After the Aquarium we walked around the harbor to see the lighthouse. We've been members of the Aquarium for several years and have NEVER made the short walk over to the lighthouse. That's going to change from now on! It was beautiful! The boats, the sand, the grass, the water, the birds, the whole ambiance of the late afternoon was just perfect!
Becky was sent a card in the mail for her birthday from the Aquarium inviting her to come in for a special birthday surprise. She was given bubbles and while we walked around she would blow the bubbles, which James would have a BLAST chasing and popping them.
The kids in front of the lighthouse. Up by the lighthouse there was an impromptu band and some people dancing around. It added to the whole gaiety of the day.
Of course there were several trees that the kids just couldn't resist climbing, and hills for running up and down! We thought for sure the kids would wear themselves out running up and down all those hills, but when we got in the car they seemed still full of energy while Sean and I were completely pooped!
Becky and Alex make the trek to the top while Jane takes a break from her rolling to smile at the camera. :)
James tried the rolling-down-the-hill thing but just couldn't figure it out this time around. So he was content just running up and down, up and down, up and down.....
Becky was the first and last to roll. She LOVES it and wasn't ready for us to start walking back to the car.
All in all the kids had a blast and we're so happy we could spend that time together. We're looking forward to more family time during this next week. :)
