Audrey and Morgan ended their long and eventful day with a bath together. Morgan checked Audrey out to make sure she was clean. She happily checked her feet, ears, and neck and I was lucky enough to get it on camera.
The bath was the perfect ending to a perfect day. After the girls spent the morning playing at home with Daddy, we all went to La Paz for lunch. It was absolutely delicious as usual. I only had about 2 bites left on my plate when I found a hair in it. I usually wouldn't have said anything, but the busboy was standing there and saw me find it. We ended up getting the entire meal for free!
We were going to wait until late afternoon to head downtown to the Atlanta Botanical Garden. This weekend is the Asian Cultural Celebration and Mark and I thought it sounded like a lot of fun. We decided just to go ahead and go right after we ate. Whenever we go to something like this (museum, aquarium, etc...) Morgan has to have about an hour to speed through and give everything a glance over. There is no slowing her down. Any "Hey, Morgan look at this," is answered with a short "Yeah cool. Let's go." But, after she has had her time to go at warp speed, she figures out what she likes best and spend more time exploring her favorites. As it turned out, she says her favorite thing about the day was "everything." She really seemed to like the music, the Aikido demonstration, the vegetable dumplings, and the sprinklers. In true Morgan fashion, she ran off to the water feature and came back looking as if she jumped in a pool with her clothes on. I absolutely love how free my children are in most situations. The look on their faces when they are doing what they desire is priceless.
Audrey enjoyed exploring at the garden as well. She walked among the plants but didn't even attempt to touch any of them. She also didn't get wet in the sprinklers which was a big surprise to me. There was a slide in the kid's garden that she spent quite a bit of time on. The kid's garden was my favorite section and Audrey and I sat in a rocking chair and nursed. It was very relaxing and I felt as if I could have sat there all day.
Mark's favorite parts were the Aikido demonstration and the bees. We all looked for the queen but never spotted her.
After some food and a bath, Morgan chose to start an art project that involved A LOT of glue. We moved it inside to dry for the night and were off to bed...It was a wonderful day!
