We can't stop traveling!! Adventure 1: The Aquarium

We went to Cincinnati the weekend of Alexa and Ella's Birthdays.  I am so thankful for Lauren, who accompanied us on the trip.  Without her, I would not have gone.  She is such a blessing and the kids love her.  Lauren was our Nanny for about 6 months and we are so glad we have remained friends.

We went to the Aquarium and had so much fun.  It was such a delight seeing all the cousins together.  We had an action packed weekend.  So I will have to break up the posts.

Adventure 1 :  The Aquarium










 Not hard to tell Gina is a teacher...






 Measuring up...






Ok, I am pretty sure these next pictures would have gotten us kicked out, but I couldn't help but photograph instead of discipline.




Si is trying to, with some success pretend to be swimming in the water.  He is so creative.  I keep telling him to slow down, as it pertains to growing up.  He just replies, "Mom I will be with you for a little bit, but I have a lot more to grow before I become big like you and Daddy."  I think he inherited Kirk's realism.




Thanks Lauren!!




Anna is so full of life.  She is sweet, but has a flare for the dramatic.  At this point, she is my opposite in many ways.  She is such a girly girl and thinks she is a princess.  She has hopes of becoming a mermaid someday.  She wears a lot of bracelets and necklaces at the same time.  Pedicures are required as soon as her polish starts to wear off.  I am guessing her teenage years will be interesting.
