Trip to Atlanta

A couple of weekends ago we decided to take Alex to the aquarium in Atlanta. Alex and I had been almost a year ago but John hadn't been with us. We also knew we would be able to see some friends while we were there so we headed out! The pictures are not in order. Sorry!

Alex with Beau Butler-Brian and Alicia's little boy. He is so cute! He looks so much like Brian to me. He can make some crazy faces too if he's upset-it's hilarious! We got to meet them for lunch on our way out of town Sunday. When I told Alex we were going to see a new friend, Beau, he looked at me and said, "BIG BOAT!" Guess he misunderstood:) But by the end of lunch he was ready to go play at Beau's house.

With Deepo-The aquarium's version of Nemo.


He loved all the little kids around. He would just work his way by a group of them or sit next to one and look at the fish. He found this little girl before we went in to the movie and they laid down and people watched.


We got to eat with Gibby, his wife, Crystal, and Kelly and her little boy, Lucas. I realized after we left them that I didn't get one picture with Lucas and Kelly-maybe next time! Crystal is an elementary teacher and the way she talked to Alex was so cute. Alex really liked her!

With Deepo.

Watching his penny spin round and round.

Trying to touch a stingray-but everytime one would come by he would pull his hand up.

He's never really messed with my camera before but he wanted to take his own picture this time. He did pretty good!


At first Alex didn't even want to step foot into our hotel room. I realized he hasn't stayed in a hotel room since he's become so aware of everything around him. It was dark in the room and finally we found some lights and he just looked around. It was about 9pm and he didn't want to put his pj's on or take his shoes off. But he eventually warmed up to it! He loved to play guitar on the chair and play trains in the closet.:)

After the aquarium we went across the street to this park. It was really hot, so we didn't stay long.




Looking at the beluga whales!

He wanted to go see another "big movie(that is what he says in the video)" so we went to this 4D movie about Deepo and his friends under the sea. When you asked him what he wanted to do this is what he would say.
