A trip to GEORGIA!


So, here we are on the airplane headed to Georgia for 2 weeks. Looks like a lot of fun, doesn't it!?! Amazingly, the kids did exceptionally well on the plane both there and back; it was me that had to make a run for the lavatory on the flight to Georgia...I barely made it in time. Some might look at this picture and say, "Is that legal?" And no, it wasn't legal for all 4 of us to be in the same row...not enough oxygen masks. However, my mom was on the flight with us and kept one of the girls (lap kids) with her most of the time. The flights were good, though. Clate and Halle watched The Little Rascals and The Carebears and were as happy as could be...all 4 hours!!

One of the main highlights of our stay in Georgia was The Georgia Aquarium. If you've never been, I would highly recommend putting it on your to-do list at some point. It's pretty amazing.


Just as you walk through the entrance you come to this wall of fish. They are not very pretty fish, but there are a bazillion of them swimming and swimming and swimming (kind of like me during my triathlon)...the kids were so excited!! That was just the beginning. They had to see everything....fast!!


Luckily, there were places like these that really caught the kids' attention and we got to take a little break and just watch for a while.

The other big event in Georgia was riding grandpa's tractor. I'm not sure who had more fun, the kids or grandpa.


Clate really liked sitting on the tractor, but got a little nervous when it got moving.

Halle tried to takeover the driving.


And Chloe just got to sit on it for the picture.

You're daring to take 3 kids cross-country on a flight! Lucky that your mom went with you. When are you coming to visit?

You are so lucky to have such good kids! I can't believe you took them all on the plane and they behaved so well. We just got back from a trip to Colorado and the drive was he@#! No joke. My two year old is not a good traveler. So count your blessings!
