We Had a Visitor! :)

The kids and I have been to the aquarium a few times, but Ben has never been able to come.

This weekend he didn't have to work and came with!! 

(So I stand corrected, at 353 days of work this year)

In between our wandering we stopped for a snack:

I asked Mackayla to go say cheese for a picture. She obediently walked over and squatted.

Say cheese!

Nope.

 Humongous sea star

On doing things by myself with kids: I don't care if people think I'm a crazy mom. Really, I don't. I look like one. But amidst the chaos I think doing things out and about with my kids is fun and lets me be a kid again too. That and I don't mind getting lost once in a while...
...But it's more fun with Ben!

We had a wonderful weekend hanging out together.
