Valerie's Birthday Eve!

Our baby girl turned one! We wanted to do something special for her birthday, and Chad got off early the day before so we went down to the Newport Aquarium! Valerie loved it because she was able to stroll around and eat snacks while occasionally catching a glimpse of a bright fish swimming by her.

The penguins were so neat to watch. For both of us!

A HUGE crab! Look to Val for a size comparison!

Daddy <3.

 She enjoyed the bright colored lights and when the fish swam over her head in the tunnel!

 Watching birdies hop around! I was so worried one was going to land on her!

After the Aquarium we had dinner and gave Valerie her first fro-yo experience. She was thrilled!!! (So much so that she didn't take her eyes off of it from the moment it was placed on the table!)

Here is our gorgeous girl

So big!!!
