A Day with the Tolle's!

Our good friends the Tolle's (Mr. Tolle and the Man work together) had some company coming in town today including three adorable little girls. So they called the boys to join them today and play. How nice was that!
First we headed to the aquarium. Here's the boys getting to touch some starfish.
We all really loved the turtles big and small.
It was Shark Week, so they had this guy making shark tooth necklaces and we stood in line for like 20 minutes when we realized you had to have received a number when you came in the door in order to get one. We received no number, so no cool necklace for the boys. I did however buy some fish bait and let the kiddos feed the sting rays. It was hard to get a pick of this, but the kids loved it.
Here's Buddy with a goofy grin.
Little Guy and two of the girls at the baby shark tank. All the kids love touching the fish, I must say it was pretty cool.
Here's all the kiddos in front of a big salt water tank.
We had a really good time and the kids really got along well and were so well-behaved. I was really happy they called us to join them. So much so, I suggested if they were staying in town for the night we should go to the lake. Its conveniently located near the Tolle's, so it would be perfect. They thought it was a great idea as well, so I called the Man and picked him up early and we headed to the lake. woo-hoo!
Buddy had a blast having kids to play with. The oldest two girls were only 16 months apart, 5 and 6. So Buddy really took to them. After about an hour in the water and playing in the sand, we headed up to the playground for a cornhole tourney and grilling. Here they are on the slide. They entertained themselves so well, it was awesome.

I just realized that the kids are in the exact same order as the previous aquarium pic. What are the odds! Anyhow, We had a really good visit and it was nice to meet the Henry's. Look forward to spending more time with them and heading back to the lake soon. I think its our new go-to spot.
FUN TIMES!
