It's Hump Day in Atlanta

Things have been fairly easy-going this week at "The Ritz Moses." Yesterday, Person got off work after lunch and we spent the afternoon shopping with Aunt Hazel and Carol. Auntie has had a difficult time trying to find clothes to suit her style back at home, so we thought a bigger city might have a wider selection. Not much luck for Auntie, but Trent found a Borders Bookstore where we purchased 2 new books for him to read and a new Dora book for Ella. On the way home Aunt Hazel treated all of us to a sundae at Dairy Queen since it was "snack time." Last night, Person fixed a wonderful roast and Don, Carol, and Darryl came over for dinner. We then watched the Braves on t.v. (one of the things Trent enjoys most about Atlanta...you never miss a Braves game because they are always on t.v. here)as they lost their second game to the Cincinnatti Reds.

Since it has rained here almost everyday since we arrived (no joking) we haven't been able to get to the pool as much as we had hoped. It was a bit soggy this morning, so we decided to try our luck after lunch. We were able to spend about 1 & 1/2 hours there before the raindrops started to fall and a small storm moved in. I still believe that we are the only ones using the neighborhood pool which is a bit boring for Trent, but a quick trip to Wal-Mart earlier this week has equipped him with water guns and a small boat. That helped to relieve a little of his bordom. Ella still will not touch the water - I put her in the boat which brought her to tears, so that was the end of Ella in the pool today. She is much happier standing on the side throwing the ball out for Trent to retreive.

Aunt Hazel, Carol, and Don left at lunch time to spend the next few days at cousin Jerry's boathouse on the lake. I believe the plan is for them to be back Friday afternoon so we can go to Stone Mountain for the lazer show that night. If the weather holds out, we are going to try to take the kids to another Braves game tomorrow night and Sunday night. This will be the final chance Trent has before we go back home - there's not another home game until July 31st. I really wanted to take him to today's 1:00 game since his favorite pitcher, John Smoltz (who is now off the DL) was starting. However, I don't believe it would've worked with Ella in tow. Do I really look that dumb???

So that's about all the news I have for now. It looks like Saturday we will be taking off to the new Georgia Aquarium downtown...Pops is very excited about that one! I will update again when there's new news to share. I hope all is going well at home - remember to leave us a comment and let us know how you are all doing.
