We went to the Aquarium...
...and it was great, so much fun! It was just really really expensive! The original plan on Saturday was to take T to a local farm and do some strawberry picking but it got too hot quickly. My Plan B was a children's museum in Cherry Hill but since Kristin was with us, it ocurred to me we might all enjoy a trip to the aquarium. I think Tomas was a little nervous in the darker hallways but I must say he loved the shark tunnel!
He reached out several times as if he was going to try and touch the fish and sharks that swam by.
I think Kristin loved watching the sharks most of all as well.
TB's camera did a great job taking pictures! Here are some more:
Cool looking crab!
I don't know if this is clear enough to see, but this is a dragon fish--it looks like it could breathe fire and yet is so tiny!
I wasn't able to get up close and look at the octopus because there were a lot of pushy people there who didn't take much notice of a small child in a stroller, drat the inconsiderates. Well, TB's picture is pretty cool.
Here's one of the sharks that went right over our heads in the tunnel. Tomas' eyes were huge! I thought the tunnel might frighten him but I am so glad that he enjoyed it most of all.
Little T did not like the hippos, though. Or...maybe it was all the people trying to get in to snap a picture of it. I was pretty amazed at how gracefully it was swimming.
We stopped halfway through to get some lunch. TB took several cute pictures of Tomas' changing facial expressions. In this one, he seems to be saying, hey, what are you taking my picture for? I'm not a sea creature!
We sure had a great time!
