The Aquarium and Botanical Gardens

If you've been around Titus recently you'd know that Finding Nemo is his FAVORITE movie, or "show" as he would call it. He loves fish and asks to feed the fish we have in our pond probably 5 times a day. (We won't disclose how many times he asks to watch Nemo on an average day.) With this extreme interest in "fishies", we decided a trip to the aquarium was in order.

We saw lots of fish,


and stingrays,


and shiny fish,


and lumpy fish,


and scary fish,


(maybe a little too scary)


But all in all, we liked the aquarium.


(Elsa liked the "fishies" too!)


We had lots of fun watching the "fishies" swim by and even learned a new word or two listening to the other kids talk. We saw "sharks" and "turtles" and quickly learned how to say their names too.


After the aquarium, we walked through the botanical gardens and saw lots of pretty plants, trees and flowers.



There was so much to see. There is even a "historic" farm to walk around. Titus found one chicken prowling around and chased her for a while. The chicken was not amused.








They had a couple of "bug" exhibits and Titus and I went down to explore. Mommy told Elsa what the boys were up to and she was not happy. Was she scared of the giant hissing cockroaches or upset that Daddy didn't take her down to pet the scorpions and tarantulas? I guess we'll have to wait a few more months for her to tell us.




Such a fun day!!
