Atlanta! August 2011

We decided to take the small window we had after Eric stopped working and before he started school to visit Aurora. It was so much fun to see this little munchkin and how much she has grown just since February when we were there and saw her last. She started Kindergarten this last week! So crazy. She has grown so much and is still just as cute as ever. It's always so much fun going to visit her- we basically just try to fit as many fun things in a few days as we can. I'm always amazed at the incredible energy levels of a five year old, because I am usually totally exhausted by the end of the day and she is just ready to go, go, go all night!

This trip was more interesting because Aurora's mom warned us she'd been complaining a little of being sick the day before we got her, so we were watching out for that the whole trip. Of course every time we asked her how she was feeling she would say she was fine because she didn't want to stop playing, but she was having a hard time sleeping at night. We gave her lots of children's Tylenol, hoping it would help. By the last night, she was up most of the night crying. Her mom picked her up in the morning and after a visit to the doctor it turns out she had swimmer's ear and strep throat! No wonder she was so miserable!

We still had a blast with this sweet little girl and can't wait to go back and visit again hopefully soon!

Of course, our first and most important stop was to the traditional Chuck-E-Cheeses. Aurora LOVES this place and we always have a blast with the games and rides. Eric and I keep asking each other how long it will be until she is too old to enjoy this place. :) But we will keep taking her there until that day!

Lovin us some Buffalo Wild Wings!

We saw The Smurf's movie in 3D- not my favorite movie, but it was entertaining. We also saw Winnie The Pooh, and we all LOVED that one! A must-see for sure.
