Aquarium

Upon returning from Disney, big guy and I had about a week and a half before our next adventure began- namely a road trip to New Hampshire.  It took us about five days to get back into our normal rhythm. We were all pretty tired and grouchy.  We made a couple of trips to the pool the second week we were home.  Although it wasn't really warm enough to swim, big guy had definitely been spoiled in Disney by swimming every day!  On wednesday (we were leaving on saturday for NH), we headed over to the New Jersey Aquarium with Grandma C, Pop pop J, and I.  We got there a little early, so we checked out the beautiful view of the Delaware river, bought our tickets, and waited for about fifteen minutes until family arrived.  Shortly after their arrival, we took a family photo which unbelievably everyone was smiling and looking at the camera for!

We went inside and spent the next five hours exploring the fish, sharks, turtles and hippos.  We also touched sharks, stingrays, starfish, and a sea cucumber.  It was an amazing trip and big guy was totally thrilled to see all of these creatures swimming around and having fun!  We ate lunch and of course got some ice cream before returning to see the sharks and the hippos a second time!  Below are some cute pictures from our visit.
