First Time in Atlanta... Part 2!

Atlanta adventures continues...

Little Zaylie let me help pull-out her first tooth the night we got back from the Aquarium. She had been wiggling that little tooth all day long and it was just barely hanging on, but she was a little nervous to get the last bit out. So dental assistant aunt to the rescue! haha! She did so great and was so excited when we got it out! I just love that little toothless smile! 

We went to this cute little town one day and walked the streets looking at all the shops and boutiques. We found a cute sandwich shop to have lunch at, and of course we had to have some dessert! They had so many delicious cupcakes, oh man were they good! My favorite was the chocolate chip cookie dough cupcake with cookie dough frosting! It was amazing! 

Any free time we had, Zaylie and Nathan were at the pool! Zaylie loves to be in water, but wouldn't swim more than 2 feet away from the steps. By the end of the week tho, Nathan had her swimming across the pool, jumping into the pool, and floating on her back! It was so fun to watch Nathan teach Zaylie and to see her trust him! It was always a hard task to get those two out of the pool! They never wanted to leave, even if it was raining!

On our last day in Atlanta, my dad took us all to hike Stone Mountain. There is a walk-up trail on the west side of the mountain that even little kids can handle for the most part! Zaylie and Titan had fun being able to walk up the mountain themselves. 

It gets pretty windy up at the top, so my dad brought some kites for the kids to fly! 

We hung out on the top for awhile, flying kites, eating snacks and enjoying the view!

Nathan and Zaylie had a fun trip down the mountain! It was so cute to watch them play and hold hands all the way down!

So after hiking up a mountain in the hot sun, some pool time was much needed!! 

The sisters in our matching sunglasses! Pink for Malarie, green for Shantay, and blue for me.. perfect match!

The next morning Jason, Nathan and I had to fly back to Utah. Our flight was super early, that we had to be at the airport by 5:30 in the morning! It was rough! This is what we all looked like for the majority of our flights back. Haha!

We had some great times in Atlanta with my family! It was a nice vacation and great to spend some time with everyone before we moved! Atlanta is a beautiful place and I can't wait to go back and visit to see more of it!

First time in Atlanta... part 1!

Well it's been awhile since I posted last, and quite a bit has happened since then... So here's to catching up! It might take a couple of posts tho! 

When Nathan and I got back from Washington, intense packing mode began! We spent the month of May getting ready to move to Michigan with packing up our things, spending lots of time with friends and family and saying lots of goodbyes. :(

We were lucky enough to have one last vacation before we headed off to Michigan tho. A Hahn reunion! In the beginning of June all of us Hahn kids and our families that were still in the west flew out to Atlanta to visit our mom, dad and little sister who moved out there at the end of last year. It was fun to travel with everyone, especially with my niece and nephew! They were both so excited to fly on a plane. Titan had a blast in the airport, looking at all the airplanes and couldn't wait to get on one!

It was a long day of traveling...Nathan and I had finished packing up the apartment the night before, and woke up at 5am the next day to drive down to the SLC airport. While waiting to board our first flight, we met a little friend that kept us all entertained! Zaylie and Titan had so much fun watching him run around behind our chairs! Zaylie wanted to take the little guy with us on the plane! Haha!

              So after a 3 hour drive, two flights and a 3 hour layover we all finally arrived in Atlanta, tired and hungry, but happy to see everyone and excited to be there! My parents took us all out to a Dwarf House Chick-fil-a for dinner then we headed back to their house and caught up with each other for a bit before heading off to bed! 

We woke up the next morning to my dads famous french toast with buttermilk syrup breakfast, which of course was delicious! Then, we all got ready and headed out to Turner Field for a Braves baseball game! It was hot and humid and so great! haha! We had a great time at the game, doing the famous 'tomahawk chop' and almost witnessing a 'no-hitter'! After awhile the kids needed a break, so their mom and aunt malarie walked them around and ended up finding a pitching booth. Of course the kids wanted a turn! So first Zaylie showed us her t-ball skills, which were actually pretty good! A couple of her pitches got up to 19 mph! That's pretty impressive for a 6 year old if you ask me! Then it was Titan's turn! He had so much fun throwing all the baseballs! When he was done he went around and helped the workers put all the baseballs back in the bucket, it was so cute!

My sister Malarie turned 16 in May, and since all of us siblings couldn't be there, we decided to throw a 'sweet 16' pool party for her when we all got here in June! So after the baseball game we all got into our swimming suites and headed to the pool! It was perfect, since we were so hot from being at the game, the pool was very refreshing!! After we swam for a couple of hours, and after we finally got Nathan and Zaylie to get out of the pool, we went back to the house for dinner and birthday cake!

Titan was a little unsure about the water at first... 

The slide was broken... but no worries, Nathan still found a way to go down it! ;)

The next day we all went to the Georgia Aquarium! Such a fascinating place! When we first got there we went straight to the Dolphin show they have! There were about 6 dolphins that performed jumps, flips and tricks to tell a story! Such a great show, I never get tired of seeing shows like that! Nathan and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves at the aquarium! I'm amazed at how many species Nathan could name! He really is a water boy! We both could have spent all day there and never gotten bored! So many fascinating creatures to look at and learn about!

Zaylie and Nathan being buddies as always!

 This HUGE Manta Ray was doing flips, over and over and over again! I think he was showing off his mad skills! ;)

 All 4 of the whale sharks swam right by each other at the same time! 

 PENGUINS!!! They had this tunnel for little kids to go through  (and of course Nathan and I had to try it out!) and it takes you under the penguins exhibit and you pop up inside of it, so you are up close and personal with those penguins! So fun!! They were all so cute!

The best shirts ever!!
