Sometimes I get in a rut and all I want to do is stay home. It is so hard to go out with two little ones and Silas is so young that he requires a lot of extra prep work to take out.
Today I decided we were heading out. I piled them in the car and announced we were having lunch at the Cafe at the aquarium and cheers ensued. Or so my story goes.
Here is Ellie getting ready to order!
Working on her fabulous table artwork
Final project: "It's me and mama with glasses"
The staff here were so friendly to her and she managed to get one of the waitresses to let her use this sharpie to draw with because they had no crayons.
This girl could sell ice to and Eskimo.
Checking out the lake
Silas just hanging out and taking in the sights
Going to check out the butterflies
Ellie just loved this place!
She was trying to sit ever so still so a butterfly would land on her!

This is her "Stop taking pictures of me" face
Taking in the sights....
Little girl....Big world
"But I don't want to take a picture with him...."
Aquarium Time!!
Stingrays!
Jellyfish
Sharks!!!
It was a "big" outing for us and I know that every one had a blast....myself included. I know I need to get out and about more often and I am going to make every concerted effort to do so! There is so much to do and so much to see and we need to start getting out!
