Well, this year we did a whole weekend of celebrating! On Friday night we got to go out to dinner just the two of us to our favorite restaurant Red Lobster! (Thanks mom for the GC). It was so yummy and so fun to just be together.
Then on Saturday we went to the world famous Tennessee Aquarium! Let me just tell you that this place is absolutely AMAZING!! It has two huge buildings, one for Ocean life and One for River and lake life! It was incredible!
The best part was the Butterfly Exhibit on the whole top floor of the Ocean building! It was a room full of hundreds of different butterflies that would come and land on you! The kids LOVED it! The pictures say it all!
Needless to say it was a wonderful Anniversary. The actual date was Sunday, and we just got to have a quiet dinner at home. What more could you ask for? Thanks Doug for 8 wonderful years, and for an eternity for me to love you even more!!!!
Pictures from the Aquarium!
The sting ray pool was just outside the butterfly room, you could pet the stingray!
Catching the Butterflies!!
Benson loved holding the butterflies, when we could catch them!
The butterfly spinach tree! I am not sure why but all the butterflies hung out by this tree.
This is one that came and landed on my hand! It looks black but its wings were the most beautiful blue!
Some butterflies sucking the juice out of oranges
Parker thought everything was so fun and amazing! Isn't he so happy and so cute!
This tank was full of Sharks, stingray and beautiful, huge fish!
The posers! They were loving this!
This is the amazing Penguin exhibit! They swim so fast!
Really does life get any better than to see your kids have so much fun!?
He is so grown up! When did he start to be such a big boy?
The drive home! They had such a long day, yet they are still so happy!
My two boys.

OH! Those places look so much fun! Congrats on 8 years!!!! Russ and I will be there on Monday, but we actually just celebrated this last weekend as well. I think on our actual anniversary, we are heading to Red Lobster. We love it, too! YUM! Congrats again! Your family is so darling and your kids are lucky to have such wonderful parents.
That is so awesome that you and Doug have been married for eight years! Cam and me will be four years this year. We are doing so good here I need to call you so we can catch up. How is the pregnancy coming? I can't believe how big Parker is. So its funny there is a Parker, Benson and Douglas Arizona here by us so now we are just trying to find a Lindsey and Brielle. Hope everything else is going well. We love you too and miss you so much!
Didn't even remember your anniversary. Hope you had a good one. Dinner at red lobster and new bedding sounds pretty good to me.
Glad you all got a day away before school starts.

So fun, can you believe it has been 8 years. We are getting so mature!!! The nice word for old. Glad you had a anniversary.
Fun!! We love the aquarium, and it never gets old cause like you said, the kids have so much fun. I still don't know what our plans are for sure next weekend...sorry to leave you hanging. When does school start again?
That looks like fun! Time sure does fly. I am so glad you are happy. It is so fun to see your little family. That really is what life is about! Keep on loving it...
Congrats on 8 years! The aquarium looks like so much fun. Is this the one in Gatlinburg? It better not be. We could have been doing that instead of playing in a wet playground on top of a mountain!!!
Lyda, this one is in Chattanooga. The one in Gatlinburg is okay too but this one is amazing!
