Weekend

Unbelievably, I forgot my camera again. It was actually in the car, but I forgot to bring it to the Aquarium. Luckily, I had my phone.

We went to New Orleans for the second weekend in a row. My Aunt Linda was in town for her annual visit, so we went to have dinner with her. We had dinner Friday night at Cafe Giovanni. It was delicious and the company was good. Her friend, who we have had dinner with on other occasions, was not able to join us. But we got to meet and have dinner with her lovely niece. It was a really nice evening. And the unbelievable happened.... I ran into one of my best friend's from high school's parents. I was very excited to see them. I haven't seen them in at least ten years. They had her daughter with them and she was adorable and very well behaved. They were actually seated at the table next to us and we kept hearing her say "that's my mommy's friend." But she kept looking at me like she did not actually believe that I was her mommy's friend and wanted to know who I was and why I was talking to her grandparents. Oddly enough, her daughter is three days older than Addison and Addison was a name that they considered. I am going to meet up with her mommy next time I am in town.

On Saturday we took the girls to the Aquarium. We have an Audubon Zoo/Aquarium membership, so we try to get as much use out of it as we can. Because of this we go to one or the other fairly often. So much so, that you would think that our children would get tired of going. But they are just as excited to go as if it were their first time. In fact, we ate at Canal Place for lunch and when we were done eating Addison got up and did a little dance and sang "Yay! We're going to the Aquarium!" So much so, that the people at the table next to us chuckled. I think she likes the Aquarium because everything is behind glass, because last time we went to the zoo she acted like she had never been to the zoo before. She is definitely our nervous nelly. When Regan went to pet the shark she wanted no part of it and wasn't particularly happy that Regan was going to do it.

We also got haircuts on Saturday. Our hairstylist and his wife have talked me into letting Regan's hair grow. She has been wanting it to be long, but I'm not convinced that it is going to look good long. We'll see how that goes. I think we are going to start taking Addison with us next time we go.

On a side note, we have finally found something that Addison likes to watch on t.v. She loves Dora. We bought her a video for the car and it is very helpful. That is until it is her sister's turn to pick.
