Atlanta for 4th of July!

We were home from the beach for four days and then hit the road for ATL for the 4th of July holiday with the The Compton Cousins! We hope they like us because we just spent the past week with them at the beach!

Our first stop was at the Georgia Aquarium on Friday. Get there early or suffer the crowds later!

Here is "Jaques" Cousteau...(sorry, couldn't resist!)

Checking out the albino alligator Having a serious discussion regarding whose turn it is to push the elevator button

Silly faces!Webb missed the cue to have a smiley face...Getting refreshed at Bruesters Ice Cream...Emerson decided that Moose's cage was a good place to hang out. Good thing Moose didn't mind sharing!The other mini cousins came over for some chillin' at the pool time!

Webb decided to add goggles and do the slide!

Emerson got brave and jumped from the side!

The boy likes to relax in a float!

I can't decide which of the next two looks like a better beer commercial?

Silly face mini-cousin faces!
