One adventure after another...

Courtney's about ready to head back to Utah, so we have crammed a few more fun adventures into the last few days.

Yesterday we took it easy in the morning and then we headed over to Stew Leonards. Not the most exciting place, but a place you have to see if you're ever visiting Norwalk, CT. We got a few things there (don't worry Corrine, you'll be getting some tortillas from there very soon!) and decided to head over to the Maritime Aquarium. This is one of Abi's favorite places. We can usually get through it in less than an hour though, she doesn't like to stop and look for too long.
We got there as they were feeding this huge turtle.
What a cute two-headed leatherback sea turtle!

Then, today, we were hoping to go see the Statue of Liberty, but since it wasn't supposed to get out of the teens (temperature with the wind chill factored in) we decided that probably wouldn't be the most fun of adventures with the kids (or without them for that matter). Instead we waited until after Emma's nap and went up to the Trumbull Mall to let the girls play at the play area and just wander around. It was nice to get out but at the same time, take it kind of easy since we've been going and going.

For dinner we hit up Orem's diner-it's another one of those places that aren't too exciting, but somewhere you have to visit when you're out here.

It was DELICIOUS!!!
