Georgia Aquarium

Reason #416 why I love homeschooling....... We get to go to area attractions with another homeschooling family on a day without the crowds. -A worker there told us that on this day there was one hundred and some odd people there but two days prior (Sunday) there was over 4 thousand people there. I think that it is safe to say our experience was much more pleasant. And what made it even more enjoyable was we went with a homeschooling friend who has three kids. Plus our aquarium tickets were super duper cheap because it was an off peak day with a mommy and me special! It was a fun day all around. I should also mention that we had an adventure at IKEA (the store) before we even went to the the aquarium. note (for future reference): if you have a 'quad million' little tiny items....don't do the self checkout aisle. And if your purchases take up so much room in the van that the kids have to climb in and out through the hatch door and climb over the seat ...... well, that just adds to the fun.

Thanksgiving 2008

Thanksgiving weekend at G-ma and G-pa Irvin's (in KY). It was a fun weekend with the family. And this video has "Jingle Bells' for the background music b/c it is traditionally a Thanksgiving song not a Christmas song. (but yes even I like to sing it at Christmas time, too)
