Beach Bumming with the Brun Bunch!

The Brun Family was super nice and invited us to come spend the day with them at the beach!  We all had an amazing time, and Sarah immediately fell in love with the ocean!
 Her first glimpse of the ocean.
 She could not wait to get into the ocean.


 Loving every second, it was hard to get her out!
 Checking out the baby clams.


 Dave was also an ocean lover this time!

 More baby clams.
 Catie and Sarah checking out the baby clams.
 Back into the ocean.
 Collecting shells.  Sarah now loves shells more than rocks!
 All the kids had a great time building a sand castle together.








 And Dave found a new love, boogie boarding!

Thank you again Brun Family for inviting us to spend the day with you!  We all had a blast!

Lost River Caverns.

 Chris thought that it would be fun to take the kids to Lost River Caverns today.
 Some the scenery in their entrance.



 Going into the cave.

 Learning about stalagmites and stalactites.

 Time to duck.

 Getting to touch the water in the cave.

Our little cave explorers.

Mystic Aquarium - Connecticut

Today, we crossed off another state in our challenge, Connecticut!
 Mystic Aquarium!  This aquarium is by far one of the best that we have been too.

 Checking out the seals.



 Can you spot the bull frog?
 And the turtle?
 On the look out for more frogs and turtles in the wet lands.





 Dave thought the giant clam was pretty cool.
 Sarah liked checking out the eels.
 And of course everyone liked this big sea turtle.
 Seeing which shark they would be.

If you are ever in Connecticut, this aquarium is a perfect place to stop and check, well worth it!
