First they sit and listen to the story......
(How she gets them all to sit so nicely we will never understand!)
At this playgroup the craft was to make a "Like Me" doll! Unfortunately there was no way to help two little girls make their dolls and take pictures at the same time. 
Uncle Tim knows exactly which toy is Charlotte's favorite!
And he loves watching her play with it!
And Margaret thinks having Uncle Trey wear her (like Mommy wears Charlotte with the sling) it pretty funny!
Like baby Violet (visiting all the way from Colorado).
And cousin Matthew (or Match-choo-choo as he is currently being called)
And as if that wasn't enough, we got to celebrate Uncle Tim's birthday and have cake too!
Margaret was a lot more interested in the sweet apples and not so interested in the pumpkins. 
We took this same shot last year and boy has Margaret grown!
Charlotte was very excited because this time she actually got to go on some rides!!!! 
And Margaret and Sojourner went on ALL the kiddy rides! 
Even Daddy went on some!
A little ice cream break is always nice!
Charlotte finished her ice cream and was ready for more rides.
After refueling, it is time for more rides! This place is great!
Family trip to one of our favorite weekend day trip spots.....the Mystic Aquarium!
Charlotte got the top seat in Daddy's backpack carrier. And Margaret was very excited to get to walk around 'like a big girl'!
Next we had to check on our Octopus friend
And of course say hello to Charlotte the Turtle (No Charlotte the Turtle is not dead. She was rescued after being hit by a boat, and has a condition called "Bubble Butt Syndrome". Really that is what it is called! She is paralysed in the lower portion of her body and therefore can't release the air from her lower body. So she always swims and sleeps in this position.)
The bird exhibit was open so Mommy and Margaret went in to feed some beautiful birds.
A quick stop by the penguins to say hello....
And a wave to the Sea Lions....
