August at Camp Mom

For the first two week of August, the three kids were at camp mom.  We sat down and made a list of what they wanted to do before school started and then spend two weeks checking off each item on the list.  We also had lots of "field trips"!  The kids definitely enjoyed spending lots of time together.  I know Avery will especially be sad when school starts and she isn't with the boys as often.

Highlights included - lots of pool time, doughnut tasting contest from Sublime donuts, Acworth Beach, Children's Museum, World of Coke, High Museum, Chuck E Cheese.

Doughnut Tasting - We tasted 5 doughnuts and the cookie one won with a perfect score (six check marks).

Acworth Beach - We spent the day enjoying the sand, playing in the lake, having a picnic lunch and checking out the playground.  The boys found a clam and build a habitat for it with items they found in the lake.

Children's Museum - Avery didn't want to leave the food area and the boys loved the balls.  The special exhibit was Blue Man Group.

World of Coke - The kids were especially playful today despite the drizzly weather.  The kids got to hold an Olympic torch and  enjoyed meeting the Polar Bear.  But not surprising, their favorite place was the taste testing room.  The boys picked out their favorite drinks from each continent.

High Museum - The kids got to make Fans and go on a kids tour to learn more about some pieces.  They also got Art Boxes to take home with art supplies.  Their favorite part was the Merry Go Round exhibit in the courtyard.

Chuck E Cheese - We somehow spent 3 hours at Chuck E Cheese and it wasn't awful ;)  The kids had a blast playing game.  And the boys ran into some school friends.  

Avery's Birthday Celebrations

Avery was fortunate to get to celebrate her birthday several times with various celebrations with family and friends culminating with a big joint neighborhood birthday party.  For her actual birthday she wanted Mexican for dinner.  The she got to celebrate with Pops and Emme one night and Mimi and Uncle Reid another one.

Happy Birthday Smyrna

For Smyrna's annual birthday celebration we continued our tradition of an evening at the Gomez house and watching the fireworks.  The kids always have fun and while we always plan to make it over to the actual celebration, we always get caught up in the good company and good food.

Boys played Ring Around the Rosey with the little girls
