Aquarium visit hosted by Addison

Addison Campa invited us to join her at the aquarium, and we loved it! Brendan mentions it at least 2-3 times a week, even though it has been a month since we went! Hadley had not been since he was three months old; therefore, this was an entirely different experience. He was in awe the entire time. I hope to take the boys back again before long. Maybe we will even buckle down and buy a pass in a few months when our zoo pass expires.

Did you see that, Mom?

Marveling at the seahorse

This is what makes it worth it. You pack the lunches, skip the naps, and deal with screaming children the whole way home in the car just so you can see their faces covered with amazement as they view each of these gorgeous, magnificent creatures.

Hello, penguin. What's your name?

Cool shot.

There is a tunnel you can walk through that has fish swimming overhead.  Hadley was so engaged!  It was a joy to see how much he has grown up since our last visit!

Brendan still talks about the scuba diver he saw at the aquarium. We even made up a song about him... not to be shared.  It was a unique experience for him to see the scuba diver feeding the sea animals and reaching out to "touch" (through the glass) the kids' hands.
