Spring Break Part 2

Hello all and Happy Thursday! Today I have a long post of the second half of Spring Break!Grab a cup of coffee or tea and enjoy!

Wednesday we had a stay at home and chill day! I cleaned the house, did laundry from our trip to Athens and just got to relax with my babies!

We played with chalk

and at the water table. 

While big sister napped we left her home with the oldest and this boy and I had a mommy son date at Kroger getting a few things to get us through the next few days, such as coffee and milk haha 

Thursday morning we were up early and playing with all the toys and cuddling! 

Thursday afternoon we had some errands to run and we made a stop at Sonic for ice cream! This little was so excited

and so was this one, once he got his ice cream! 

After ice cream we went home and got dinner cooked and then took a bath and went to bed early for our trip coming early the next morning! 

Up bright and early, 6 am early,  and on our way to Charleston SC. 

Our first stop was at the aquarium. We are members of the aquarium so it was fun to get in for just 8 dollars so the older two could feed the sting rays! It was so cool to watch and Riley and Charlotte are at the perfect ages and love going to see the fish! 

My sweet boy! 

The view from the aquarium is absolutely beautiful! 

The first tank in the aquarium and these two were already so fascinated! 




I love being able to take my babies to see things! The otters were out and swimming around today and Charlotte was so excited to sit and watch them! 

On our way out of the first exhibit we saw them setting up a mermaid to take pictures with and you best believe this girl wanted her picture with a mermaid. She loves mermaids so she was so excited! 


The kids had a great time running around to look at all the different things, at this aquarium, they incorporate legos into the tanks and Riley was fascinated. He loves building things and so when he saw this tank of just legos he was so intrigued! 

The divers that dive into the ocean tank were dressed up as pirates, and other than Charlotte getting stepped on a few times we had a good time watching this show! 



I let the kiddos play a lot more this trip than last! Riley is a bit older so he can keep up with his big sister better and so I would let them play on the different things they have throughout the aquarium for kids to play on! 

They enjoyed walking over the shark pit to escape danger :) My fearless Riley just walked straight onto the lighted sharks and stomped them at first haha 

So the main reason we went to the aquarium this week was because they were having the Weeki Wachee mermaids at the aquarium and I knew Charlotte would really enjoy seeing them, so when it lined up with spring break I knew it was perfect and we just had to go! Our very last thing we did was watch a mermaid swim around for twenty minutes and we took tons of pictures! It was seriously the best experience! Charlotte didn't stop talking about it for days!

After spending a couple hours at the aquarium, we went to lunch at East Bay Deli! We went last time we came to the aquarium and this time didn't disappoint either! I get the piggy potato which is pulled pork on top of a baked potato and it is seriously delicious! The kiddos loved the hot dogs and Charlotte ended up with everyone's pickles and was in pickle heaven! 

After lunch we walked around Charleston! Last time it was pouring, but today it was sunny and 80 degrees so not too hot! 

I love all the houses and architecture in Charleston! 

This little loved seeing all the flowers and stopped to smell them a few times 




this girl got tired and cranky so I threw her on my back and let the oldest girl push the stroller with Riley for a bit so her legs could rest! 

We went to one of my favorite parts of town 

and got lucky and got to sit on the swings today! Generally they are so busy you don't get a chance to! 


then we went and sat down and just looked at the boats and waves and took a little break from walking! 


I love that they love each other so much! 

You can't go by this fountain without jumping in

He has never looked so excited! 

She was soaked but loving it! and luckily it was warm enough so she didn't freeze! 

On our way back to the van we stopped for some coffee and a smoothie and I looked over and these two were drawing and sitting so well together. 

Bathroom break for Charlotte led to an adorable photo of these two! We got home in time to have pizza for dinner and wind down a bit for bed! 

We had a great Spring Break filled with good adventures and some good quality time at home too! we had such fun in Charleston and in Athens and getting to experience things with my babies seriously just makes this momma so happy! I love showing these two the world! 
Have a great day and see y'all soon! 
Thanks for stopping by!

Show and Tell Tuesday! House Tour 2016

Happy Tuesday Everyone! Today I am linking up with Andrea for Show and Tell Tuesday! Today it is House Tour! I have always loved these posts, but have never participated in one because of the fact that we were in a two bedroom apartment, which was tiny for our family of four. This past April we bought our home and moved in and three months later we are finally here at this post and I am so excited to join along and invite you all into our home! It is still a work in progress and none of the walls have been re-painted but I am loving all the grey tones for now, it keeps the home neutral and cool until I feel like spicing things up! Come on in!  We are still decorated from Fourth of July, but here is the front entrance.  When you walk into our home this is the first thing you see. There is a hallway to the left of the staircase, and to the right is the dining room. This is our formal dining room! I need to do an updated tour of this room but for now I b...

2019 Year In Review: Part 3

Hello!  It is such a hard time in the world right now. It has been a couple months since I last wrote, life has been busy, but while everyone is social distancing, staying home, and doing our part to get rid of this nasty virus I wanted to post some memories of last year to remember. October-December of 2019 were packed full of activities, and just going through the pictures is exhausting, so I have no idea how I even kept up! Grab a drink, and cozy up and I hope you enjoy! October  October started out with birthday naps. All three kiddos are in the same room, and I was laying on the bed with Skyler and we all napped and was just what this momma needed for her birthday!  Hubby brought me the most beautiful flowers for my day and we got booed, by a mystery neighbor Naps were had, especially in mommy's arms  and all of the kindergarten crafts occurred. We painted a pumpkin after her favorite book character Ferdinand.  Quick f...
