Busch Gardens, Aquarium, Great Explorations...Oh My! {Photo Recap}

We have been having a blast the pat two weeks!  With this Florida heat comes the need for water...and water fun we found!  Our Family Memberships come with wonderful perks, and one is the entire month of April is free admission to Great Explorations.  And boy oh boy did we max out our benefits!  We went FOUR times this month!  The past two weeks we also went to Busch Gardens, the Aquarium, TWO local spray parks, attended a best friends birthday party, play dates at the parks, Open Gym, attended our Church's Easter Egg Hunt,Easter Service and had Easter Dinner, attended our MOMS Club New Members Breakfast, said good bye to dear sweet friends of mine and even squeezed in a bridesmaid dress fitting.  It has been fabulous!!!  Behind the scenes I have been extremely busy with MOMS Club emails since we are holding elections for the new Board this coming week and the End of Year Banquet.  It's very bittersweet.  I have thoroughly enjoyed my term as President of our local Chapter!  Minh also had two more Orthodontic appointments and we celebrated out five year wedding anniversary!   Below is a photo bomb!  :o)

Celebrating Our 5 Year Anniversary!!!

On Wednesday, April 20th we celebrated five years of marriage!!!  I cannot believe how fast the years have gone...five years later we now are a family of SIX!  I now truly understand the phrase, "the days get longer, but the years get shorter."  My sweet parents watched the kiddos and we headed out to dinner at a very nice Vietnamese Restaurant and then went to our first movie in 3 years.  YAY!!!!  I realized how out of touch I was with things when a woman came into the theatre (scared me half to death, I might add) and asked me if I would like to order any food or drinks.  Whaaaat? THIS is what going to the movies is like now?  ha!  And we didn't take up the entire stock of high chairs at the restaurant.  I went in with just...wait for it... a purse!  gasp  No bulky diaper bag stuffed with diapers, flashcards, and all the necessary inbetweens for 4 kids.  I received a beautiful anniversary band (he sent me to the jewelers a few months ago to pick it out) and HE received a Hot Air Balloon Ride (with champagne and breakfast)!  He loved his present and we will try to schedule it within the next month.  It felt soooo nice to be out with my husband, wearing a {semi} new dress and a beautiful sparkly ring.  I felt like a princess with my prince!

April 20th, 2006

The kids waiting for me to unwrap my present!

I don't wear a lot of jewelry, so this is very very special!
Not  a great photo, but trust me, it's beautiful and so sparkly!
