Pizza (a kids group) were there.
It was fun in an over crowded, hot tent kinda way.
Jackson LOVES George they are on first name basis. So I was excited to see what he would think. He was excited until he was within a two foot range then well... It was the Easter Bunny all over again. 

I have a feeling Santa may be interesting this year. 

I did take a picture but, really he didn't like him. Take my word for it.

All was not lost we did get to ride the train.
This is a phone video so excuse the poor quality.

Love those boys!
How was your weekend?

xoxo

Saturday Lovelies.

Sweet Blueberry Waffle kisses from a certain {almost} 2 year old in the morning as he say's "Tank You Mommy".

All three of us snuggled up in bed watching the Puppies movie and listening to Jackson say his ABC's.

B and I cut each other eye's when he gets all the letters right and we just smile.

Knowing that if he thought we were paying so much attention he would stop.

Knowing that tonight Jackson gets to meet Curious George at the Zoo. He is a huge fan.

{I can not wait to see his face, hopefully it's not horror}

Watching Jackson and Marah as they belly laugh over throwing socks.

Happy Saturday Lovies.

Hope you have a great day!

St. Pete's Oh how we love thee. {take 2}

By day two we had our routine down.

Breakfast. Beach. Shower. Lunch. Nap. Beach. Shower. Dinner. Beach for Sunset. Bedtime.

It was just dreamy. Relaxing. Laid back. 

We were trying to figure out how to just move to the beach. 

Here are the last of the pictures.

You know, because you are all dying to see more. Right?

:)

We made it down to Fort Desoto on Friday. 

Drew had to work that day so we spent the day playing on the beach.

Bub's took a little spill that am and landed on the corner of the bed.

:(

Not that it slowed him down much.

He played so hard everyday. He even fell asleep during lunch one day.

{and this place was loud!}

That  night we took our Strawberry basil lemonade grown-up beverages {yumm}

 and went to play at in the water at sunset.

Well not Jackson he had a sippy of water.

Check out that shirt.

It was so neat to watch Jackson and Drew be buddies.

Having Godparents that love Jackson is so cool for us to watch.

we splashed.

and stomped. 

danced

and played chase

all night.

Thanks Diana for taking family pic's for us.

I love this one!

{that may or may not be pee on daddies shirt}

we watched the sun go down with our friends.

four legged and two.

{this is Daisy}

then headed off to dinner.

The next day we headed out to Pass-a-grille and spent the afternoon on the doggy beach.

So we could let Daisy in on the fun. She is Rachel and Hairy's baby.

We also walked to the pier and met this guy.

He was not so cute like Daisy and Jackson was not to sure about being close to him.

We grilled out that night with everyone and it was time to get ready for our trip home.

On the way home we were the 8th in a nine car pile up that happened in Tampa.

I can tell you that it was only GOD that the car behind us just scraped the bumper on Jackson's side and it wasn't worse. She lost control and was coming at us sideways. It was the most afraid I have ever been in my life. He slept through the whole thing. B and I were both just a mess on the way home after this.

{ I blurred out faces so no faces are in the pic. }

We are home safe and sound. 

Wishing we were still waking up to walk to breakfast at Beverly's 

and heading to the beach.

Thanks Drew for having us down. 

Can't wait to see you and everyone later this year.

xoxo, Ra
