Hotlanta

A few weeks ago, my mom and I took Luke and Madison to Atlanta to visit my brother!  Jonathan was out of town in Canada so we decided to spend the night!  Luke and Madison stayed in their first hotel!  We had a GREAT time!  We ate yummy food, did some shopping, and went to the children's museum!  Luke and Madison LOVE spending time with Uncle Ryan!!  Thanks for having us in the big city!

 Love this picture!!

 We loved walking a few blocks to eat!  Mom and Madison fit right in!  Cell phones and big purses (Madison insisted on bringing her "purse" too which was a shopping bag)

 The next morning we went downstairs to eat a yummy breakfast!  I think the elevator was one of their favorite parts!

 After breakfast, they changed into their bathing suits and Ryan took them swimming in the indoor pool!!  Swimming in November was so fun!!

 Madison's turn!  This was right before Madison said "Mommy, change my poopy!"  Everyone OUT OF THE POOL!  She had on a swim diaper but they have never pooped in it and I wasn't sure how well it held it :)  Good thing we were the only ones in the pool!  On another note, there was a man checking the water levels when she yelled that!!  You may need to check those one more time sir!  Awesome timing Madison!  Too funny!!  It was a short but fun swim!

 Can you go to a hotel without doing this??  Please don't judge!

 Checking out the city

 That morning we headed out for the children's museum in Atlanta!!  Luke and Madison had a great time!

 Doing some construction with Uncle Ryan

 Luke was happy on the John Deere!

 Shopping!  I know what you are thinking...you have a lot of pictures of Luke but not a ton of Madison.  Well, if you know her then you know why!  She is hard to keep up with!  She runs from one thing to another!!!

 She will pause for the arts :)  She loves to paint and draw!  This was really cool!  The kids could paint on this wall.  They both loved it!

 Beautiful work Madison!

 Making sand cupcakes

 They had a cute station where you could fish!  It had a magnet to catch the fish and Luke caught one!  Look at that sweet, proud face!

 There was a fairy tale section..."O Juliet,  Juliet, wherefore art thou Juliet?"

 Playing the piano

 This cracked us up!!!  There was a class there on a field trip and this sweet lady (maybe their teacher or a mom) was wrapping cloth around her kids so they could perform in front of a huge mirror.  Well, Madison found a cloth and walked right up to her so she could make her one!!  She was sweet enough to do it!

 And here she is!  So funny!  She LOVED it!

Building with HUGE legos!  

Ryan, we had a great time in Hotlanta!!!!  Thank you for letting us come and hang out with you!!  Gabby, thanks for jumping on the crazy train and going with us!   Having 2 two year olds in a car for almost 5 hours total and then in a hotel room overnight was an experience!  They were great though!!  I would do it again tomorrow!
