I spotted another (small) water feature, and we were happily surprised the girls seemed to have just as much fun in it as they would have in the big one.<\/p>\n

Back at the planetarium, the girls had an exciting adventure on Mars and well as the moon<\/em>. Fortunately I was there to capture photos.<\/p>\n

The next day we went to the park, made foam sticker princess story pictures (Emily is quite the little artist)<\/em>, played dress up and Barbies, made cookies, watched several movies\/tv shows… It was a very fun 24 hours but exhausting. Fortunately, Brandon and Jennifer picked up all the girls for a sleepover at their house the next night. I really enjoyed sleeping in on Saturday \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n
