The New England Aquarium

We went to the New England Aquarium with Ryan on March 7th. Sorry for the delay we have been busy. We went as a family, just the three of us. Ryan had not been since last winter. He was so much more interested this year than last. I think his favorite parts were the sharks and penguins. The same as last year. There were these penguins called "rockhopper" they look just like a macaroni penguins but smaller. We just called them macaroni penguins anyways. Ryan must have had fun because he is still talking about weeks later. First we had to see the penguins.
Mama, I can't look at the camera. I'll watching penguins.

Look More

Ryan liked this part too. The star fish.

More star fish

Ryan got to pick up and hold a star fish. He loved it. He is such a boy. He is always picking up beetles and insects. Thank God for Jeff telling and picking them up with him. They gross me out.

Looking down at some sharks and turtles.

Ryan says the turtle is slow.

You can kind of see the turtle under this light on the right.

Once more we had to see the penguins. I guess I didn't get a picture of the rockhopper penguins. sorry

Lastly, before we left for the day. We saw the jelly fish. They Ryan was so tired, he had a mini meltdown before we left. He fell asleep on the way home. We promised him a strawberry milkshake on the way home. When we got home he woke up and wanted his strawberry milkshake from Burger King. Jeff had to go back out and get it to avoid the drama.

The First Day of Spring

On the First Day Of Spring, Saturday. I went to get a massage(a birthday gift from Jeff and Ryan from Dec.). While I was there. Ryan and Jeff went to Home Depot, after running around the yard for a few hours (it was 70 degrees out). Then Ryan was running around Home Depot. Jeff tells me Ryan would not leave the flower department. So, the only way Jeff got Ryan out of Home Depot was to buy a couple of flowers to plant. The wasn't too frozen here, the flowers might make it. Ryan dug a hole with some help from Dad, filled the dirt in, patted it down and of course the best part watering it. Ryan used his own watering can to watered his flowers. filling in the dirt for the first flower
digging a hole for the second flower. Ryan wanted to put the whole pot in the ground.

And of course the best part..Watering

Almost Spring

It is almost and we have been outside. Ryan loves to run, run and run. We play hide and seek, tag and in the wet sand box.

Also, we went to a friends birthday party on March 6th and here is Ryan all dressed up for it. Ryan climbing a tree his size.

All fancy for his friends birthday party.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Ryan likes stickers and when he gets them he puts them on his belly. Well, here is a bumper sticker. Who needs a car?

Pals

Here is Ryan and Scrappy being buddies on the coach watching Dinosaur Train (one of Ryan's new favorite TV shows on PBS. It is all about Dinosaurs and Ryan can identify many of them.).

It's Raining It's Pouring

Even though it is too cold for a rain coat still Ryan wanted to try on his rain gear. A Mickey Mouse rain coat and boots. Ryan can put the boots on by him self and on the right feet most of the time.
