On Thursday we visited the Center for Puppetry Arts. We started with the morning production of The Cat in the Hat. I had never been to a puppet show, but it was amazing. Teddy was transfixed by the performance, he sat still for the 45 mins and loved it! Penny enjoyed it as well as she knows the story and was really able to follow along with the story. I loved watching it and also enjoyed hearing all the kids laughing at all the jokes. Definitely can’t wait to go to another performance! We then went through the museum which was small but full of puppets from all around the world. We then got to go upstairs and got to make cat and the hat shadow puppets. I can’t say it enough, we really loved going to the Center for Puppetry and encourage all that are in the Atlanta area to go.
Penny and Teddy went to day for their first haircuts. Penny went in wanting a style, and ended up getting a few inches trimmed off while Teddy got a little man haircut. Will post an after shot of Penny at a later date (apparently, didn’t take one 🙁 )
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!
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!!
Despite the rain, after the aquarium we headed to Collidge Park to ride on the carousel. Â It was the most beautiful and whimsical carousel that I have ever seen. Â It took Teddy a few times around to like it, but by the end he was as happy as Penny on the carousel.
Outside the carousel in the park was a beautiful fountain. Â As soon as Penny saw it, she wanted to run around it. Â Since it was already raining, what’s a little more water.
