The day started out lovely, we were barefoot on the deck enjoying the sunshine.
Then later in the afternoon, it started snowing. I don't know who was more excited. Me or the kids! Of course it was a wet snow that didn't last very long, but it was still beautiful.
Friday was a beautifully cold day. Colin was ANGRY that it didn't snow more than what it did the night before.
Our first stop of the day was the aquarium. Colin was 3 years old the last time we went (I was pregnant with Carson then). So, he really didn't remember it very well. Both boys LOVED the aquarium with the big, "talking" fish.
After the aquarium, we decided to head to New Foundland Gap so Colin could see some snow. There was some on the side of the road and it was VERY, VERY COLD!!!!!!
Friday and Saturday nights, we went to Fannie Farkle's and The Village (2 of our most favorite places). The boys loved the Christmas trees and the fountain in The Village. The little scavengers were patting down their daddy for more coins to throw in the fountain.
Before coming home, we had to stop and get the traditional National Park picture. Carson had never been in one before.
Although we missed our families, we feel blessed to have had the chance to go on this vacation (I'm sure the last before our new little guy arrives).
We are looking forward to decorating for Christmas and just watching the wonder and amazement of the season on the kids' faces. Although we have fun with gifts and decorations, we are sure to explain to the boys the real reason for celebrating Christmas. We let them know that we are celebrating the birth of Jesus, that He was God's gift to us. What a wonderful gift!
