Girls Day Out

The girls and I spent the day with Aunt MaryAnne last Friday and we had a lovely day! We started with a snack at Aunt MaryAnne's house, then headed to the Discovery Center! When we first walked in it was chaos - there were 5 school groups there at once! MaryAnne and I shared a look of "maybe this wasn't such a great idea" but it ended up working out perfectly. We explored upstairs while most of the school groups were downstairs, then we had the downstairs to ourselves while the school groups were either leaving or breaking for lunch.
We then walked a few blocks to the Freak Lunchbox. Grace had never been there before and loved it (what kid wouldn't love an entire store devoted to candy?) She was very pleased with her huge sucker and big bag of candy. We went to Jim's for lunch and despite being tired, the girls were awesome. Both of the girls passed out pretty quickly on the drive home!

Grace was very excited to show MaryAnne the penguin! It was what she talked about the most after we were here in December

She loves this truck too

Before I know it they'll be out driving around together for real! Eeep!

Anna had a great time exploring everything too!

There were a few girls in the bubble room when we got there and they helped Grace blow some big bubbles. They were very sweet!

Checking out the Touch Tank! This wasn't open last time we were there.

Mussels, clams, sea urchins, starfish, oysters, sea cucumbers, and more!

Anna was happy to just run around

Looking a little tired but having a great time!
