Day 3

Today was a long, fun, exhausting, and exciting day all in one. We got up this morning around 6:30 and went to the aquarium at Fort Fisher. Emma did great the whole trip. It took about an hour and 45 minutes to get there and she slept the whole way there and then the whole way back. I was a little concerned that as young as she is she wouldn't like the aquarium but she LOVED it. She talked to the fish and banged on the glass the whole time. We got to see all sorts of fish, reptiles, sharks, jelly fish, alligators, and they even had an albino alligator. Before we left, we went to the gift shop and got Emma a little stuffed turtle. After we left there, we stopped by Old Navy to do a little bit of shopping and then headed back to the beach house. We got back around lunch time and then my mom and dad got here about 1:30. Mom, Dad, Emma and I went to the grocery store while Josh stayed at the house to do a few things. Emma loved being pushed in the shopping cart by Papa J. She smiled and laughed the whole time we were in there. After going to the grocery store, we ate dinner a little early and then we took Emma out on the boat for the very first time. When we got back to the house, we pushed Emma in her little car and walked up to the pier. It is so nice to have my mom and dad here. I am excited about going out on the beach tomorrow and playing.
