We returned some hats to the Children's Place and Crazy 8s. We got Cleo a cute mermaid t-shirt and cupcake necklace from the Children's Place. We had lunch there. Cleo had pizza and Roger and I ate Taco Bell. Sidney did not eat his Chick Fil A fries that we got him. Cleo ate one whole slice of cheese pizza.
Sunday, we went to church.
Then, we came home and changed into comfortable clothes. The kids and Roger gave me my cards and gifts. Roger printed pictures of me with the kids, added cute comments, and put them on magnets. The magnets are all around 2 inches. I love them.
Then we headed to the Aquarium. We had lunch - pizza again for Cleo. I had salad. Sidney did not eat the pizza we got him. Roger had a burger. I had a chocolate cupcake for dessert. It was decent. Cleo had a cherry Airhead for dessert - it's taffy.
We saw all sorts of fish, sharks, manta rays, frogs and even the dolphin tales show.
Sidney was not so keen on the dolphin tales show. Prior to the start of it, they pump out this mist and Sidney is afraid of steam and mist. I asked him why he was scared and he said he was afraid it would get on him. Well, the show starts and it's sort of a scary tale of this sea creature attacking a ship and dolphins saving the sailors. Cleo enjoyed the dolphins as did Roger and myself. I forgot how much I like dolphins. They were rewarded with a lot of fish after their aerodynamic tricks. During the show, Sidney kept asking if it was over and whimpering, "Mommy, I want to go to my home." I felt bad. Thankfully, the show was only around 30 minutes but felt longer because I knew Sidney was so unhappy.
We took the kids to the Georgia Experience section and Sidney touched a sea urchin, Cleo touched a star fish and Sidney tried to touch a little sting ray but his arm didn't reach.
One of these days we will invest in a real deal camera. I know we need to do it soon since the kids won't be young forever. I wish our camera took more crisp, detailed picture.
Then, we took the kids to see the frogs, which you cannot see in this photo but I thought I would include it because Sidney looks so cute and focused. They both liked the frog exhibit.
As we exited, we took some photos with a decorated dolphin statue.
After taking pictures, it started to rain harder so we made our way back to our parking garage. Then, we got food from Chipotle to go. We went to the one that we used to go to all of the time when we lived in the loft. Ah, the simple life. What did we do with all of our time? :-)
The kids fell asleep in the car on the way home and it was hard to wake them up when we got home. They did not have a real nap on Sunday so they were super tired. We had dinner, gave them baths and attempted to get them to bed early.
I had a wonderful, memorable Mother's Day. I am sad we did not make it to the zoo because of the rain but the Aquarium was pretty great.
Tomorrow, Roger, Cleo and I are going on a tour of Cleo's elementary school. I will write about it soon. Roger will drop Sidney off at daycare in the morning. We cannot take Sidney because he will be too disruptive.
Have a great week!
