Adventure: Newport Aquarium

For New Years we went to Anthony's brother Trevor and his girlfriend Kendra's house in Cincinnati to celebrate Christmas with that side of the family. We ended up making a weekend out of it and were there from Saturday through Monday. No one else was coming into town until Sunday evening so we decided to take Rowan to the Newport Aquarium in Kentucky and we had so much fun! Rowan is turning out to be a huge nature lover so spending a few hours checking out all the fish and other underwater creatures was right up her alley. 

 

The Aquarium was lots of fun and we enjoyed walking around outside on our way back to the car because it is smack dab in the middle of the Newport Levee which is on the riverwalk full of restraunts and stores. My one suggestion would be to go on a week day to avoid large crowds but it probably didn't help that we were there on a Sunday which was also New Years Eve. We are excited to go back again and maybe then Rowan will be old enough to experience all the touch pools.

Rowan's First Christmas

We celebrated Christmas on Christmas morning and Rowan caught on very fast to the opening of gifts. Which I was very happy about because I truly thought this year was going to be a bust and it wouldn't be until next year that she really knew what was going on. We got her a ball pit, a little people bus, some other toys and a couple outfits. We had lots of family in and out all morning to have some breakfast casserole and tell Rowan Merry Christmas. It was a wonderful day spent hanging out as a family and playing with our little girl.
