We had a few days off this week for the Eid al-Fitr holiday, which marks the end of Ramadan. We both had to work a little during the holiday, but each day we got out. One day we went to a mall and out to eat. A few days we took the boys to the Embassy to play and swim, and today we went to the science center and aquarium. We also got a few small projects done around the house. One of them was Nathan putting a rail on Caleb's bed. Many nights Caleb tells us that he 'fell out of his big boy bed.' Well, not anymore Caleb!
Today we went to the science center and aquarium. It was the busiest we have ever seen it, but I guess after being indoors for one month straight during the day, a lot of people wanted to get out of the house. The boys enjoyed playing in the giant sand pit, and walking around the new exhibits.
Then we wandered across the hall to the aquarium. The boys love coming here, and Caleb is getting really good at pointing out the sea creatures. Today he showed us the eel, lion fish, seahorses, sting rays, clown fish, sea turtles, and sharks!
Ben was mesmerized by the big shark tank.
And we ended the day with chocolate ice cream cones.
It was a fun day and we were glad to get out and do stuff with the boys.
Back to work tomorrow for one day, then potty training for Caleb starts this weekend. Stay tuned….

Nice day out and about. The science center and aquarium is a big hit with the boys. And what's not to like about ice creme? Good luck over the weekend. A smart boy like Caleb should pick it up well.
Love, Dad and Mom P.
We had ice cream yesterday too! Love you all! Good luck on the potty Caleb....maybe some M & Ms are in your future :)
Fun family day out - You have a great aquarium. Chocolate ice cream is sure a nice way to end a hot hot hot day. You will do great this weekend Caleb, you are ready (love the rails on your bed - they will keep you nice and snug).
Love you all 4,
Mom & Dad
