Friday: Aquarium and Steph's Baby Shower!

Unfortunately, my camera died right before we got to the aquarium, so I have no pictures to share from day one of our extremely busy and fun weekend. On Friday morning, Whit and I went to the aquarium with Grandma and Grandpa Vasey, Uncle Tom, Aunt Megan, Alexia, Uncle Rob, Scott's cousin, Taeja, and her 3 children, Jenai, who's 13, Addison, who's 10, and Christian, who is 8. Scott had to work, so he was unable to join us, and Taeja's husband, Marshall, also had to work. We got there at about 11am, and we were all so excited to see everything! I had only been once before, 2 years ago, when we took the entire 7th grade class, but we were only able to stay for an hour and a half that time. This time, I knew we would have plenty of time to see everything. Whit was a perfect angel the entire time; I was SO proud of him! He enjoyed seeing all the different fish, he took a nice nap in the afternoon, and he had a big smile on his face the entire day, which made my experience even more enjoyable. The only disappointing part of the day was when we found out that the penguin exhibit was being redone and wouldn't be complete until 2010! The penguins are my favorite part about the aquarium besides the otters, which we did get to see, luckily! Those otters are just the cutest animals to me! We stayed until about 3:15pm, and then we all headed home. I met Scott at home and dropped Whit off and then left to go to my friend, Stephanie's baby shower at 4:30pm. It was so great to see her and many of my dear friends from Autrey Mill. Although I love staying home with Whit more than words can express, I sure do miss seeing my friends on a daily basis! We all hung out until about 6:30pm, and then I had to go home to help with bathtime and putting Whit to sleep. All in all, it was a great, rainy, cold Friday! I just wish I had pictures to share of the events. :( Oh, well.
