We spent Mother's Day at the New England Aquarium with my Mother, my brother, his wife, and my nieces and nephew. We were sad Garrett had some side work to do that day and couldn't join us. Although he did promise me we could bring Ashlynn back another day to have some more fun. Ashlynn, Evi, Maddi and Ethan seemed to have a great time. Ashlynn really loved looking at the 8 foot anaconda, and most of all she loved the Sting Ray Touch Tank Exhibit. Ashlynn's arms were too short to actually touch the Sing Rays, but she didn't know that. Every time a Sting Ray swam by she would yell "I touch it, I touch it' with a HUGE grin. Ashlynn was all over the place, and decided right after we got there that the stroller was not going to work. She needed to be able to walk all over and see everything. Actually it was more like running everywhere to see everything. The bad mommy that I am- I was seriously considering a kid leash after that trip...
After the Aquarium we walked to the North End for lunch. We had lunch at a nice restaurant, that even had an accordion player. Ashlynn was so tired from the aquarium that she slept through the whole thing. After lunch we walked to Bova's Bakery to get some yummy desserts, before going back to the car.
On the way home we stopped in to visit Jesse and Kim, and their precious little girl, Lily. Lily was only 6 days old! She is adorable! Ashlynn was very curious about her, and kept tickling her feet.
Thanks to my brother for driving so I didn't have to get stressed about it! I was also pleasantly surprised to come home to some beautiful roses from Garrett- not a bad Mother's Day! <3
