Well it is that time again...back to school!!! The summer has just went too fast for me and the boys. I still have so much I want to do with them before August 9th but we did have fun the past couple of days. I took off work so we could just get up and go/do whatever came to mind. We slept in on Thursday and left the house around lunchtime heading to Birmingham. We went to the Southern Flight Museum, McWane, and Vulcan. The boys favorite was the Southern Flight Museum. Chris was all smiles being around all those airplanes. If this boy doesn't get a pilot's license or become a pilot-he will have missed his calling. He has loved planes his whole life.
On Friday, we went to the Georgia Aquarium and World of Coke with my mom, Dalton and Courtney. Alex was our tour guide through World of Coke since he went on a field trip there before school got out. We loved the 4D movie and tasting all the different flavors from all over the world. My favorite was from South Africa--Bibo pine nut--it was coconut...yummy! The Beverly was nasty!! We all got our free coke but Courtney's exploded on the way home. It was quiet scarring. It sounded like a gun shot...
Mom loved the aquarium! She was just amazed. Mom never goes anywhere to see anything. It is different from the Tennessee Aquarium. I liked it alot better because there seems to be more to see. The boys loved the sharks and could have sat there and watched them swim the entire day. We got to see them feed the whale shark which was neat. Mom's favorite part was the tropical fish. She liked the pink ones of course! Then it was time to end home.
On Saturday, we just stayed around the house and the boys swam. We decided late afternoon to go get something to eat and go to the movies to see Despicable Me. I took the boys to Fugi's. They have never been there before and we sat on the chef side. They loved that part well, Alex did not like watching his food being cooked right in front of him. He said it made him sick to his stomach to see the raw food. They both got nicknames from the chef. Chris was no eyebrows (he said the fire burned them off) and Alex was skinny boy! We got to celebrate Alex's birthday again with the Japanese celebration song, ice cream and a hat! Then it was off to the movies then home to swim again. And to end the weekend, the boys are off to Georgia for a few days at Grandmommy/daddy's farm! What a way to end summer fun!
