Aquarium and Grandpa K

To celebrate KK's birthday, Daddy took Friday off and we went to an aquarium to see Nemo and his friends. KK loved it and we all had a nice time. (check out that shark so close to my baby - eeek!)

On Saturday, we met with KK's Grandpa for breakfast. She had a great time giggling and laughing with him. The restaraunt staff came out and sang to her which she loved until the end when they all shouted and clapped...then she freaked out a little. A balloon lady came over and made her a "happy birthday princess wand" and all was well again. She has barely let go of it since.
On another topic: All of the images that I've seen from the bridge collapse in Minneapolis are sad and horrifying. But out of all of them, this is the one that hits me closest to home. The middle road sign in this image (Hiawatha Avenue) is the one that always meant home was just around the corner. It's terrifying to think that I've driven over this bridge several times with KK in the car. What's even more terrifying is the thought that this kind of catastrophe, or really any catastrophe, can happen to anyone, anywhere, anytime. I wish I could stop all of them.

Hope you are having a good week... : )
