Full Life

I just wanted to share a few reasons why I haven't been Blogging lately...the photos say it best

The Kids first Drive-In Movie...we had to drive an hour and a half to get to it...but we had a blast.  We took a picnic dinner relaxed and watched Despicable Me 2...very funny by the way.  We didn't stay for RIPD of course.  The Swan Drive-In Theatre took me back quite a few years.  If your in Blue Ridge Georgia check it out.

Tent camping at Vogel State Park Georgia...giggles and laughter, not to mention getting soaked in the rain (we decided to just go with it and sing in the rain) is what we did all weekend long.  Vogel is one of my favorite places to camp.  It is just west of Blairsville Georgia and near Brasstown Bald the highest point in Georgia.

A trip to the Etowah Indian mounds...you didn't think I would let the Summer slip by without throwing in something educational.  Shhh...don't tell the kids they were learning something. Not to mention all the stairs we climbed on the three mounds.  The Mounds are in Cartersville Georgia and have picnic tables out front but our favorite place to picnic is down by the river under the trees.

We also Monkeyed around at Zoo Atlanta...this was educational too.  We got in for free by watching a video at the Library.  How cool is that? You can also take a cooler in here.

So please forgive me for being lax on my blog...but they are the light of my life and I want to bask in it all I can.

TUT COMES TO ATLANTA

This was absolutely amazing! I had been interested in the boy king since I was a child. The first time I heard of him was through Steven Martins song "Funky Tut." Seeing my interest my Mother got me a book about him for my Birthday. In Junior High school my teacher Mr. Boyd had been to Egypt and expanded my knowledge even further. When in Collage I wrote a paper on the Boy Pharaoh and got the highest mark in the class. And now as a Mom I am able to introduce my children to Tuts story. The presentation of the artifacts made them even more breath taking. Alex really liked the toilet seat and all the Gold. Trinity was drooling over the jewelery. I just was so excited to finally get to see Egyptian artifacts in person that I cried. Of course my children understood...Alex patted my back while Trinity kissed my tears off my cheeks. In the gift shop, we found a King Tut ornament for our Christmas Tree to remind us. And laughed for hours about the King Tut tissue box where you pulled the tissue out of his nose.

Later on since I filled there minds with wonderful sights and knowledge I decided to fill there bodies with junk and we hit the Varsity. Where we filled our tummies with Chili Dogs, French Fries and Frozen Oranges. while chatting about all the wonderful things we saw.

We then headed over to Peachtree Street to get a look at Anubis and to get a quick hello from Dad. His building was right on the corner where the Giant statue stood Gard.

I wish I could have taken pictures but they were understandably not allowed.
