Play Date at the Aquarium

Today we had a play date with Halie and Alaina and all the kids. We decided to go to the aquarium. Getting there was an adventure because I thought it was in crown center, which it is not. It is across the street. So I parked in the crown center garage. Which wasn't a big deal, we just needed to go downstairs and across the street. Well I didn't realize escalators were going to be a gigantic problem for my girls. They were basically terrified and I couldn't carry them both while making sure I stepped off and on correctly. So it was kind of an ordeal to get everyone down the stairs. We definitely took the elevator on the way back.

Joshua really loved the aquarium. He was really interested in all the facts. He especially loved the touch tank.

Hannah was less enthused and was only willing to touch the water.

This was the best tank. There were actual sharks and sting rays. We listened to a brief talk here about all the fish in the tank. 

The favorite part was the last room which is a play area including a climbing structure with a slide and a sand box. Joshua was really pumped about exposing the "fossils" and Hannah just liked playing in the sand. We had a really fun time. We'll have to do it again sometime.
