In honor of Abigail's
favorite song (and because we bought a membership that we've only used once), we went to the Aquarium last weekend.
Abigail had more fun this time; she is starting to pay more attention to things, so she was delighted to see all the jellyfish, starfish, octopus, and sea otters.
Of course, they we all Ca's in her book.

The Aquarium adventure begins by kissing the fish.
Good call, Bits. |
 |
| Pit stop to the gift shop |
 |
| She was not amused by the shark mask. She wanted it off immediately |
 |
| Touching star fish |
The next series of pictures crack me up.
One of the volunteers was explaining the difference between male and female jellyfish. I don't remember it making a huge impression on me, but apparently it did...
 |
| Inquisitive |
 |
| Shocked |
 |
| Satisfied |
Abigail was equally intrigued.
(we spent the majority of our time at the jellyfish tank...)
Then it was on to Octopus!
 |
| Creepy |
 |
| Heading outside to see the sea otters, seals, and native fish |
 |
| She was obsessed with the seals and kept repeating "Ca, Ca, Ca!!", desperately |
 |
| The Sea Otters got a similar reaction |
After the aquarium, we went to ride the carousel (we're too cheap to go on The Great Wheel).
I never knew Abigail was such a fan of carousel's until we went to
Zoo Lights, so I thought it would be fun to bring her again.
She had a ball!
and was equally entranced by all the lights and sounds of the arcade.

First attempt at a family photo booth.
We left room for improvement... |
Abigail walked with me hand-in-hand from the arcade to the Argosy boat; an impressive feat for the munchkin(!), then over to Red Robin for dinner.
We were in the car and heading home by 6pm. Abigail was so whipped that she slept from 6pm-8am.
We'll be doing this again. Soon!
