The Aquarium

This weekend we went to Charleston to visit some friends. When we arrived on Friday we went to the Aquarium. The boys had so much fun. When we went last year Benjamin was just 6 weeks old.

When we first got there the boys were so excited to see all the fish

Benjamin was pointing at them he was so excited!! Benjamin checking out more fish- look how big they are The recently brought 4 Penguins to the aquarium and opened the exhibit a few weeks ago. They are hoping to keep them there for a year and then see how they are doing. It was interesting to watch them and the boys LOVED them.

Good Ole Berry Pickin'

This morning we went to the Strawberry Patch with some friends and had a BLAST! I love picking fresh strawberries and from the pictures so do the boys! I am looking forward to making many more trips to the strawberry patch this summer!!

The Strawberries were ready to be picked!! BIG YUMMY JUICY!

Christian was so cute I told him to pick only the red strawberries and he went right to work

So sweet I remember when I took him to the Strawberry patch the first time and he couldn't even walk! Yummy he really didn't want to stop for the picture OOOO that was a sour biteMommy and my boy pickin' berriesWe had so much fun he makes me smile I am so glad that he is mine! :0)
