One million fun...

In Parker language One Million Fun is pretty much the top notch of fun... When I was working on downloading these pictures, he asked what I was doing.I told him I was trying to tell about our trip to Atlanta. He says..."Oh, well it was one million fun...we played with Anna and Andrew, we went to the Aquarium,  and we went to Legoland!" (He then added and I got in trouble for being a little whiny a couple of times when I shouldn't...well honesty is the best policy). I agree we had a top notch trip and since I had no title yet...One Million fun it is!  Who couldn't have fun with some of our favorite people in a fabulous place!


From our first moments in town, the kids were excited to play with Anna...she thinks of everything fun for them!


Here is the hotel pool...this is kind of a strange picture of Parker but I liked the way it shows the buildings in the background.



The hot tub...always a favorite for Parker but the ladies are just soaking their feet.


On our first night, we took an exciting "city" adventure to the aquarium for their night hours.




A first trip on the Marta "train" was so exciting.




 We had a great time at the Aquarium...



We saw lots of beautiful and cool marine life...favorites including garden eels, whale sharks, and penguins.




We walked back though Olympic Park...found this statue of a man who helped start the Olympics.



Olympic Rings Fountain Show...



As if that wasn't enough fun, we headed to Legoland in the morning. I did not get good pictures here because my old camera doesn't do well with movement...which we had a lot of! Just so you can get the feel of all things lego, here are a few of the pictures.



Here is little Mini Land....all I can think of is how I can barely put together the 15 piece sets:)



Lots of pictures of the back of heads because they were too engaged in all the fun.




Parker enjoyed making his own Lego racer!



And if you know Tinley, you know how much she enjoyed the "pink" lego area..complete with a pink microphone for karaoke. Closest we found to something she knew was Jackson 5 ABC..She knows the ABC part!


Are we tired yet...not tired enough not to be really excited to play with Andrew!

Parker kept asking when he was coming back so they could wrestle...boys will be boys!


Some quick touch ups before we left...girls will be girls!


Andrew found a really cool fondue place that had a pirate atmosphere with one real live alligator named Pinnochio. It was too dark for most of my pictures to show up. I am going to keep this one of the great food and fondue experience so I can remind Parker when he is older that he didn't want this because he'd rather have a happy meal. I on the other hand am certainly old enough to appreciate all that yumminess!


Here are some random pictures of our last day. Shopping with a costume change, walking, big leaves for Parker's collection, quicker than planned park visit...and some exhausted kids. We had one last wrestling/dance party before saying our goodbyes...isn't that how everyone celebrates the end of a trip?



Thanks to Anna and Andrew for their love, fun, and patience for the Bullis family! We all love you!






PS- Happy Belated Birthday to Anna...July 13! Hope this is the happiest of years!
