Daddy and the Girls

This weekend we had a super fun visit with JD's sister, Amy, and her girls Abby and Kenzie. They arrived late Friday night, which made for a fun Saturday morning surprise for Riley. She was sooo excited to see her cousins and Aunt Amy. It didn't take long for her to warm up to our guests...she became quite attached to all of them very quickly. I think she loved all of the loving attention!!!

After a yummy breakfast, prepared by the one and only Chef Daddy-o, we headed to the aquarium. Riley was a bit hesitant about reaching in to pet the stingray this visit (we blame this on the three bites that she came home with from daycare this week).

Kenzie was brave...she even attempted to feed the stingray with some help from her Uncle JD.


The girls enjoyed climbing in all of the alcoves of the "under the sea" caverns. They even had the opportunity to watch a diver.

Abby's favorite stop...the penguins...and they were quite playful and fun to watch today.

After the Ocean Journey, we walked through the pouring down rain to grab lunch at Mellow Mushroom, then I headed home with Riley for nap time, while the rest of the crew hit the River Journey, followed by Wild Ocean 3D at the IMAX.
With storms brewing outside in the late afternoon, we all stayed in the rest of the evening. No worries, the girls made for some fun entertainment.

Two of the sweetest cousins ever!!!

We all dreaded the end to such a fun weekend. The girls all had a blast together...we only wished they lived closer. Abby and Kenzie would make grrrreat babysitters!

Love you girls! Can't wait to see you again soon.
