Good morning

Good morning friends!

NC Aquarium @ Fort Fisher

Back in January, we enjoyed a fun Saturday morning at the NC Aqaurium @ Fort Fisher.

It's the perfect size to tour in just a few hours and it wasn't crowded since it's the dead of winter! The have a 2-story conservatory with fish, birds, turtles, snakes and alligators. It's home to an albino aligator - this guy...

And this very friendly guy. Gracyn's not too impressed, huh?

But she loved the fish and called them all 'Bubbles' - that's the Beta fish at school's name.

She wasn't really into touching anything or observing for too long. But we covered the whole place, had zero meltdowns, enjoyed a nice snack outside - with a quick dance session (see below) and made it home for lunch & nap with no tears. Pretty successful, in my opinion!

Come on Spring!

A quick weekend roundup. After weeks of nasty, harsh winter weather, Mother Nature graced us with a gorgeous preview of Spring. Warm weather + blue skies, we'll take it. We got our weekend chores out of the way on Saturday morning. Target for crayons & other items, TJMaxx for some new Eric Carle books and Harris Teeter...WHEW! Lee took on the yard, major challenge.

On Sunday, we played hooky from church and after a nice breakfast & 'nack for G we took off for the beach, all 4 of us. Bella was anxious to swim and not too happy that we didn't oblige. G had fun with her shades & digging in the sand. She's going to have a blast this summer at the beach. And Lee & I, well we just enjoyed.
