Gotcha Day Pictures

The boys had fun using chopsticks.

After seeing fire, for the rest of the

night Noah wanted to make the fire happen.

Amazingly, they loved the soup.

Samuel figured it out after we told him to drink it.

Samuel got a turtle visor and Noah got a fish visor.
Of course they were Crush and Nemo from Finding Nemo.


The boys were afraid at first, but LOVED the fountains.

Noah loved putting his head in the water.

Samuel was SO excited to be on the train.

Chillin' in the van.

For Gotcha Day, we took just Noah and Samuel out. Wow, two kids are easier than one! Tristan spent the day with some great friends and we are so thankful for their help.

We started our day at the zoo. We ate lunch there and then wandered around. The boys were interested in the animals, but were crazy excited about the train and water fountains.

After the zoo, we needed to burn some time before heading to dinner, so we went to the mall play area. Chuck and I enjoyed some Starbucks while the boys burned some energy.

For dinner, we took the boys to a Japanese steakhouse. We thought they would enjoy it and we were right. They were in awe and loved the food. They especially loved when food was tossed at them to catch in their mouths (and by the way, I was the only one at our table who succeeded in catching it!). And unfortunately, Chuck now tosses their vitamins like that. Such boys. All of them!

I can't believe Noah and Samuel have been home for over a year now. I have a lot of thoughts to share about Gotcha Day, but that will be another day.
