Bailey's Big Day

Bailey got her very first library card today. She picked out 10 books and 3 dvds. Our neighborhood library, Mountain View, just reopened after undergoing renovations. Bailey has a whole new children's wing to enjoy.

Gymnastics

Bailey had fun at gymnastics today. She was the youngest one there, but she did a great job of keeping up with the other kids. Her favorite part was jumping on the mini trampoline. She was able to impress everyone with her flips too!

It's PJ Day

Today was Pajama Day at school for Bailey. After A LOT of consideration, she finally decided on her Disney Princesses gown. Due to the weather we had to layer and then layer again underneath. Notice that she even got to wear her bunny slippers. They also were allowed to bring a stuffed animal/doll to class. So Barbie got to go to school...AGAIN.

Line Leader

Thursday was an exciting day for Bailey. She was selected to be line leader, snack bringer, and show and teller at her school. She talked about it for days before. When the day finally came, she was excited to take 2 of her favorite Barbies and their horse and carriage. And the favorite part of that day.....she got to dress the Weather Bear!

Dog, Cat and Rat

With my camera in the shop, I have not been posting as much as I normally do. So I figured I would share this video that Mom sent me. Great message behind it...

Thanks, Mom!

Swim with the Gentle Giants

Mike finally got his Christmas/birthday gift yesterday. He was one of the select few that can brag about swimming in the Georgia Aquarium! He originally thought that we were just going to see the new shark exhibit. You should have seen the look on his face when he read the email notifying him that he would be part of the swim program! I just knew he would love it since he is a huge fan of Shark Week on Discovery Channel. He loves any documentaries on sharks and now was his chance to get up close and personal with them. While there are several different shark breeds in the tanks, the huge whale shark was the most impressive. You will see in several of the pictures and video how close Trixie, one of the four whale sharks, came to the divers. The manta rays also got within reach. Here was the agenda:

4:00-4:15 Check in at kiosk at entrance to OV gallery. Meet Dive Master

4:30-5:00 Attend orientation session in Coral Classroom

5:00-5:30 Change into gear and receive topside orientation

5:30-6:00 In the water

6:00-6:30 Shower and change

6:30-7:00 Attend debriefing session in the Coral Classroom. Review underwater video and receive your takeaway items


7:00 Escorted to the Aquarium exit
