Rainforest Cafe

Mama and Daddy decided to take Chloe and Katie out to a nice dinner at the Rainforest Cafe. At first, Baby Girl was scared of all the thunder and lightening in the restaurant. She also thought the animal noises were a bit too much. But after a little while Chloe warmed up to the idea of the novelty restaurant.

Minnie and Mickey Mouse

Aunt Phuong surprised the cousins by getting them each a stuffed Minnie and Mickey Mouse. Who would have known that the kids would have been so quickly attached to their new stuffed animals.

First Day at St. Catherine's Montessori

Chloe had her first day of school at St. Catherine's Montessori today. As usual, Daddy had to travel out of town this week so Mama helped Baby Girl on her big transition day with a little help from Cousin Katie. The first thing Chloe did at her new classroom was explore around for a bit. After getting a little comfortable with her new surroundings, Mama and Katie had to say goodbye and wish Baby Girl well on her first day of school.

Exploring

Daddy took Chloe and Katie to the Children's Museum today. The girls had a fun time exploring new parts of the museum with Daddy. After a fun day at the museum, the family went to mass in memory of Grandpa Phan and had dinner with the Phans and Nguyens.

NASA Space Center

Mama, Grandma Le and Uncle Ca decided to take the older cousins to the NASA Space Center today since Cousin Aidan has been a trooper playing with the little ones. The older cousins had a blast checking out the Space Center without the toddlers running around. Once the day was over, the cousins reunited with some cookies and hugs.
