As I told you the other day, I went with Samm, Jay, and Clover to the New England Aquarium last Friday.
Even though the crowds were horrendous (it was a holiday for most businesses, after all) it was a good time and Clover really seemed to enjoy it.
~~There were some really cool Jelly Fish:
~~and turtles:
(There were even other little people with backpacks like Clover's.)
~~We could get real close to lots of fish swimming in the big round tank in the middle of the building. It's 3 stories high with lots of windows to watch the fish swim by.
Clover really enjoyed the penguins:
I think they may have been her favorite part of the trip.
We were able to watch as the fish were fed:
This is at the top of the center tank. See the guy in the red & white flowered shorts - he's feeding the fish. There are sharks in that tank - I think he's very brave!
It was great fun to watch Clover's reaction to all the different sea life. I'm so glad that Samm and Jay asked me to be a part of her first trip to the aquarium!
What a great trip! I'm sure that Clover was fun to watch as she saw the fish, penguins and other sealife up close and personal. How neat!

How fun is that! She looks really interested in all that is around her...and that shot of her sleeping on the way home...perfect!

What a fabulous time you all had together! I love watching the expressions on the little ones faces, just so full of wonder, taking it all in. and yes, it DOES call for a nap when it's all said and done :^) xox

It's so much fun going to the aquarium. I'm glad Clover loved it (and you all too). The penguins are always my favorite too.

Aww, how cute. My younger daughter looked very similar after we went to Mystic Aquarium in May but her suffed penguin is grey and she's 10. Ha. It's nice that some things don't change.

It is great to see the Aquarium is still open. I went there too many years ago when my kids were little. Then there was talk that it was closing. Looks like a fun time. Enjoy.
