Our First Outing

So Saturday we went out on our first family outing. We decided to go to the Aquarium. While we were driving there we were saying that this was the first time the kids had been downtown, however Ben said that he had gone downtown for his class field trip to see James and the Giant Peach.

The aquarium was pretty. Emmett was excited at first and then had more fun pushing the stroller into people. The rest of the boys loved it.

The boys loved the part of the aquarium where they could touch the creatures. Emmett got very wet and when we realized they were having more fun playing in the water than looking at the creatures we moved on.

Ben wasn't scared about touching any of the sea life. I think he would touch a shark if he could.

This part was kind of cool. This is where you can see the sharks. Connor loved it. Ben, the authority on sea life, was convinced that they had great whites in there. Oh, Ben. I guess if you're gonna dream you should dream big.

I hate eels. They are yucky and ugly and gross. This one reminded me of Ursela the sea witch from The Little Mirmaid. I know, she was an octopus, but her thugs were eels. Yuck. We sure had a good view of him though.

Emmett wants to be like Daddy. Every time Heath bent down to look with the kids, Emmett would do it too.

I just thought this was cute.

It was a great day. Great to get out of the house and do something fun.
