This morning the girls wanted to brush their teeth together so I got them both set up and they were happy as clams. They are both happier when the other one is with them! It must be a sister thing:)
We met up with Tara, Nolan, Miss Dee and Kathy this morning and we all headed over to Mote Aquarium. We all had a great time getting to catch up, letting the kids play and see really cool marine animals! (I am terrified of jellyfish so I had to get some pictures of them.)
Samantha wanted her picture with the jellyfish too!
Creepy jellyfish!

Samantha and Sam the Sea Cow. (Actually his name was Hank or something like that.)
These are such cool animals!
Natalie loved giving the manatees kisses thru the glass!
The girls were such troopers at the aquarium and were super happy to stop for lunch! Natalie turned her plate / frisbee into a hat!
Within 10 minuted of being in the car both girls fell asleep.
After nap, we headed to the local mall to let the girls run off some energy. It was pouring down rain again this afternoon/evening so this was a great indoor activity.
We all rode a train that goes all around the mall. We have tried to ride this train the last few times we have been down here and it was never running so this was a nice surprise!
Overall this was a busy but fulfilling day. It is always nice when you can catch up and spend time with old friends!
