Twin's 2nd Birthday

Hard to believe we are celebrating 2 years! It does feel like a milestone though. We had a fun day...though it didn't end so fun with Dante ending up in the ER. We played outside (on of their favorite things to do)...and turns out that really didn't help Dante with his breathing issue later that day. Massimo & Abrianna went swimming at the neighbor's house...while Dante stayed home with dad and at that point I was a bad mommy for not taking him to the ER at that point in time...the pressure from the kids to go swimming and do birthday activities got to me!

mmmm...even though Dante didn't feel well he still was a good trooper through the birthday celebration!













Presents! Massimo just couldn't contain himself with the excitement...he led most of the birthday activities...and Abi loved ripping the paper to shreds!

Our Trip to the SF Aquarium by the Bay

Fun at the SF Aquarium by the Bay

We took a trip to the SF Aquarium by the Bay today to satisfy Massimo's constant wish to "see the ocean and fishies". At the end of the day we asked Massimo if he had fun (yes, of course he says) and his most favorite thing was the...scuba diver! Yes, that's all he talked about when we asked him what he saw. Of course when we jogged his memory and talked about the fish and what we did he enjoyed "finding Nemo" (one of his favorite movies - and where the fascination of scuba divers all started...don't be surprised if that's what he ends up being for Halloween!) and touching the Stingray and sharks...and outside of the aquarium he got to see trains (Bart), trolleys, buses, and of course the ocean! It was all very exciting for him to be in a big city like that with so much variety around him...so many things to see. The twins loved it, too. Abrianna got to interact a lot more since she is walking and more able, it was a little hard to let Dante crawl so he got to snack and check it all out from stroller view. He did get out at the end in the toddler area and got to touch the sea urchins and he loved that so much! He got really excited watching all the fish swim by. It was a fun day (and tiring chasing after at least 2 and sometimes 3).
