Can we fix it?

Imagine It! Children's Museum of Atlanta

Can we fix it? Yes, we can!

When we were down in Atlanta for the Thanksgiving weekend Chief, G'Pa, and I were able to check out the Children's Museum of Atlanta. They were sporting a Bob the Builder Exhibit so we just had to check that out! If it involves tool, machines, building, or (de)construction we Yeagers will be there. I don't know if this was the same Bob exhibit that we had here at our children's museum, but it was very similar if it wasn't. I'm not sure if most of these exhibits are like many traveling museum exhibits or not. It was fun, so I don't suppose it matters, but I think I might look into that just to sate my curiosity.

As you can see, we were one of the only groups there that day. By Atlanta standards I think the weather was too cold and too windy. And it was cold and windy! I didn't think it would be like that down there. It was nice to be able to explore the facility with out having to push our way up to activities, though. It really is a nice set up. One large room with different stations to explore, cafeteria style tables to eat at, and a gift shop.

I asked him to jump on Scoop "just like Bob"

I had no idea that moon sand was SO fun! We molded and shaped for quite awhile. I am tempted to buy some for home, but I lack the 10 foot table and janitorail staff to help with containment and clean up.

This water station was cool. It was a water fall design with little pools. It was filled with little "fish" and had fishing poles easily accessible. My only complaint was that instead of aprons they provided rain coats. Most had buttons missing so the child got wet! We ended up purchasing a shirt form the lovely gift shop so he wouldn't be totally soaked when we went to lunch. We would have bought pants if they had those, too!

I'm really glad we decided to go to this musuem. We will absolutley go again when we get back to Atlanta. Fun, fun, fun!

Thanksgiving in Atlanta

Happy Thanksgiving!
This year we flew to Atlanta to spend time with G'Ma and G'Pa. We had a fantastic dinner! Turkey, mash, sweet potoatoes, salads, pumpkin pies, oh my! Did I mention the appitizers? Shrimp, crab dip, brie, nuts, crackers, and more I have forgotten! I swear to you we ate for days!!! Not only was dinner fantastic the cold turkey sandwiches the next day were divine. Is there any thing tastier? My only complaint is that we did indeed eventually run out of food. I suppose the culinary joys of this eat-fest had to come to a close sometime.

Aunt Barb, Aunt Judy, Cousin Allie, Cousin Brian and g'friend Allison, and Aunt D'arcy were all there to join in the feast. People came in from St. Louis, New York City, Saint Paul, and Chicago.

The weather was beautiful on Thanksgiving and we had a smooth flight experience. Of course, the weather turned on us for the rest of our trip. It rained buckets for days after that, but I suppose Atlanta welcomed the water so I can't be too upset.

Dinner table all ready for the feast!
