We got a special deal today so our nurse and I took the boys to the Aquarium for the morning. Brendan is finishing up breakfast. I hoped he would wear his glasses to see the fish. (NOT A CHANCE)

The outing was a hit. Brendan loves fish.

Petting starfish and urchins

Brendan says stingrays go “flap flap flap”

The octopus is usually hiding whenever I am there. He was very interactive and cool today.

Peeking boys

I was very glad that Brendan was not overwhelmed.

We want to wish Granddaddy, aka trainsdad, a very happy 71st birthday. We were too busy and tired for a blog yesterday when it was his actual birthday. Big love and hugs your way, hope your birthday was a good one! Funniest part is, it was 71 degrees here yesterday, with gray skies. 🙂

We went playground scouting and found another really good spot to go. It has lots of age appropriate equipment and lots of shade. We spent a few hours there this afternoon.

Contemplating the super fast tunnel slide

Wheee!

The boys got super dizzy on this merry-go-round thing

Trevor had to give it a tune up

Time to go home

When I put this plate in front of Trevor, he said, “Oh. My plate is an ocean!”

Brendan loves his brown gravy.

Bill has a pretty yucky cold, one of the perks of having to go to his office more. We are all hoping the rest of us avoid it. The weather is too nice right now to be stuck inside being sick.

I had to do a post tonight in order to wish Aunt Erin a very happy 30th birthday! We all hope she is able to do something really fun to celebrate!

We spent the morning at the Science Center again.

I dressed the boys in their cute little shorts and their blue and red polos. Never did I expect that right behind us in the entry, the museum would be flooded with several buses full of kids wearing blue and red polo school uniforms. We had to bail on their favorite water area and head for the 3rd floor to escape the madness.

Trevor built with carbon atoms

He controlled an army of little robots

Brendan manipulated virtual sand

Trevor got to try rock candy for the first time. He says, “Sugar rocks!!”

Brendan did not want his own, but Trevor was happy to share.

Trevor did not want to leave and I told him we could come back another day. Later in the evening, he says, “It is tomorrow now.” I said, “It is?” He says, “Now it is tomorrow, we can go back to the Weeseum”. He can’t say museum right, but he sure does love them. Brendan too!
