It was a rainy cold Wednesday but we had our tickets and we were ready to go. The Aquarium is running a special called Mommy and Me. One adult pass up to four free kids passes and your parking included. We met two of our friends there and had a great time. We printed off our ticket before we left and you can see Katherine holding it tightly as we waited in line. Sean stayed home with Nana so it was just a special outing with the two older ones.

Right as you enter they have an observing tank that is as big as a movie screen. It overwhelmed the kids.

We ventured on to the walkway where I heard "Woah" and "look mom" about a hundred times. They each picked up a chart before we entered and were very dedicated to finding everything on it.



This is my favorite picture. They both loved playing the I spy game. They would search for each fish so diligently.

Katherine took this picture

Evan took this one.

After Lunch we headed over to an area where they could touch the starfish. Katherine was a little shy at first but then they both had their hands in the tank.


My babies aren't so little anymore.


Katherine found a computer that would help her learn about the fish and coral she was observing in the tank. She spent quite a lot of time trying to read and sound out the different names of all the fish.


Thank you Daddy for working so hard so we can go on all these great field trips!!
