Jenkinson Aquarium

We wanted to take Brooklynn to the aquarium before Aaron had to start his surgery rotation. We decided we wanted to go on Wednesday but those plans changed. Brooklynn woke up screaming and wouldn't stop for 3 hours. She had been sick for 5 days with a cold so we thought it might be an ear infection. We scheduled a doctors appointment so we missed the aquarium that day. (side note: no ear infection-prob just really bad teething). 

On Thursday Brooklynn was doing a little better so we decided to venture down to Point Pleasant. She absolutely loved the aquarium. She especially loved the penguins (we spent 20 min just watching them), the seals, the sharks, and the parrots. We also went out onto the boardwalk but it was really windy and cold that day so we didn't stay out long. We ate at a resturant on the boardwalk and then went back to the aquarium to watch the seals be fed. Here are some pictures from our day. We will definitely go back with friends.. 

 

The City of Brotherly Love

We are sad that we missed this years golf tournament and dinner. We have done so much traveling in the last 6 months that we wanted to stay close to home and have some family together time.

We were showing our support for papa coach up in NJ!! 

Aaron has this week off from rotations and so we wanted to do something fun. Yesterday we decided to go to Philadelphia and see the sites. I have never been there and Aaron served his mission there so he got to show me around. Here are some pictures from the things we got to do. 

We started out at independence hall... It was the perfect day to be outside

Little did we know it was the day that the Constitution was signed. 

 

Then we headed over to the Liberty Bell 

Since Aaron served his mission in Philly we had to get an authentic philly cheesesteak. It was so good!! 

We then headed over to Love park. 

Lounging watching the water fountain

We saw where the Philly temple was being built... 

Then we headed over to the famous Rocky steps. 

First Aaron took Brooklynn up!!!

Then it was my turn to take her up!!

Then it was Brooklynn's turn to walk up!! She made it 1 step! 

She also got to ride on her first subway!! 

I'm so glad we got to spend the day together as a family! Brooklynn did so well being in a stroller all day! We were going to go to the aquarium today but unfortunately she isn't feeling well. We are heading to the doctor a little later. Maybe if she is feeling better tomorrow we will go.
