Visiting Pops and Purson in Atlanta...again

Here we are in Atlanta...our 3rd trip! Trent, Ella, and I arrived last night and will be staying here until Thursday. As I type, Trent and Pops are in the kitchen cooking dinner and Ella is finishing up her nap.

Today I took the kids back to the Fernbank Museum. We bought a family membership last summer and were not able to see everything so today we went back and were able to accomplish it all. Some of the things were the same as last time but they did have a few new things to play with. Here are a couple of pictures and a short video of our outing.


Ella feeds the baby birds in the interactive Life in Georgia exhibit. She really enjoyed this exhibit last summer.

This is the tree house in the middle of the Life in Georgia exhibit.

Where's Ella???? She's learning about camouflage, of course! This is a vest the kids wear and then they are able to stand in front of the colored boards and look at themselves in a mirror. It is pretty neat.

Trent and Ella learn more able plant and animal life in the state of Georgia. Here they see if they can snag any native fish of the state.

Trent enjoys catching Blue Crab in his net. Another sea animal native to the state.

Ella remembered making bubbles from this summer. She was excited to get to do it again.

Trent thinks he looks like Harry Potter in this picture.

The Fernbank has a great dinosaur display. This walk-through exhibit takes you through the entire scientific history of the state from the earliest one-celled organisms that lived millions of years ago, through the age of the dinosaurs, and into the present day.


Trent remembered the weatherman display from this summer so it was high on his list of things to revisit. Last time Ella wasn't to excited about it but this time she seemed to do a little better.
