The Aquarium

-
Loyd had his first big Trooper School field trip this week. We all went to the Moody Gardens Aquarium to see lots of beautiful sea life. Xavier was fascinated with everything. He ran from observation window to observation window shouting, "Oh! Look! Oh! Look!" Loyd just ran. He made 3 laps around the entire Aquarium in the time it took Xavier and I to see 2/3 of it. Thank goodness Loyd had his own personal trip chaperone to keep up with his energy. :)

I couldn't resist getting a picture of Loyd in the shark cage. There's something comforting in knowing he's stuck in one spot for a minute. :)

I had a difficult time getting pictures of the boys' faces. They didn't want to look at me. They wanted to watch the fish and squeal at the water acrobatics of the seals and penguins. I can't say I blame them. I had fun watching the animals too. They are way more fun to watch than boring old mommy.

It was a fun field trip. We had a great time and everyone napped very well when we got home that afternoon.

It's been a bit of a warm and dry winter, until our latest epic snow storm!!  We didn't get as much snow as high elevations, but I'm happy with 9 inches in 3 days.  Diana is all in when it comes to playing in the snow, the little boys have been busy as beavers digging snow forts, and Maeve has found that digging out snow paths with her friend Lilly is a great way to "chill" during the afternoon.  :D  The big kids have been busy helping Dustin and I keep the street shoveled out.  Dustin wakes up early every morning to use my Dad's snow plow to clear all of the sidewalks on our street  before the kids have to walk to school. The kids and I have been working hard to keep our driveway and the driveways of some of our elder neighbors cleared after all of this wonderful snowfall.  It's been a fun wintertime treat.  The ward to the child who shoveled the most for this storm goes to Rebekah!  She's a pretty awesome snow shoveler despite her preferenc...

Xavier is getting down to work on this year's science fair project.  He's testing to see which oil is best for popping popcorn.  It's important science. John and Diana are enjoying playtime inside boxes, because boxes are the best, of course! John is starting to have fun playdates with friends from the neighborhood.  It's so fun to find good friends who share a love in all things Paw Patrol!
