We headed over to Dubuque today and went to the aquarium. My Mom had won free passes from a radio contest and we used those. At the gift shop I picked up a stuffed alligator and some bath toys for Gabriel. We went around and looked at the fish, snakes, alligator, and catfish exihibit. Gabriel did not want to be in the stroller or held and so he spent the time there either running off or crying. We got to see the alligator (who I named Skippy McGatorPants years ago) again and so I was happy. We only stayed for about an hour or so.

We then headed to a few stores. We went to a gift shop where Rob and I picked up three more Pluffies for Gabriel for Xmas. A mouse, a triceritops, and a dolphin. We grabbed some drinks at a Starbucks drive through and I got a new game for my DS at a video game store (it's one that helps build your vocabulary). I like the educational games the most. We stopped at Target and got two cute stuffies that play music for Gabriel for Xmas as well (one will be from us and one will be from my Mom).

We went to dinner at House of China. I love their appetizers. They have some of the best Chinese food ever. Gabriel was a bit fussy during dinner, but that's because he didn't want to be strapped into his highchair.

After dinner we headed back to my Mom's place and we're in for the night.
