The Aquarium









Today we ventured to our favorite aquarium. It took us about an hour and a half to get there. We got stuck in a bit of traffic and Tatum was not thrilled about that.
The weather was absolutely beautiful! We didn't need our coats and the sun was shining. Colin's favorite animal was the Beluga Whale. He was able to get close up and got all excited when they came near him through the glass.
Tatum seemed more fascinated by the stingrays. She thought it was funny how they attached themselves to the side of the glass. Both kids liked the "touch and feel" pool. They put their hands pretty far into the pool and Colin held a few shells.
For lunch, we ate at the penguin cafe. Den and I had cheeseburgers and the kids had hot dogs and fries. Unfortunately, they didn't have any apple juice and that sent little Tatum into meltdown mode. She cried through the last part of the aquarium called Challenge of the Deep. We did let Colin go through it and we took our annual photo with Daddy. We have taken a photo in the same spot since Colin was 4 months old. Luckily, we found some apple juice while checking out the gift shop. Boy did Tatum's mood change quickly! Both kids fell asleep on the ride home.
