Oh. My. Goodness. This day will go down in our history.

I (Robin) had a training day with Tony Morgan.  He works with pastors and ministry leaders to help them develop as leaders.

here we are training.

So, while my husband was training, I was packing up the kids and getting the R.V. ready to go to the Morgan’s pool in their subdivision.  We got everything all in order and headed out.  About 5 minutes into the journey Jude starts scrounging around for something to drink.

What happens when you combine these three things?…

A thirsty child

A moving vehicle going around a curve

A thirsty child opening a refrigerator with a pitcher of formula in it

hmmmmmm.

Ah, you have already found the answer.  The next thing I heard was “mom, come back here now!”  I very quickly replied “I can’t, you are going to have to clean it up”.  The boys got after it and got it done!

We got to the pool and started getting ready when I realized Kennady’s extension tube for her feeding pump had come off and was leaking onto her blanket.  As I started cleaning it up I realized her diaper had leaked too!!  What in the world.  When it rains it pours!  So, needless to say, we were ready to play at the pool and relax a bit.

Here is what Erica and the kids did while Robin trained!

The kids and I (Erica) hung out with Emily Morgan and their two youngest girls at their super awesome pool.  The moms had a great time chatting while the kids swam laps around us.  We are so thankful for the Morgans and their generosity!  Not only did they have us over to swim, but they let us use their van too!  Awesomness!!

Avery went down this super cool slide.

Then, we headed to downtown Atlanta to visit the Georgia Aquarium.  We were very excited to get to go to the aquarium, the kids had just recently seen a special on T.V. about it being one of the largest aquariums in the world!  We were anticipating bad traffic on our way in, but it actually wasn’t too bad.  Check this out, 14 lanes of traffic! (but that only lasted about 5 minutes for us)

When we arrived at the aquarium, we started unloading from the R.V. and realized that we had left Kennady’s wheelchair at the swimming pool! What a disaster.  Of course, Erica (being the trooper she is) said we should borrow one from the aquarium.  Thankfully, they had extras.  So, I carried her several blocks to the wheelchair and then she toured the place in a massive chair.  Erica and I traded off turns holding her and getting pushed around.

Not sure how Robin got first dibs on sitting with Kennady while I pushed him around!!

Amazing whale shark

We saw all kinds of cool fish and sea animals.  The boys were able to touch some stingrays and hammerhead sharks.

As we left the aquarium, we had to leave the chair there, so I (Robin) started carrying Kennady 4 blocks back to the RV.  About half way there, I realized that I couldn’t feel the keys in my pocket! They had fallen out of my pocket!  We started searching the ground all the way back to the R.V.  At that point, I (Erica) took the kids and Robin headed back to the aquarium to do a search there.

Lucky for the kids and I, we were sitting right smack in the middle of Centennial park!

Within 5 minutes of being there, we heard an announcement saying that the show would begin in 90 seconds.  How fun!

The fountains then became a light/water show that was choreographed to music.  Very cool.

When the show was over the kids went crazy and played in the water with all the other bizzilion children.  It was a fun time for all.  Kenna and I hung out on the sidelines and waited for Robin to return.  That didn’t happen for another hour and fourty five minutes!

The kids thoroughly enjoyed the water

Kenna and I chillin on the sidelines

The boys were doing one armed push ups/no arm push ups? This sweet little girl in the back joined in with them

And this is what an R.V. looks like when you can’t get into it. (pretty much like any other R.V.)

Robin never found the keys so he called a locksmith and he picked the lock on the outside door within about 20mins. However, he couldn’t make a key for the ignition.  We called another locksmith and it took him about 2 hours to get here.

At this point it is ten minutes until 1 a.m. here in downtown Atlanta and we have the keys to the outside of the R.V., a generator that is running (Thank you Jesus!) and a man working on getting us a key for the ignition.

We were supposed to be sleeping at the camp ground tonight, but we had a little setback.

See ya tomorrow folks.

UPDATE (Friday)

We had a key in hand at 1:30am. We drove to a Walmart and camped out there until 9am today.
