trip to the aquarium

We took Allie to the Mystic Aquarium today as something to do to get out of the house.  Its designed in such a way that a lot of the tanks are right at eye level for the little people.  Allie walked into the place, took a look around, and said, "WOW!".  And then took off at a run! 


Here, she's investiating the crabs and sea anenomes.  Right at eye level!

It was all so exciting that she just had to sit down and take it all in.  She did learn to say "shish" today!  yeah, we're working on the F's.

Daddy carrying the munchkin as we headed outside to see the penguins, sea lions and beluga whales.  The setup was pretty cool in that the whales are right at eye level for all of us.  The sea lions you could see from inside or outside - they were at eye level inside and outside, we looked down on them.  They also had a crawl-through lobster trap that Allie played in for a while - with lobsters crawling right overhead!

A really ugly fish.  Ew.  It was difficult to get good pics of the fish, but we did get some video.  If I ever figure it out, I'll try and post some of the video too.

Allie on the car ride home.  Soon after, mommy looked like that too.  Heh.
