Aquarium...

We made a trip to the New England Aquarium this past Saturday, which was a lot of fun, especially for Audrey. Last time Audrey went was when my family came out to visit for her Christening last March, so it has been awhile. It was pretty packed as it was Saturday and rainy out so I guess everyone had the same idea we had.

Audrey was pretty into the displays, but definitely enjoyed the ones that were closer to the ground that she could actually see and the ones where with stuff that was moving. The best part of the aquarium is a 3 story tank that goes the core of the building that has all sort of cool things in it, sharks, turtles, fish, etc. and it really fun to watch. The jelly fish exhibit is pretty cool too. But I'll be honest, I've been to a lot of aquariums, and this one is not at the top of my list. (In case you were wondering the Monterey Bay Aquarium is my favorite of all times) There is not a lot of hands on stuff for the kids and it is very dated in looks and displays. They are doing some construction though so hopefully there will be some new fun exhibits next time we go... That being said, we did buy a yearly pass, so we can go as much as we like, and bring up to 4 guest for free... Now we just need people to come visit us..


We got way better pictures of the animals at the aquarium then we did of Audrey. She is proving to be next to impossible to photograph anymore. She looks at you for 2 seconds then turns, like "HA, you can't get me, even with your fast camera!" Charlie had a lot of fun playing with the camera and taking pictures of all the sea life, the jellies were my personal favorite.

Here are a few of Audrey...

She loved these Jelly Fish lights for some reason...
