Gwinnett Braves Game

Last night we went to the Gwinnett Braves game again.  It started raining here at the house so we left pretty close to when the game was going to start.  As it was monsooning here at the house it was not doing any form of rain over at the stadium.  We got some good seats in the stands.  As soon as we walked into the stadium Olivia started saying, "Baseball!!" We got to our seats and she stood for a bit and then it was pass the baby time and everyone had a turn with her.  Then we decided to let her walk around.  The stadium is great and has the berm where you can walk.  So we let her walk.  Since it was so hot and her little cheeks were getting red we bought some ice cream to cool her off.  That hit the spot.  We went back to the seats for a bit and then had to walk for a bit.  We left the game at about 9:30 which was good- no traffic and she didn't cry on the way home.  We kept her pretty entertained though.  We came home and took a quick bath and had some milk and off to sleep!

Georgia Aquarium and Peachtree Dekalb Airport

*** Warning Lots of Pictures***

We took off on an early adventure to the Georgia Aquarium.  We decided to take the 9:00 a.m. time.  We are so glad that we did.  At 9:00 a.m. the aquarium is not that crowded.  Olivia was a little bit crying off and on.  It was a little dark in spots in the aquarium.  By the time we got to the Beluga Whales she finally warmed up.  But she didn't want to sit in the stroller and we took turns holding her.  But overall I think she enjoyed it.  She saw lots of fish and her favorite an octopus! We watched the whale sharks get fed.  She really loved the large fish tank in the tropical region. She was running all over the place. We stopped at the gift shop and got a few new books.




After the aquarium we went to the Peachtree Dekalb Airport.  We saw in the newspaper a few weeks ago about the cool playground they have there.  The playground is right next to the runway.  We decided to have lunch at The Downwind which is inside the airport.  It overlooks the runway and we got to see lots of planes land and take off.  We went to the playground after lunch for a few minutes because it was so hot. Then we came home.  Olivia slept most of the way home after we worked on saying her name.  Then when we came home everyone took a nap.  It was a fun day!

I ate my spaghetti and had some cupcake for dinner!
