We were invited to join a couple of friends of ours to the Aquarium this past weekend, and even though I was hesitant to agree, we all had a great time. I was a little worried that Griffin would decide that he didn't want to be there, or that he would tell us that he wan't going to eat out of his bottle in the midst of the long day.
I really should learn one of these days that Griffin loves to be out, and I mean really really loves it.
He was awake most of the trip and happy to be rolling around in his stroller. After a while he started to get hungry and Dave tried to feed him while walking around a room full of tanks. Griffin was too distracted to eat, even though it had been four hours since his last meal. (He is usually STARVING at three hours) Finally when he decided to eat, he had no problem at all with the bottle. Yay! Afterwards he was in a great mood and was alert to all his surroundings.
It was so much fun to watch him stare at the animals swimming around in the tanks.
At this particular tank, he was overcome with excitement. Not sure what it was that caused this, but it was the cutest thing we had seen all day. (Even cuter than the river otters :))
Watching the penguins swim around.
Finally he was worn out. (Did I mention it was a long trip for him?) He was able to fall asleep on his dad's shoulder through the rest of Aquarium. That too was cuter than the otters.
It's so nice to get out of the house and stretch our legs a bit, especially when in the company of good friends. Maybe one of these days I'll get over my silly anxiety and take him out much more often.
More pictures from this trip here.
Loved all the pics, I thought they were great! FYI down on level A of the "old" side of the aquarium (where the seahorses are) has a nursing room that is great. They have a comfy seat and you can lock the door.
