Happy Birthday 2 You-The Aquarium!

So Little Heidi Anne has now turned 2!! We didn't do much on the actual birthday day-day. She got to open a present and have some cookies. We saved the super fun stuff for when we went down the the valley to celebrate her birthday with the rest of our family (therefore her cousins) on Saturday.
The Aquarium!
We went to the Living Planet Aquarium. We'd gone before (when Heidi Anne was 5 months old) with my sister family, (Kayla was barely 1 at the time). So it just seemed right that we went with my sister, her family,(This time the Girls both 2 Years old and little Rykken was the 5 month old), and even Heidi Anne's Nana was able to come too.
It was so much fun trying to keeping up with the girls! They kept wanting to look and see different things. Kayla kept saying my favorite phrase in her sweet little voice, "Come on Heidi, Come on!" I think it is the cutest thing to hear.
They got to pet a sting ray-well almost, if nothing else, they got to play in the water with a sting ray. The girls then played in the coral reef play tunnels. We weren't to worried about the girls getting lost, Kayla's shoes have lights on them and Heidi Anne's shoes squeak,(my sister & I are very smart like that). Those two can run (Fast!)-but they can't hide (for to long).We then saw the penguins, yes penguins. Little Gentoo Penguins, which were pretty cute. They were just swimming and playing like little clowns. But unlike fish were the exact same type of fish can look completely different, all the penguins looked exactly like eachother-so the girls were off again.They had fun looking at the fish, the frogs, the huge snake, the little alligator (a caiman), and more fish! Sadly, it was super crowded, and Heidi Anne doesn't handle crowds to well. Not to mention it was nearly lunch & nap time. So while we didn't spend as much time there as we had hoped-I think it was much time as Heidi Anne could tolerate. Besides-maybe one day we'll have a real full size aquarium here in the state. (Hey, I can dream can't I?)
All in all-Kayla and her had tons of fun-and there was still plenty more to do in the day!
