Aquarium

On the second Friday of gmom Dino's visit, we decided to go to the aquarium! Since we are members, it's just so easy to go! It was really cold and windy that day, so an indoor activity was just the solution. Also, who doesn't love fish and sea creatures? Since it was so unpleasant out, we actually were able to go in a side entrance and them skipped the lame-o non-members in line and make it into the warmth! We had a really great time! We did the hippos and sharks first. Though I will say that the jellyfish were a definite hit for everyone. Following that exhibit, we did the kids area, which is super cool as we hadn't done that the last time. Lots of fun interactive stuff for big guy to run around and touch. And little man was able to slap the walls of the tanks and that was really cool! Following a delicious lunch of yogurt, apples and of course a giant soft pretzel, I fed little man in the nursing room and big guy and Dino went to touch sting rays and sharks. It was only as I was sitting nursing little man that I though of how wet he was going to get! And he really was soaked. Short, pants, even his socks! But he was having such a great time with Dino, so how could I complain?!?!

Anywho, we did the cool alligator and fish from around the world type exhibit before calling it a day. And of course hit up the gift ship, which was entirely too long and big guy was really indecisive! But he eventually got a really big blue stuffed animal snake. And then everyone fell asleep on the way home. Just what I always hope for :)
