Aquarium, Tropical Toes and Water Golfing

The last few days have been quite an adventure.

We're trying to get ready for our cruise (we leave Friday morning!!! woohoo!) so things are a little crazy at the Hague residence.

Kylie's ready!!

I painted my toes for our trip...

They may be a little out there... but I like them. :)

We did take a break and took a trip to the Portland Aquarium. It was actually a lot better than I had expected. haha. And Kylie LOVED it, which made it worth every penny. :)

 

They had lots of fish, and quite a few interactive places where you can touch the animals.

Kylie was all for touching the sting rays... I however was a little hesitant. haha. And the sharks in the tank freaked me out.

We also got to hang out with the parakeets.

 Kylie wasn't so sure about this little guy eating her hair tie.

Photo opp in a half-boat. Gotta love it.

We finished off our excursion with dinner at Outback. I sure do love me some steak!

AND...This is how you will find Kylie 99% of the time.

She wants to be right by my side and helping with everything. Which lately has included sweeping, making lunch, doing dishes, cleaning mom's face and laundry.

Oh and picking out books of course. I moved the board books down to where she can reach them... and we now read about 1000 books a day. haha!

Can't really get away without doing her hair anymore... it's too long!

she insisted on wearing her church shoes with her jammies... and then "posed." ha!

Dallin had a "quarterly" at work. So his team went and had a fun game day at a Family Fun Center. He had a total blast! And was super excited to show me the pictures of them mini golfing in pools of water, and to tell me about how Darrin "soaked" him during a go kart race. I'm glad he's able to do these fun things to break up the tedious-ness of sitting at a computer every day.

Now if we can only make it through the next few days and the flight to Orlando!
