We're back . . .

We arrived back into Fort Wayne Monday morning around 1:30, and we still made our kids go to school!!! Hey ~ they were able to sleep in the car. Our trip was wonderful! We had a lot of fun visiting Scott & Tara. Eli ( our little nephew) is adorable. He reminds me of Saige when he was around four months, his disoposition is great and he loves to coo and smile. We enjoyed meeting Tara's family too! Great people!
During the week while everyone was at work and school we took the kids to Atlanta twice, once to go to the Atlanta Zoo and another day to the Georgia Aquarium. The zoo was ok, ours is better, but the aquarium rocked. It's the largest aquarium in the world. It's only been opened since November of 2005. We had so much fun there. The kids loved to pet the sharks and the sting rays. They had beluga whales and four whale sharks. They also had a 4-D theatre, it was soooo awesome, of course the cartoon was 3-D the cool part was the 4-D part, when water splashed in the movie, we ( the audience) actually got splashed, a bubble machine poured out bubbles, when we got caught up in jelly fish ( in the movie) something went across and touched the back of our heads, air shot out of our seats in eerie moments and at the end confetti came down! Bryan and I loved it just as much as the kids did.
Another highlight of our trip was going to the Wildlife Safari. It was so awesome!! We drove a windowless van for about an hour through an amazing wildlife area. We had animal food and we hand fed zebras, giraffes, bison, texas longhorn, cattle, emus, pigs, deer, and goats. It was the coolest thing I think I've ever done. To get that close to these magnificent animals was amazing. They are soooooo huge. You must check out my picture blog and my sara on bebo and see all the neat pics.
We had a great time and except for wanting to sleep in our bed we had no desire to come home. We wish we lived closer to Scott and Tara, we all get along soooo well. Bryan and I hate missing out on Eli growing up! He's at such an awesome stage in his little life. The first year there are so many changes and we're going to miss most them. We'll cherish what we can.
