Sunday we went to Grandma and Grandpa K's house for a BBQ. Uncle Joe has moved back (he was living in Florida) and the kids were so happy to see him and wrestle with him. The kids had a water gun fight and also squirted lizards on the backyard wall. We BBQed and then the kids did sparklers with Uncle Joe.
Monday was so gorgeous that we decided to go to the Aquarium. I love our aquarium and botanic gardens, with the fish tanks, the children's garden, the trains, the ducks and geese, and the butterfly pavilion. Alex was so excited to see SHARKS! And the butterfly pavilion was so neat, with butterflies flying all around and even landing on you. Then we went t Dions Pizza for lunch. While having lunch, I asked the kids what their favorite part of the Aquarium was. Alex said the sharks of course. Aurora's answer? "The gift shop!"
In the afternoon we broke out the kids' pool for the first time this year. They had a blast playing in there while we grilled steaks and made drinks. What a great weekend - I love summer!!
