Weekend O' Fun

We Gardipees had a weekend packed with fun! On Saturday we attended our friends' (Anna and Randy) son, Wyatt's Birthday Party at one of Kealan's fav places - Jump Planet. She had an awesome time, of course, and it was cool to visit with some friends I haven't seen in a while. G however, still hasn't experienced the joy that is Jump Planet. Tiernan is sick with a cold - AGAIN - and G decided to sacrifice himself and stay home with him so K and I could go play. How sweet! That evening Jeanne and Jay (Grandma and Jaypa) came to visit and that is always a blast. After waking up some very grumpy kids, we had a great visit.

G and his Boys, Chuck, Bryce, and Randy, participated in the annual golf tournie on Sunday and came in just shy of 3rd. Needless to say they weren't very pleased. Since G was gone all day, he took Monday off of work and we went to the aquarium. It was Kealan's inaugural visit, and she was a little wary of the glass separating the fish from us on terra firma. It didn't take her long to get into it! (Sorry some of the pics are blurry!)

One of K's favs, the seal, below......and above the surface. As we watched them swim from below, K announced to everyone, "Every time you see a seal, say, 'Ar, Ar!'"(barking like a seal).My fav, the otter, below...

Kealan's favorite, Little Red Striped Fish, as she was dubbed by K. We don't know what her official name is due to the display monitor being out of commission.
K' s picture of LRSF. As we were leaving her tank, K said, "OK honey, now you can go back to sleep." and blew her a kiss!

Some random pics from the last few days:

I told my mom I would post a pic for her of the gorgeous fuchsia that G gave to me for mother's day. The color is a little off, though, as it's a DEEP purple.

Playing dress-up (it's hard to see the ears due to the flash, but T makes a beautiful Minnie!)
