Wonderful Weekend

We spent this Memorial Day weekend down in Newport News visiting our friends, Brent and Wendy Vallee and Kevin and Liz Hass. It was a great way to celebrate our anniversary (Sunday--six years!) and John's birthday (today!). Lots of good fellowship and fun activities. Brennan even slept great for naps and at night in his pack and play--in the same room as us, no less!

Despite a rather cloudy start to the day on Sunday, we got in some good beach time with the sun coming out shortly after our arrival. Brennan really enjoyed playing in the sand with some fun new beach toys, but wasn't really all that keen on going near the water (which was just fine since the water was pretty chilly).

He would only come down to where the sand started to get wet from the waves--and that was only while holding our hands. I think there was something about the waves that scared him.

We spent part of Monday checking out the Virginia Aquarium. There were all kinds of fun fish to look at, giant sea turtles and sharks, otters, snakes, and a sting ray touch pool. Brennan seemed to enjoy parts of it, but really, what keeps a 17-month-old's attention for longer than 2 minutes anyway?
