Ooohhh and Aaahhh

The boys and I took a quick jaunt to Atlanta last week to visit Grandma and Grandpa Hermie.  Oh, how these people are a blessing in our lives.

We also finally made the trip to the Georgia Aquarium.
It was the first trip for young and old alike, and it was aww inspiring for us all.

Atlanta Aquarium

The giant tank with whale sharks and manta rays was one of the most amazing things I've ever seen.

The boys agreed.  Anything that gets 5 and 6 year old boys to sit for 45 minutes you know is impressive.

This is my favorite. Watching the seahorses. Boys on the ledge for a close up view. Grandma and Grandpa close by keeping them safe. Grandpa wearing Grandma's purse. The boy's faces in the reflection.

The color of this tank was amazing.

A tank of daddy's nightmares, but the colors were fantastic.

The pre-departure photo opp. It was bright, yo.

Linking up with Beth's You Capture: Life. How amazing is my life that these people I love, who have more than 70 years between them, are loving and enjoying this together?

PS - I wish I had done some research on photography inside aquariums, because this was a challenge.

Challenge? Those pictures are amazing. Here's the deal. You and your camera are invited to every family vacation I ever take from here on out. Done. Hope you're excited for trips to aberdeen....

Taking pictures at places like an aquarium is so challenging... these are beautiful! Love the expressions on your kid's faces as they look in the tank.
