Sylvie's 1st Trip to Atlanta!

Finally my mom, Marilyn, and Sylvie made it down to Atlanta. After two postponed visits due to illness and school work, we were very excited that they came to visit! I always have a list of Memphis treats for them to bring along, which includes Muddy's cupcakes.

Somebody was not a fan of Pink Berry despite the chocolate yogurt on her nose!

Since Sylvie didn't care for frozen yogurt, Suds took her next door to pick up some Oreos... look at the grin on her face! She was very excited!

I can't get enough of those curls!

Whale sharks! Woopsies, brought my 50mm lens, which made it difficult to get the bigger animals in one shot.

Hands down my favorite sea creature at the Aquarium (cuttlefish are equally cool but we didn't see any at the aquarium). The large tooth sawfish, which is not a shark although he looks like one. He is actually in the ray family. Steve and I saw a TV show about these guys, they called them gentle giants despite his long scary saw.

This sawfish was just taking a nap at the bottom of the tank.
