Aunt Katy had a stay-cation planned at the end of April/beginning of May (meaning a vacation from work, but she stayed home instead of traveling), so we pretended to be on vacation too and joined her for a few fun outings during the week. On Monday, we went to Moody Gardens in Galveston to explore the pyramids.
We visited the aquarium pyramid first (by far the boys' favorite), but none of my pictures from there turned out very good. I guess my camera didn't adjust well to the dark. Katy hadn't been there since she was a kid, so she had a lot of fun too. I think she was more giddy than my boys when we got to the penguins. One was splashing around in front of Aaron for the longest time and he was mesmerized. We also enjoyed the seals!
After the aquarium we took a snack break outside by the garden area.

After our snack break, we headed to the rainforest pyramid.
 |
| Watching some super creepy bats |
 |
| The monkeys were feeling friendly so we took some quick pictures. |
 |
| Can I have one??? |
 |
| Watching the "pretty birds" |
We also joined Katy at the zoo on Friday afternoon that same week. Kristen brought Hannah Joy and Eli as well and we had a fun morning together.
 |
| Someone attached to Katy right away |
 |
| We've been to the zoo a bunch of times and I've never seen the bears awake and this one was actually up and moving, pretty cool! |
 |
| Note, this was MAY and we were wearing sweaters...CRAZY! |
 |
| I think the cats were enjoying the cooler temps, they were all up and playing too |
 |
| Snack Break! |

| Aunt Katy took the two big kids on the merry-go-round. (Eli is being hidden by the giraffe) |

| Cuddly little girl |

| The boys being silly together, Aaron is pretty sure he's as big as they are : ) |
We headed back home right after lunch and then Katy and I took off for a Sister's Weekend in Galveston!
