Zoo Atlanta
It’s that time of year again, time to visit Zoo Atlanta. As always, we had a terrific time, though it was in the 90’s. A nice addition this year was a splash fountain for the kids. Hope you enjoy the pics!!
Parakeet Aviary- we got to feed the birds
Glenda Giraffe- Penny was lucky enough to be one of the few to feed her. When it was Teddy’s turn, he unfortunately dropped his stick down on the ground which seemed to upset Glenda and she ran off (though Steve was able to get a good shot of her looking a little annoyed)
Lion Den-
Gorillas and Orangoutangs
Panda Bears-
(on our way to see them)
Much needed break to play-
Kidzone- including petting zoo, carousel, train and splash fountain
Botanical Gardens
On Tuesday after a wonderful lunch at Antico, best pizza I have ever had, we head to Atlanta Botanical Gardens. The gardens were beautiful, full of lush gorgeous plants, magical living sculptures, and they even had a childrens’ garden full of interesting plants, fountains, play equipment, and themed areas. To say Penny and Teddy had a blast would be an understatement. They were able to spend the afternoon running around in a beautiful setting, even got to play in a brief but strong summer shower. It was an enchanting day for all!
Firework fun
We were treated last night to a firework display put on by Grandma and Grandpa’s neighbors. Â Teddy slept through it, but Penny was having so much fun, we decided to play with sparklers after the show. Â 
Visiting Granny
We are so happy to be in Atlanta and get to visit Granny, Penny and Teddy’s Great Grandma. Â We have gotten to go twice to see her, once to celebrate Penny’s birthday and then yesterday to visit. Â Teddy was excited to push Granny around in her wheel chair while Penny told Granny all about our visit and what we have been doing. Â Can;t wait to go visit her again soon!!
