busy weekend

Little nael had a busy weekend! On Saturday, she attended Mack's 3rd birthday party at the Aquarium. The party started out with lunch at the Aquarium restaurant which has a 150000 gallon tank filled with stingrays, sawfish, and other cool little creatures. Afterwards, after a group potty pit stop, little nael and her friends headed to the aquarium to see the sea turtles, the big fish, small fish, stingrays, eels and the sharks! The kids also got a chance to mine for gemstones at the Gold Mine exhibit. Finally, the party ended with playtime at Sharkey Fun Zone where the kids climbed and slid down the sea creatures. Afterward, nael and I headed to the "Bacon & Eggs" mall for a late lunch since she didn't eat much at the party. We ate at Johnny Rockets and as I sat there eating my sandwich I realized that it has been a long while since nael and I had a meal at a restaurant together, just the two of us. I found myself enjoying my one-on-one time with my little girl. Since baby j was born, we've become a party of four but mostly a party of three since snowboarder travels a lot. And, today it was just the two of us. I wasn't distracted with baby j or snowboarder. I was loving it and relishing this alone time with my girl!

On Sunday, she and baby j attended Zach's 1st birthday party. She saw her friends again and had a wonderful time playing with all of Taylor and Zach's toys in their house.
