Saturday we got up early and made breakfast. Jason took Joanna out for a jug of milk since we were too low on milk to make gravy with what we had left! Jason's biscuits were the best so far. I cut them out, so that must be why. No, really. He made sure the Crisco was solid instead of melted and used a ratio of butter and Crisco instead of just plain Crisco. They are definitely fluffier.
We talked about what to do for the day. We had such a great weekend last weekend that I wanted another good one together, just having fun. So we did! We thought about going to go to the zoo or the aquarium. The weather was cool enough to do the zoo, but still be hot, maybe too hot. We thought about the aquarium. We thought about going a few weeks ago, so it was an easy decision. Also, after we asked Joanna which she'd rather do, go to see animals or fish, she picked fish.
The aquarium was busy, but mostly with small kids and babies (with parents of course). I was suprised at how many TINY babies. One was 3 weeks and one was 3 months (but looked 3 weeks and we decided it had to have been born preemie to be that size at 3 months). Jason and I recalled how we kept Joanna in the house for like 6 weeks, then about 4 weeks with Thomas. It's fun to think back on things!
It's also interesting the instant camaraderie parents can have with each other since kids are similar in so many ways.
Joanna behaved fantastically. She liked the activity center but loved the penguins play area.
We went to stride-rite in Tanger outlets to get Thomas his first pair of shoes. They are blue tennis shoes and they are not baby shoes at all. He skipped that. He's wearing size 6W. We got Joanna's foot measured again and she's at 7.5W and got a size 8 shoe. Thomas is so big it is amazing. I bet the admission person almost didn't believe he was only 11 months. He does look like a baby still, though!
It was wonderful being together as a family, relaxing together doing something fun. A big A+ in my book.
