Started the morning off with a visit to the Loggerhead Marinelife Center. I haven't taken the kids since before Cherry was walking, so it was her first visit that she was able to really look at the turtles and fish. She was pretty excited, walking around yelling "turtle". I meant to take some photos of the turtles, but that plan went out the window while making sure the three girls were staying close and nursing Jasper.
The trip ended up being exhausting for everyone. Jasper had a melt down in the car and I had to park at a gas station for nearly 30 minutes so he could nurse and calm down. Then every time I put him back in his car seat he started to scream again. Ended up just going for it, rolling the windows down, and crossing my fingers. Luckily it worked and he fell asleep almost instantly. Everyone went down for a nap as soon as we got home (thank god).
Now we're wrapping up the day with a little homemade pizza and 1977 Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh.
Man, I love Loggerhead; we even talked about that place in my Marine Biology class! Apparently the teacher knows someone who works there. You are a brave lady, taking all 4 kids out there by yourself!
