Fish and Purple Bridges
Today was one of those really good days. It did not necessarily start off good. But even with morning problems and one serious meltdown at lunch it was a GREAT day. We wanted to do something fun with the girls and we have Becca here with us for Spring Break. Our time with Becca seems so short that I wanted us to go out and have a day that a 2 year old and an almost 12 year old could enjoy. I took today off and Betty, Sarah (Betty’s 11 year old daughter), Becca, Madison and I headed off to Newport on the Levee. The main attraction is the Newport Aquarium. Madison loves fish. It is one of her favorite words. She always points out the fish in books. We even went out and bought her the movie Finding Nemo. She loved all the fish and was amazed at the huge sharks that swam over her head.
This is my absolute favorite photo of the day. I do not know how Betty managed, but she got a perfect shot of Madisons reflection on the glass of the shark tank. I love the look on her face a she watches them swim in front of her.
We had a great time at the Aquarium. We then had lunch and walked across the Purple People Bridge.
Yep…it really is purple and it is only for people. The bridge is 2,670 feet long, making it the longest pedestrian bridge in the country that links two states. The bridge originally opened on April 1, 1872 and closed to cars and pedestrians in 2001. On April 25, 2003 the bridge reopened...purple and for people only.

What great pictures of everyone. It looks like you all had a blast. Madison is getting so big and she is just too cute!
Just thinking about you all- Madison is precious and just adorable! What a joy! Glad to hear she is responding well to therapy & that everything is working out so wonderful for you in Cincy. Great job schedule! Lauri
Glad to read that Madison is doing so well, and she is adorable! I can't wait to meet the two of you in less than 2 months. I think our Wenzhou beauties are going to have fun together.
