Adventure Aquarium

Here are some photos from our trip to the Adventure Aquarium in Camden.  We went the day before New Year's Eve when Rob and Ella had off for Christmas vacation.  The girls' favorite parts were the hippos, sharks, and petting areas like the sea stars and sting rays.

Library Yogi

Molly and I have been going to do yoga at the library on Friday mornings.  One of the librarians has a weekly kids' yoga and books' session and we love it!  Each week there is a different theme, like jungle animals or dinosaurs and the library reads a book and then the kids have to follow his lead to do yoga poses that mimic the animal.  Here are some pictures of Molly doing some yoga:
