Aquarium

Tuesday brought with it heat, humidity, and lots of sun. Thus Grandma Dino, big guy, and I went to the Aquarium! Big guy slept the whole car ride, so he was awake for the whole three hours we visited. We actually beat Grandma Dino there and bought the tickets in advance. It was so hot out that we went to go sit by the Delaware. We could see how dirty it was, with a few ducks, but the view of Philly was very nice. Finally, Grandma Dino arrived and grabbed the big guy. I think I got a "hi." hehe. Anyway, we go in and hit the bathroom first. After that we decide to wander through the whole place. Grandma Dino held big guy for the first two exhibits, which is impressive- he's heavy!

Big guy loved this purple fish that kept swimming by him and then staring at him. It was so cute, big guy put his hand on the glass to try to touch him. Too precious. We visited the penguins and seals, but big guy wasn't feeling them. It was really sunny.

We went back in and Grandma Dino touched a sea cucumber- ew! Big guy loved the waterfall. We then visited the clownfish and big guy was enraptured. He actually started climbing on the tank. Hands and feet on the glass. And our biggest love was the jellyfish. They have them in this giant dark blue tank with bright lights shing from above. It looks magical. We stared for a long time. We ended the tour by going through the shark tunnel. In a very cool move, big guy was following the sharks as they swam above us.

We finished the day with lunch and a quick look for a rainstick in the gift shop. Both were unfulfilling. We got in the car and big guy passed out. It was a great day!
