Wordless Wednesday

We wish it was summer....

Happy 30th Birthday, Daddy!!

Although today is Chris's actual birthday, we celebrated yesterday! Below are just a few pictures of him opening some of his presents. And a wonderful cake that Noel made for Chris. Chris, Dave and I hope that you had a wonderful birthday and that you have a great year!

If you give Dave a cardboard tube....

He will try to catch a mouse....

Happy Birthday, Noel!!

The next Food Network star!

The boys decided to make pizza for dinner tonight. The crust was homemade from Noel. Below is Dave getting the pan ready for the crust.

Next it is time to spread out the crust.

Then the sauce. He was very careful the make sure that it was spread out evenly.

And finally the cheese, yes the cheese was Dave friendly.

Adventure at the aquarium

We have not been to one of Dave's favorite places for awhile, so we thought that today would be a great day to head to the aquarium. Dave was just the little future marine biologist today. It was so quiet there today, a perfect day to go, that they had all the touch exhibits open. Dave made sure that he went around and touched all of the sea creatures and asked the aquarium employees questions about the animals.

He first started off by touching the sharks!

Then over the the big tank to see if we could spot to huge sea turtle!

And we did, I think he was every one's favorite today.

Then it was off to touch the see cucumber, star fish, and sea anemone.

Both Chris and Dave said the sea anemone was sticky.

Then we had to stop to see if we could find all the fish from Nemo.

I think the hunt was successful!

Our next stop was to see the birds and to wonder why they don't fly away since they aren't in a cage.

He looks pretty small in this picture.

And another stop at another set of touch tanks to touch jellyfish, a different type of shark, and some sting rays.

Dave being a shark and Chris being a turtle!

And a quick stop in the shark tunnel.

"What are you doing hippos?"

It was a rather cold day, but we still did stop out to see the penguins quick. They didn't seem to mind the cold.

Just a quick video of some of the frog sounds that Dave likes to play with while we are visiting the frogs.
