Sisters Saturday

Hatch Family Chocolates: where dreams come true. If what you dream about is the smoothest, most decadent, delicious chocolate you ever ate.

Joe enjoys rasberries on his cheeks a lot more than kisses. It is what it is.

I do enjoy a good sister outing.

Today I took the children to visit their aunties in Salt Lake. We first had a fried chicken picnic (indoors, on Em's floor since it was raining), then headed over to Hatch Family Chocolates so I could put another check on my UT bucket list. TV's favorite chocolate-making little people are famous for their hot cocoa but amazing in the pot de creme and hand-dipped chocolates areas as well, as we found out. These hips don't lie.

Then on to the Living Planet Aquarium. It is a crazy crowd on a Saturday, but we loved it! Pretty fish and penguins and otters and anacondas and paranas, etc. and so forth.

 Em is a little squeamish when it comes to octupussis. As she should be - those things are kind of gross.

Bless my sister's hearts for chasing Riley around the whole time we were there - she was so sugared up and so excited that she just rocketed from room to room, charging head first and windmilling her legs, Charlie Brown style, so that you expect her to fly off the ground at any moment. Joe enjoyed himself as well, but from our arms or shoulders - you could tell by the way he would hyperventilate and smack your head when he saw a bright shiny exhibit.

We are pleasantly tired now. Well, the babies are comatose. I expect we are all in for a good nights sleep.
