Veteran's Day Weekend

We had a great holiday weekend with awesome weather and family.

On Saturday we got up early to get ready and head to the Monterey Bay Aquarium! It's about a 2 hour drive so I was slightly worried about that but it turned out to be easy. The babies were great and slept most of the way. I fed them all and then we changed them and headed in. We went with most of Patrick and I's family and all together had 23 people! It was really fun and a perfect day for it. The babies are starting to be really interested in looking around and observing, so they loved it! They were mesmerized by all the fish and animals. I haven't been there since before we got married and there are a lot of new things! The adults loved it just as much as the kids I think!

We brought our valco baby stroller and had two of the babies sitting in the stroller and then had the third in the ergo. Patrick and I both took turns wearing one of them and it worked out really well. The babies loved being able to look around in the stroller. Only a couple more months until we can use the joey seat! But, I do love getting a little cuddle time with the babies so i'll probably still wear sometimes too.

After walking around for a while we stopped to have lunch. Its getting a lot easier to feed them in public now since they are very efficient and finish a lot faster. I actually fed them one at a time since I was trying to eat too and needed at least one hand free! After we ate we went back in for a bit and the babies fell asleep after about 30 minutes.

After we had our aquarium fill, we headed to the beach to enjoy the sun. The babies woke after a bit of a short nap when we transfered them to the car but they were in great moods and loved the sand! We didn't take them to the water since its pretty cold but they loved having their feet in the sand and enjoying watching their cousins. I fed them again before we headed out and they passed out and slept the whole way home.

I had a pot roast in the crock pot for when we got home and they babies actually slept through our dinner! Once they woke, I fed them and we did some play time with daddy and then gave them baths. We have switched up our routine so ill have to do a post on that soon.

Sunday we had a lazy day. We went to church and then came home to just have some family time. We watched football and hung out a lot outside since the weather was so nice.

On Monday, Patrick had the day off so we had some more family time. We were going to go to the parade but decided not to and just watch it on tv. It wasn't going to work with the babies schedule to go. Monday night we headed to my parents house for dinner.

It was a fun family filled weekend! I can't wait for the babies to get a bit older and really be able to play and do fun things but for now this age is really fun!
