Jesse and Amber got here on Monday midday and we just relaxed that day. We went to the mall and shopped a bit. Pete came home from work and was in a lovely mood, though he was glad that Amber became attached to his big orange fish and that it was finding a new home. He has been after me forever to let him get rid of it. At least now I know it will have a good home, or as good home as one can have when your owner surfs on you.
Tuesday we went to the North Carolina Musuem of Natural Science. It is a free muesuem in Raleigh and it is pretty nice. It is pretty big and takes a couple of hours. Jesse and I learned our favorite fish, the Slippery Dick. I have video of us pretending that we are not adults and we kept making Amber say it. hehe.
Amber is a bright child, so she enjoyed learning about everything.
She is also a huge dinosaur fan. I swear she knows more than most about them.
Wednesday we went to the North Carolina Zoo. I am always looking for an excuse to go. Pete went once when we first moved here and that was enough for him. The day was a little overcast and it rained some in the afternoon, but it was a nice day to go. It was alot of walking, though that didn't faze Amber. She ran or skipped the entire zoo and still had energy. Oh, to be 5 again!
The gorilla that wanted nothing to do with us. He kept turning his back.
A giraffe and ostriches.
Thursday we went to Exploris, which is a kid friendly musuem in Raleigh. While we were there we also saw an IMAX movie. The Ant Bully in 3D. It was really good.
Jesse enjoying the masks from around the world exhibit.
Amber getting lost in the big head.
My favorite exhibit. You were suppose to put the tiles into the side of the scale which you thought they belonged. A benefit or cost of getting a job. In the end it shows that you shouldnt get a job. That there are not enough benefits. Had to take a picture to back up me not working right now.
After the musuem, we went out to Maggiano's for dinner with Garrett and his friends that he was visiting. After that we came back so Jesse could pack. I entertained her and bribed Amber to go to sleep by giving her stuffed animals.
They left bright and early Friday morning and I was sad to see them go. It was so good to hang out with Jesse after all these years and get to see Amber. I hope Jesse's plan works out and then I will get to see them more often. Something to look foward to.
