7. She can tell our dog Rusty to speak and he actually does it.

1st Trip to the Georgia Aquarium

This was a very last minute thrown together trip but I am so pleased with the outcome. Emmry and I planned a play-date with Brittany and Gracie Rowland to have a mother-daughter day at the Georgia Aquarium. Since our girls love animals... this is the second best place (Zoo would have been better but it was too cold). We loaded up our girls and off we went with GPS in hand. This is the first time either of us have gone to Atlanta without our husbands so I don't know if it was a bit of excitement that we were doing something on our own or if we were scared about doing it on our own. Note: we made it safely! =)

Gracie and Emmry absolutely loved the aquarium, Emmry even put her hands in the water to pet the stingrays! (I won't even do that). The day was very adventurous and only just a few fits were pitched during the entire day. I'd say that is very good considering we were with an 18 month old and a 13 month old! Here are some pictures from our trip.And this is how our wonderful mother-daughter day ended. Sleeping Beauties!!
