Playdate at the Acquarium

Today, we loaded up the boys and headed to the aquarium for some ooohs and aaahs! N. is old enough to enjoy looking at the animals, but we think he liked looking at all of the other people even more! J. and O. are both noticing contrast and beginning to see further distances each day (J. is three weeks older than O.). So, they seemed to like the black and white sting-ray looking thing and the trees the best! O. spent 90% of the trip awake taking in the surroundings. Now, he is napping--it was a big day for the little man. The following pictures are some of the highlights of the day! Thanks for playing photographer, Mom E., so that I can have some pictures of me and O.!!

O taking in the trees and sounds! This was the look on his precious face most of the day!
We stayed clear of this guy; he looked like he was ready for lunch!

Mom J. and I thought that the little ones would like to look at these guys since they are black and white. We think that both of them caught on as they seemed to track the fish as they swam by. In any event, we enjoyed watching them!



Mom E. and N. in front of the indoor waterfall!

I love the bright colors of the flamingo!


N. took this all in for a while! I like this picture of him with the turtles in the background!

Mom E., Mom J. and I met a lady here that was 9 months pregnant with her 5th kid! She had all of the kids with her by herself today! I asked what she would do if she went into labor and she said she would call 911 and ask them to bring a second driver to take her kids in their car--what a brave (read crazy! gal). We chatted with her a bit and all left thinking we were so overwhelmed with three moms and three babies--how on earth does she do THAT?!?!? She was really nice and we wish she lived near us as we could learn a lot from her!!!

We stood and watched the big cat pace around his cage for a bit! Doesn't he look scary in this one? N. took it all in like a man!!


What a fun day! I hope the boys enjoyed it as much as the moms!!!
