We had a little time to kill before the wedding so Janie and Peanut went for a walk down the street to pick up boba for Auntie Jia.  Just outside of the store, Janie practiced her jumping and went from circle to circle.

Peanut woke up and got to see some jellyfish and tropical fish.  He also met GAunt Jeanie for the first time.

Speaking of big sister, Janie was having a blast with her new friend Amelia.

They ran up and down the ramp and stairs, held hands, and shared snacks together.  When they were doing laps on the ramp and stairs, one would say, “again?!” and the other would say, “yes yes yes!!”
