Happy Valley-PNW Trip Day 8

Friday was our last day with Jim and Denny.  They took the kids on a walk to feed the ducks again that morning, but I didn't get any pictures.  After Beckett's morning nap we met up with Aly and Ryan and Ella at the aquarium.  It was about the size of our aquarium here in Utah, but they had some different stuff.  It was really fun.  The boys both got to touch the sting rays and even tried feeding them pieces of raw fish.  Talia liked the jelly fish and anywhere she could splash.  

They also had this fun bird area that you could go in and hold a bird.  Weston, Davin, and I did it.  That was probably my favorite part.  Beckett was pretty fascinated by the fish and the animals.  He stared at the bearded dragon for awhile.  It was kind of funny.  I thought the chameleon was neat.

Right at the end Talia hit her wall and had to be carried out of the aquarium screaming.  I just strapped her in her car seat and let her scream while we waited for everyone else to finish up.  Can you tell we were nearing the end of a long vacation? :)

That afternoon while Talia and Beckett were napping Ian and I snuck out for a quick little date-ish outing.  We ran to the dollar store to look for sunglasses and had a blast wandering around and looking at all the kooky stuff you find at the dollar store.  We ended up leaving with 2 pairs of sunglasses and a less kid looking grabber that Ian really thought we needed.  It ended up coming in handy during the drive home.  We also went out for ice cream.

The day ended with a fun outing with everyone.  We met up at Godfather's Pizza for dinner.  It was really yummy and they had the soda machine that has like 200 options, so we had fun experimenting with that.  The boys also discovered the Foosball game where you win the "ball" which is a gumball.  Between that and the coloring pages and crayons they were entertained.

After dinner we decided to go play at a nearby park.  It was really fun and relaxing.  The kids loved getting to run around and play Frisbee and catch.  We put the babies in the swing together.  It was pretty much the cutest thing ever even though Beckett wasn't too happy about it after 30 seconds.  

We took group pictures then hugged and said goodbye to Grandma and Aly, Ryan, and Ella.  It was so fun to spend time with them!
