Family Fun!

So what a busy Saturday we had! Brian read about this "Ice Fest" that was going on in the Delmar Loop area (lots of unique restaurants and shops, along with Fitz's root beer brewery!). With the weather warming up (it was 44 degrees today) we decided to bundle up the kids and get out of the house...the weather has been such a downer, it was nice to be able to get some fresh air. There were ice carvers, hula-hoopers, jugglers, stilt-walkers, mimes and lots of fun ice scupltures to look at as well as all the pubs has "putt-putt" holes (there was also a "putt-putt" pub crawl) made from various items (ice, pizza boxes, etc). Kaitlyn enjoyed playing. After leaving there, we felt it was too nice to go home, so we headed to the zoo! It was nice seeing the animals out (or in, in some cases). Kaitlyn enjoyed taking us on a tour of the zoo - telling us where to go and what to see! Makes me long for spring, but know I have a long ways to go! A tiny taste of the nice weather was nice! Enjoy the pictures.

A weekend in the city...

Kaitlyn has her first Irish dance feis here in downtown Atlanta. We decided to make a weekend of it (she dances today and tomorrow) and spend the night at the hotel where the feis is being held. We started very early this morning with Kaitlyn dancing just before 9am! She did amazing and placed in both her dances (second in jig; 3rd in reel). After she finished dancing we headed to the children's museum of Atlanta. The kids had a blast trying all the cool things to do. Then we grabbed some lunch in centennial park (it's 65 degrees here so we ate outside!!) and then hit the aquarium. The kids are excited to swim at the indoor pool later and then it's more dancing in the morning!

Kaitlyn's first ATL Irish Dance performance

Since moving to Atlanta, the kids had to get involved in their activities down here. Kaitlyn started Irish dancing at Mulligan School back in August. She competed in her first Southern Region Feisanna in November. Tonight, she performed at her first community event with some of the other girls from the dance studio. She did fantastic. I took several pictures as well as a video of her dancing with the other girls. She will be doing many more performances as she made the Tara Dance Company (which is a handpicked dance team that travels the city in the Spring doing performances). We are quite proud of our little Irish dancer and can't wait to see where her dancing takes us! Here is the video...
