A Fun Day Out

Last week our close friends added another sweet baby to the family, so we thought it would be fun to give their Mom a little break and have a fun day out. It started by picking up Hank! Rylee's excitement had been building since she woke up this morning, so just getting to Hank's was a big deal. From there we headed to the store to pick up a few more Christmas presents. We borrowed Hank's double stroller and wow pushing those two around was almost enough to put this pregnant lady into labor!These two had so much fun pestering each other and playing with their cars! One second Hank was turned around poking Rylee, the next Rylee was tapping Hank on the head, and then they were busting up laughing at each other! I had three people ask me how old my twins were. The first two people I explained the truth, the third person I simply replied, "oh, they are 2!"
After the mall we headed down to the Aquarium. The two of them were so cute to watch, they could not walk from one exhibit to the next without holding hands.
Shortly after we arrived at the Aquarium we learned that there was a storytime about to start, so we went over to that. The two kids sat right next two each other, and I was rather impressed with how well the two of them sat still and listened. One of the stories was about Jake the Snake and after the story ended they had a snake for the kids to pet on the back; however, neither Rylee or Hank would go within 3 feet of the teeny snake (I don't blame them!). After storytime we went around and looked at a few more fish exhibits, but then these two were ready for lunch. The Aquarium had a wonderful little cafe in it, so we got some lunch and dug in. There is only one high chair in the place, so Rylee and Hank sat on the chairs like big kids and did a great job.We had a great time, and by the time we got to Hank's house both kids were sound asleep!
