The Aquarium

Thanks to Ben's Dad, we got to go to Legislative night at the Aquarium! We had so much fun being there with the family.

I was grateful for their help in keeping track of the kids since Ben was at a work thing that night. Our favorite thing was touching the Sting Rays! Garett just liked playing in the water, but Grace REALLY wanted to touch them. The problem was the Sting Rays kept swimming away from her. She ran around the exhibit like five times trying to get to the right spot. Finally, I grabbed and pushed her arm into one of the deepest spots and she got one! She came out dripping wet, but she touched it and was so proud!

We also got to touch some other sea creatures, which was fun!
The most exciting thing was when Grandpa showed up. He had a long day at the capitol and Grace made him feel very welcome!
Grace also discovered some puzzles they had there. She is sooo into puzzles lately! She is so smart and can figure them out by herself. It's a really great quiet time activity!

They had some photographers there taking pictures, so I got one of me and Garett in front of the sharks, except you can't see the sharks.

We were excited to see the new South America exhibit. This wasn't open last year when we went and we thought it was really cool!
