visit from mimi and papa

A couple weeks ago my parents came to spend the week with us before schools started again.  We all had a great time and took quite a few field trips.  

The boys and I took them to Zoo Atlanta for the day because zoos are awesome and that was one they'd never been to.  Apparently it was really bad when we were little and they felt too bad for the animals to go see it.  Birds are one of my dad's favorite things so Micah and Connor went through the parakeet house and fed them with seed sticks which they had never gotten a chance to do before.

My mom and I snuck away one day to eat at the Blue Willow and do some antiquing.  We both got dressed up, the food was delicious and while the shops weren't the best we'd been to we found an awesome book selection at one.  One of the stores had a bunch of life size dolls in it and the lady who runs it was talking to one of them about their hair.  CREEPY!

On Saturday morning we took them to the Monastery which was totally up my mom's alley.  They recently built on a huge addition with some shops, visitor's center and museum.  Zach and I hadn't had a chance to go there yet so we were excited to finally visit. The boys did great and actually stayed quiet during the historical/day in the life video and the walk through the chapel.  We walked down to the lake to feed the ducks who are known for their bravery in dealing with people.  It didn't both the boys a bit but they freaked me out big time.  

Other events of the week were going to Scoops, breakfast at Dunkin' Donuts, seeing Micah's school, watching the Opening Ceremonies, teaching the Settlers of Catan, daddy mowing the grass, and mama doing the ironing and cleaning my kitchen :)

Great week!
