We had quite an eventful holiday weekend here in Atlanta. Grandma Scott was here because she is babysitting this week while daycare is closed. So, we spent the weekend doing “touristy” things like visiting the Botanical Gardens and the Georgia Aquarium. It was pretty fun. The Botanical Gardens has a great children’s area and Hailey had a very fun time climbing on stuff, falling in dirt and partaking in other such toddler activities. The best part about the weekend was realizing what does and doesn’t entertain her. For example, slide and jungle gym – not at all entertaining…stairs going down to the play area – big fun! Giant seals at the aquarium – no…red ball floating in the seal tank – highly entertaining! Watching beluga whales swim around – no…running the wrong way through the exhibits – lots of fun! Here we are taking Hailey all over the city to entertain her, and she’s entertained by the smallest things. It’s really quite amusing and should teach us all to appreciate everything around us from the mundane to the extraordinary!
One other funny note: I gave Hailey an old purse to play with. Her new favorite game is to walk around with it on her shoulder, but it's too heavy so she has to keep her hand on her head as she walks around. It's hysterical. I'll try to get a picture!

Uh-huh...reminds me of the time your mother and I took you to the aquarium in Niagara Falls (or was it in Florida with grandma...can't remember). You found nothing interesting in the entire experience...and promptly fell asleep in my lap during a "killer whale" performance at the big tank. Funny the things you remember!
Love,
Dad
heehee... my mom loves to tell the story about how they used to take us to museums when we were little, and in one of the museums, my mom was yelling at me for running around and said, "do you see any other kids running around behaving badly", and i replied, "i don't see any other kids here". that showed her - don't try to culturize me! :) - nikki
You never know what will entertain them! That kind of reminds me when people say... forget the present... just give them the box! Wish I would have listened... I could have saved tons of money in those early years!
Wearing the purse was always cute... wait till she wears your boots and heels!
Love,
Aunt Nancy
