Downtown Aquarium 2013

We went on our annual preschool field trip to the Downtown Aquarium on MLK day.  As you can see from looking at his eyes, Adam was still getting over the flu. 
 


They have this awesome up and down ride.  I stood in the long line to ride it with Adam and Nate.  As we were ready to load, there were 3 spaces left and Ellie decided she wanted to ride.  I let her take my place and loaded Nate on and Adam-two to the left on.  Then Ellie started crying that she wanted off.  By that point, there was another girl who was expecting to ride so she took Ellie's spot, and the ride started.  As it started, Nate realized I was not on it with him and he got really upset.  Look at his face as they started to go up:
It's a pretty high tower and the ride is pretty long, letting you bounce several times, and then bringing you back up to do it again 2 or three times.
By the end, he would give me a smile, but only just barely.  At the very end we went again and everyone, including Ellie and Michael went.  Part way through that ride Nate kicked his shoes off so they shortened the ride.
We also rode the train. They have a spot where a very fake looking shark bursts out of the water at the train.  Nate didn't like that part.
Joe came and met us during his lunch hour.  He wasn't as impressed as we hoped he would be.
Michael likes to make crazy faces.
