Atlanta Adventure Pt. 2

While we were abandoned in the house last weekend, when everyone else went to the aquarium, we had to find ways to entertain ourselves in a foreign house.  We went around and did some exploring.....

One of the first things we found was a cool pair of clogs from Holland.  We decided to play in them for a while.  It was weird, they were made out of wood, but we made the most of it.

We then found this cool little puppy to take us for a ride.  We tried to get him to fly like in the Never Ending Story, but I guess he couldn't fly, so we just wandered around the sunroom for a while.

We played in the bedroom and became honorary members of the red hat society.  We aren't allowed to speak of our adventures with that, but they are a fun bunch of ladies!

We then found this cool sumo ring.  I kicked Bernardo's butt!  I knocked his ass out.  Well.... I farted in his face and he passed out.  That still counts, right?

After he regained consciousness, we decided to put on a play.  We did our usual rendition of Romeo and Juliet, like always.  We read what we have at home and have memorized the complete works of Shakespeare.... Thanks Jen.  Why don't you go out and get some new books!

Just as we were getting into the play, they came back and we had to go back to our room and play.  We aren't allowed out in public (yet). 

We did have a great time.  Hopefully we can go back soon and have more adventures.

Speaking of adventures, check out Candid Carrie to see what everyone has been up to this week.

Monkey out.

Adventures in Atlanta!

This past weekend we took a trip down to Atlanta, Georgia to visit Brian's brother. It was an awesome trip. We were well behaved so hopefully we will get to go again sometime soon!

It was kinda boring waiting in the airport at first, there was nothing to do. Then Jen suggested that we people watch, which made for a much better time. We saw all kinds of people, most of which gave us funny looks. It was like they had never seen a knit monkey before. How weird is that?


The coolest part of the trip was definitely the plane ride. What an adrenaline rush it is when that plane takes off! We didn't have our own seats, but we got to ride in Jen's carry on, so it wasn't too bad.

Once on the plane we made sure to read the safety information and locate the exits just in case there was an emergency. We listened patiently when the stewardess came over the loud speaker overhead. We asked questions about how to use the floatation devices and everything. (Guillermo also tried to get one of the oxygen masks from the stewardess, but she wouldn't let us play with one.) She was really nice and brought us our own bags of pretzels. I don't know why she didn't bring any for Brian and Jen though. Weird!

Later during the flight, the pretzels didn't agree with Guillermo so much and he had to use a sick bag. I don't think that he really knew what it was for, but apparently he really had to go....

Why he look in the bag to see what it looked like..... well, who knows the answer to that one!


It was really neat to watch the ground as we flew overhead. The world below was filled with tiny little cars and tractors and these little ants all over the place. Jen told us they were people, I don't know they were really small.

Check back later to see more of our Atlanta adventures.
