Sierra had a sleepover with us last night and this morning she made French toast. We made our plans for the day, which were to go on a field trip and then have Papa and Grandma come over for dinner.
Marshall and Dani stayed home and relaxed and the rest of us traipsed out to the aquarium in Draper.
It was really nice. Not huge but the exhibits were top notch. We started in the Amazon, and warmed up in the humidity. The girls loved the suspended rope bridge and looking at the birds. In fact Penny said her favorite animal was the little green bird she saw.
Some parts were a little scary, like these giant fish and the sharks.
They had playful otters, cute penguins, poison frogs, sea horses and cuttlefish and jellies and touch tanks and lots of things to look at and enjoy.
After a stop at the gift shop we went to Carl's Jr for lunch then back home to get ready for dinner.
We had a fun but quick visit with Grandma and Papa. Then cleaned up and read stories and got ready for bed.
The girls are so cute and funny. I like the things they say and that they are happy to have me visit.
Yesterday we got up early, the three of us, and while sitting on the couch discussed what to make for breakfast. I made several suggestions and Penny really wanted pancakes. Tate told me that they had pancakes the night before for dinner so I said do you still want them today or is that too much pancakes? Penny shouted "I love too much pancakes!"
It's really delightful to have a second go round with the next generation. So cute and fun! It's also wonderful having grown children that want you around and that you can enjoy time with. I love talking with them and spending whatever time we can together. I am severely blessed!
