We took a fun trip to the Aquarium this past Friday and had a blast (kind of like a pre-4th celebration). Paw Paw and Grandma-ma picked us up, along with Phil and we headed to the Beach. We got to the Aquarium at about 10:15am and stayed till about 1:30pm. It has grown so much and changed beyond belief. It has nothing left of the old Aquarium that I remember. It was amazing! Gabby was in love with all of it. She wanted everything, and I mean everything. She really wanted Phil to take her everywhere too. It was so wonderful having him with us, just so she could hang out with him. =0) This big ol' frog is what welcomes you when you come in the entrance.
Gabby was lovin' being out of her stroller and so excited to touch everything. Here we are attempting to attack a starfish. =0) 
One of the many times that Phil was having to hold Gabby! She wanted to sit next to him and then that soon transitioned into sitting on his lap!
This little guy looks like he is covering his face. Too cute!! 
The mammoth Alligator Snapping Turtle behind Phil was the new attraction. This guy is 150 years old. He is huge!!
Saturday morning we headed down to Jville to celebrate the 4th. It was so fun. Clay got to meet Anna finally. =0) She just stared at him and then went to sleep. So cute. Next weekend he'll get to meet Shelby!
The kids enjoyed some bubbles that Grandma-ma had given Gabby a while ago. =0) Let me just say, there are none left, and there were three bottles. They l-o-v-e-d them!!!!
A bunch of these pictures are courtesy of Molly! Thanks Molls, you took a lot of really awesome pictures!! Please feel free to take my camera any time and take pictures, at least until you get a new one! =0) 
Gabby unfortunately did not enjoy the fireworks at all. This is where we ended up and Clay ended up staying while I snapped a few pictures of the fireworks. Such a silly girl!!
This is for you Sonja. They loved the bracelets. The girls are showing them off!! They were definitely a hit among all present!! =0)

Hahahaha, it's funny we have the same background....I'll change mine...don't worry!! I love the pics of the Aquarium and I loved going there has a little girl too...it was always fun touching the animals. I love the water play pics Molly took. She's good with a camera. Mitch and I missed our fireworks this year b/c he got hurt, but we'll catch them next year!! Your blogs are awesome!!
What a fun and wonderful way to spend the 4th. Samara was really scared of the fireworks at first too but warmed up a little.
We love the aquarium too--it's awesome!
Look at Dad wearing shorts! I'll bet the mosquitos left everyone else alone! :) Looks like so much fun - the aquarium has changed...worth the trip now!
