first, we went to Edgefield.. [granny & papa's]..
kayla and dalton (marty's boy).. they're both 5 i think.. wow!
mom and braxton (marty's youngest)..
granny, papa, and dad.. <3
Friday...
then, we left for the great city of Atlanta!!
kayla has discover 'fortune tellers!'
..very cute! ..when you get to the fortune part, she laughs and says.. 'ha! ha! ..you are a cat!' or 'you are a dog!' ..it's quite funny.. i tried to reason with her and suggest maybe i'll have a dog as a pet.. rather than actually be a dog! ..you would think it might register, but i don't think it ever did! :) ..
the Georgia Aquarium..
we spent a good 3 1/2 hours in that massive place.. mom said it was the biggest in the US.. very nice indeed!! :)
..silhouettes.. (wow; i had to look that one up!)
..real big fish!!
..mini-me.. :)
photo-opp?
..not sure the point of this.. the one in myrtle is actually much better.. i think it's supposed to put you in the scene.. except north georgia is actually experiencing a drought right now, so they skipped some of their usual water-sights.. i was thinking this might have been one of them.. ??
just plain cute..
that night we checked into our hotel at Stone Mountain Park...
dinner, i mean dessert, at the in-house restaurant..
(sprinkle-covered ice cream!! ..mmmm!)
...with cherries for dad ;)
..after dinner kayla and mom had to check out the indoor/outdoor pools and dad and i spent some nice chill time back in the room...
mom brought her computer to do some business for dad.. of course i couldn't resist trying out the internal camera!! :) ...horton liked it too!! :)
then we made it on the shuttle in time for the laser show at 9!
..i didn't get any shots of the actual laser-lights, but kayla and i did have fun with our shadows and on the shuttle ride! :
funny faces...
..more silly..
fun with sister.. :)
Saturday...
Stone Mountain Park...
the glorious carving..

on the top!!
mom's favorite..
..i think i took a picture every time we walked by..
..visiting the glass blower..
ahhh!
boat ride..
After we were completely worn out from our full day at SMP, we had to spend some time at the excellent hotel pool!! ..while dad relaxed in the room of course ;)
she's such a STAR!
mom and i had spa-treatments.. she picked pedicure!!
..i picked massage!! ..mmmm...
of course she had to do her hair before we went to dinner..
(standing on the toilet so she can see herself better....
...told ya she was a STAR! ;)
the amazing view from our restaurant porch...
Sunday..
getting ready for the ride home..
helping daddy get the bags to the car..
bary (the bear), her 'fortune-tellers' and the cheetah girls..
..i'd say she was set..
..i was pretty content myself!!
happy times.. we even made it home in time to see our favorite people..
..thank God for anna (kayla's bff) and jeremy or we might not have been so eager to get home!!
