The Aquarium

Christopher doesn't work on Wednesdays so we decided to make it 'Family Outing Day'. Our first excursion as a family was to the aquarium that is just down the street from our house. We packed snacks, the stroller, and a pad of coloring paper & crayons. It is always fun taking Madeleine to the aquarium. She loves sea creatures and even more, she LOVES water. We gave her the pad of paper & crayons and let her create pictures of all the fish. She is such an artist! Very vivid colorful interpretations. This was Liam's first time and boy was he excited! He just kept saying 'WOW, WOW' over and over again. He kept smacking his lips together which meant he either wanted to eat the fish or drink the tank water. Either way, it was pretty funny. We spent a lot of time with the jellyfish and the stingrays, and strolled through the rest.  Surprisingly the place was fairly quiet which it never is, so we pretty much had the run of the place. It turned out to be a wonderful day spent together! These pictures aren't very good quality, I guess I need to find a better app for my iphone...
