2 days before school starts- some family fun

We were able to head out to the aquarium today.  I supposed to have an appointment with the doctors at Childrens for an assessment of Bug, but the doctor was sick, so the appointment was moved to Wednesday.

So a last minute substitution to our day and one we have not done in almost 2 years. 

Bug was happy to be at the aquarium.  with school having started in most areas around us, we had the aquarium pretty much to ourselves.  There were people there, but nothing like coming on a school holiday, summer weekend or even a summer day before school starts.

Bug up against the measuring chart of the HUGE alligator on exhibit.

It is like 15 feet long

Bug in the sting ray tunnel.  He is never too sure about these tunnels

The sting ray- I really, really like these animals

The tortuga (turtle) Denver.  it was just after feeding time, so all the animals: sharks, sting rays, fishes, and the turtle, were looking for any food they missed.

Denver and one of the sharks

Dancing sting rays- they really did look like they were dancing thru the water. 

When we went to the amusement park, Bug wanted to get his face painted, but the line was so long.  There was no line at the aquarium, so I let Bug get his face painted.

My Bat Boy.  He was so happy.  His stickers on his shirt are from the dentist this morning- he had 2 teeth sealed to prevent cavities.

Over 4 foot tall. I will have to dig up some pictures from previous visits to compare in another post.

And Bat Boy in the new penguin photo area- these are statues.

After the aquarium, we had lunch at the pizza place overlooking the plaza and then we headed to the book store.  I love bookstores.

We bought some books, headed home, rested a short while and then headed over to school for meet the teacher evening.  Bug met his second grade teacher, visited with his kindergarten and first grade teachers and dropped off all his school supplies.  One more day of summer fun and then school starts.

We are off to the zoo tomorrow, our planned finale to summer.  We'll be home mid afternoon for some rest, then dinner, bath and bedtime in preparation for school starting on Wednesday morning.

Time is flying by. 

Love and hugs,
