Today since Austin was off we thought it would be nice to get out as a family. Our plans changed originally he was supossed to go play golf. But when we looked at the weather last night it was 60% chance of rain so he cancelled. This morning it was gorgeous so we decided to go to the aquarium. Colby has only been there a few other times but it had been since the summer. We hoped it wouldn't be crowded so we could enjoy it more!
Sure enough it wasn't crowded at all plus we decided to do it backwards therefore most of the exhibits we had to ourselves which was great. This was the first time Colby was able to walk through the whole aquarium. The other times he was too little and it was too crowded for him to do this! He sure enjoyed it a lot more since he could walk. He also was more aware of the fish and sharks. He would talk to them and point them out. I think reading "Finding Nemo" and visiting the Nemo exhibit in Disney World helped with this also! He didn't have to get in the stroller once...and he was so good he was happy and paid attention throughout.
We took him in the gift shop in the end and ofcourse he wanted one of everything. I got him a shark t-shirt since he is so into them now and also some play sharks and scuba diver. He doesn't have a lot of animal toys so I figured this would be good for pretend and bath play.
After the aquarium we walked down to the French Quarter for lunch. It was nice just strolling through the quarter...it was really Colby's first time down there! His eyes were huge looking at all the sights! We ate lunch and Colby did really good. We ate at this place that specializes in breakfast/brunch type foods it was yummy! Again on the way back to the car we just enjoyed taking in the sights and sounds of the Quarter!
When we got home we all took naps then played in the backyard and road bikes. Colby loves his bike trailer! I love these days we get to spend time together and make memories!
