Over the 4th of July weekend, Grandma Kerr and I took Tyler to visit Uncle Zach. We had a fun-filled weekend planned by Uncle Zach. We started off at the Georgia Aquarium. Tyler loved looking at all the fish! He would run up the tanks, flap his arms in excitement, and scream "Fish, Fish!" We tried to get a video of his arms flapping, but we weren't successful! We were able to get a video of Tyler showing us different fish using his fish chart! (If only it was turned the correct way!)

We then went to Stone Mountain. Tyler's favorite part of Stone Mountain was riding the 30 minute train around the mountain. After Stone Mountain, it was time to let off the fire works that Uncle Zach bought for us. To all of our amazement, Tyler was not afraid. This was his first experience with fire works! He loved all the colors that were in the sky. After the big fireworks, we lit sparklers. Tyler was brave enough to hold one, but only for a minute. A spark accidentally got him in the chest. He tells us, "Fire hurtid me." Hopefully next year this will be a forgotten memory!
