First Major Outing as a Mom of Two

Tripp and I did one of our favorite things this week.  We got to spend time with two of our favorite people while doing something he really enjoys...visiting the GA Aquarium!  Although Rob and I have a season pass, we hadn't had a chance to go since Camille was born. I figured it was definitely time to remedy that situation.  This was my first attempt at a solo outing as a mom of two.  I had been to the grocery store one time by myself with both kids, but I had not yet tried to go to any other public places without Rob's help.  I'm not sure I would have ventured out if Katherine weren't going with me.  I knew she'd be a big help with Tripp if I had to deal with a cranky baby or if I just needed to stop and nurse.  Plus, Tripp and I LOVE spending time with Katherine and Lyla and both really needed to have a fun playdate with them.

Camille mostly slept while we were there and only woke once to nurse.

 



The kids were pretending to fall down and would laugh at themselves.  It's kinda gross that they were all over the floor, but they were having fun.

 



We let them run around after lunch and they had fun chasing each other.  It's nice to go during school hours because it's not crowded and they have more room to play.

 

Still sleeping!

The dolphin show is always the highlight of the aquarium...in Tripp's opinion.  I like it too, but I've seen it so many times it would be great if they changed up the routine a bit.  Tripp, on the other hand, talks about it non-stop and is always captivated during the entire performance.

 

So, all went well!  I think we'll continue to journey out now that my confidence in handling both in public has been boosted!
