Boo at the Zoo

Our little lady bug took a little time to warm up, but she had a great time at Boo at the Zoo. Glad we went- she got to say "trick or treat" for the first time! I was proud, she said "thank you" more consistently than the "trick or treat!"

So she's blocking the ghost, but this particular ghost reminded me of Mr. Peanut, so it's ok that she's blocking him!

There was a little kids area with a DJ so we did a little dancing

Learning to "raise the roof"

Well, this is really the "freeze" move from Little Gym, but it doubles as a dance move when needed!

Doing my own thing!

Doing the "cha cha slide"

Watching from the side lines with Daddy

Posing with the Oz cast!

Tried to take this pumpkin home with me, but it was not for the taking.

All good things come to an end, bye bye Zoo!

13.1 Atlanta

I had the ultimate pleasure of joining two of my circles of friends when I ran the 13.1 Atlanta 1/2 marathon with my high school friends, Jaime and Lara, and my post college girls, Lauran and Kristi. It was so much fun (except the running part!) to see my worlds collide :)

My girls: Lara, Jaime, me, Lauran, and Kristi

Me, Kristi, and Lauran all sweaty after the race.

Lara breathing a sigh of relief after it was all over

Lara, me, and Jaime. Jaime is one of my oldest friends (no, not in age!)- the only one I actually keep up with from elementary school. We've known each other since 5th grade, can you believe that?

Kristi, Lauran, and me before the race. Funny, we don't look all fresh and bouncy-- guess it was too early in the morning!

Chris' first game at Sanford Stadium

We went to the UGA v Arizona St game for Chris' first trip to Sanford Stadium. It was a great day, until the rain set in, then it became super soggy. It was clear until about an hour before kickoff then it POURED. It let up a little at kickoff and rained some on and off for the first half. We couldn't take it any more and left at half time, good thing, too b/c the second half of the game was miserable to listen to on the radio, it would've been much worse in person. But they did pull it out and won, literally in the last seconds, with a field goal. We're crossing our fingers for next season at for our dawgs at this point....

Can you say soggy?

Blurry shot of UGA, but we saw him live and in action!

In front of the infamous UGA arch. Being on the campus made me wish I had gone there, but I would never have met my best girlfriends and may never have met my Mr. Wonderful, so I will settle for going there for the games!

The last time we were at Mimi & Pop's house we went to check out their new splash park. Ella Kate loved it, can you tell? And of course, her favorite, the swings just made it even better :)

Random picture of Ella Kate exploring Charleston- she loved the old doors and tried to open every one up and down King street.
