AJ and Mommy go to Mystic Aquarium

AJ had his 3 yr physical today and I decided to keep him home from school and take him to the aquarium with our friends Ivania and Isaiah. We had lunch at Mickey D's and all the boys could talk about was all the animals they wanted to see - at that time, penguins frogs and alligators were the "biggies" they wanted to see.

The boys had such a good time. They had a blast throughout the aquarium and liked the sea lion show and touching sea stars and trying to touch sting rays and seeing all the other animals.

take a CLEAR pic one-handed,

cold water at the same time) :o)


The whales were definitely a favorite with the boys and we stopped by the Whale tank three times throughout the day. Every time the whales swam by both boys would get so excited. This is one of my favorite pictures and they boys loved it when the whale did this! AJ said the whale was talking to him!





Frogs were a favorite of AJ oh and so were the tarantulas but MOMMA was NOT impressed by those and I was glad they were behind glass. I ended up buying AJ a book about belugas that we read before bedtime and a Beluga stuffed whale that he hugged to sleep - he kept talking about how the whales were his favorite today.
