Family Fun Day

Today was Family Fun Day. Brian took the day off and our first stop was the dentist. Annika had her first visit to the dentist. She did really well. I think that it was a really good thing that her aunt Heidi was the hygienist cleaning her teeth. She was so good with Annika and sat down with her and let her see all of the tools and how they worked. It was great! Heidi did such a good job!

Annika keeps telling me that Heidi tickled her teeth.
Annika sat in the chair and had her legs up in the air for most of the cleaning. It was just funny. The great news after the check-up was Annika has no cavities. :)


After Annika's teeth were all clean we went into the toy room, and played while Brian got his teeth cleaned. Heidi turned on Princess and the Frog, and the girls loved sitting in their bean bag chairs.

After Brian was done, we went out to lunch with Heidi, and Karen. We went to Thai Basil. I don't know why but we have been on a big Thai kick lately. mmmm it is so good.


After lunch we headed to the aquarium. We went last spring, and we showed up on a day of spring break, and the place was packed. Today it was so nice. There weren't very many people there, and Annika could move from tank to tank and look at all of the different fish. She was so brave and she touched the sting ray, and the sea star, and an urchin thing. She is just getting so big. Ady loved all of the fish, she sat and kicked her legs and smiled the whole time. We put Annika and Ady by one of the big fish tanks and Annika bent down to help Ady see. I love their sister love!

After the aquarium we headed to Cold stone. Annika picked cotton candy ice cream with white chocolate chips. They handed her, her ice cream, and she walked off and found a table and started enjoying! She is so independent! We sat and enjoyed some ice cream and then headed home.


When we got home Annika decided to draw all of the animals that we saw at the aquarium. This was one of the spiders that we saw. What a great drawing.

I loved our family fun day, and hope we can have another one soon!

This is a great post. I love her legs in the air. (do any other kids ever do that?) and I especially like her picture. I think Ady looks so cute sitting in a bean bag all by herself.
