I slept in this morning and when I surfaced Paul announced that we should take a day trip. THIS sounded much more intriguing than the cleaning regimen I had planned out the night before! Paul suggested the aquarium in Chatanooga and we were off as fast as we could get ourselves together. And with two kids and no preparation it took about 90 minutes. M was ecstatic to go to the "fish museum"! He is does great in the car these days and lives a good adventure. He is so much like his daddy! Admittedly I am still behind on laundry and housework but we made great memories today and it was wonderful to be together as a family on a big adventure. These were the types if spontaneous things Paul and I would do prior to babies and I love getting to do them with Matthew and Charlotte!
What's over here???
Taking it all in!
Sooooo excited to be on a big adventure!
Walking in the museum with Daddy
Hi fishies!
Not too sure about "petting" the fishies...
There was a really big snake on the other side of the glass...
Watching stingrays and baby sharks
C took it all in stride and enjoyed all the sights and sounds.
Oooohhhhbb
After the fishies and a little convincing Matthew loved the water outside the aquarium!
C got a little daddy time while mommy and Matthew played in the water...
The only way I could actually get him out of the water was to promise a walk aloh the river to see the boats. Baby c was out in no time!
Back at the car Matthew was out within minutes
Baby c woke up when I had to move her to the car and spent the ride home talking to baby Dinous
What a great day!
