Who sleeps through a dolphin show?
Adin does. On Sunday we drove up to Baltimore to go to the National Aquarium. It kind of sucked at first because we got there around 11:30, but since everyone and their cousin wanted to see the fishys too, the aquarium was on a time entrance thingy. That means that even though we bought our tickets around 11:45, we didn't actually get IN until 1:45. But the Inner Harbor, which is where the aquarium is located, had some pretty cool things to see outside and it actually wasn't that cold outside. Well, it was cold, by not as cold as one would think seeing how we were right on the water. They have a kids museum there, so we will probably go back to check it out.
Anyways, back to the aquarium. Well we finally get in and we learn that there are no strollers allowed in the exibits. But the do give out free backpacks to haul your kiddos around in. Cooll we thought. Then the lady at the stroller check told us that Bear was too big. (BS, there were bigger kids in them, but I wasn't going to argue with her.) So it took a few minutes of having to pick him up off the floor because he didn't want to hold a hand, but he eventually picked up on the concept. They had some pretty good exibits. They even had monkeys there. Which confused me seeing how I thought we were in an aquarium, but whatever. The boys enjoyed looking at all of the fishys, but their favorite was the turtles. Which was good since they seemed to have an overabundance of them there. All was pretty good until we started making our way up. Once we got past the sharks, the crowd got insane. It was wall to wal people and kids. And the thing that pissed me off was that there were so many adults just standing in front of the tanks for what seemed like an eternity. I just wanted to smack them. All they had to do was stand back like two feet so my kids could see the damn fish. But no. So we ended up saying screw it and started to make our way to the dolphin arena. We got there about 25 minutes before the show started, which was good for seats, bad for antsy kids. Finally they started the show, which I was AMAZED at. My kids, not so much. Bear threw a fit through most of it because he didn't want to sit there. He was not impressed at all. And Adin went to sleep about 5 minutes into the show. He just layed his head on my lap and knocked out. But he was very thoughtful and he left the cleanup crew a nice big present. I go to pick him up after it's over and realize that he has had an accident. And not just a little one either. The floor beneth us is soaked. Oh well, accidents happen right?
Ship the boys thought was pretty cool. Only surviving CG warship from the attack on Pearl Harbor
Someone forgot to tell Adin that he is sitting in that all wrong
