Marine World and Ken's Rafting Trip





Last weekend Grandma and Grandpa Willoughby were nice enough to watch the little man for us so we could go on a date to Six Flags Marine World. We are such big kids. :) I got to do the dolphin encounter (something I have wanted to do for ages). I got to feed and pet the dolphin. The feel kind of like rubber and are sooo cute! They are a lot smaller than I thought they would be up close.
Ken got to ride some of the rollercoasters- he went on some of them a few times in a row. One picture is of him waving to me from the last car. ( I didn't go on the big ones becuase the last time I went I almost lost my lunch- eek!)

The other pictures are of Ken's rafting trip with the boys this weekend and of the painting Aunt Jessica made for Aidan. The picture of Ken I think is hillarious becuase he has his feet all kicked up on the raft. He is the only person I know that can go over rapids all kicked back relaxed.
With the painting that Jess made if you look you can see that the path sign has Aid's name on it,the clock has the time he was born, the flag has a W on it for Willoughby and the hot air balloon has his birthday on it. Very cool. My sister is so talented. :)

Some more pics from our trip





AIDAN'S FIRST TRIP TO GRAMMA SUE'S





This past week I took Aid back to the Bend to Gramma Sue's to meet his other Aunts and Uncle. He was terrific on his first plane ride and seemed to really enjoy the taking off part. He seems to like flying as much as his Daddy. :) He didn't cry once! It was a bit difficult though trying to use the bathroom on the plane while holding the little man during turbulence! HA!

Also while we were home I was able to meet with Jess so she could see him too. Aid really seems to like anyone with glasses (presumably because Ken wears them :) ) and other than a few crying jags from teething (the bottom teeth should be coming in any day now! ) was just his usual smiley, happy boy self.

The pictures are of Aidan and his Gramma Sue, on the plane, with his Uncle Eric and Aunts Bean and Jessie. Everybody just fell in love with our sweet boy. :) It was so great to be home. I have missed everyone so much and can't wait to visit again.
