Craig took the week off so we decided to try to do something fun with our kids, well with James anyway. Brianna the teenager wanted nothing to do with it, so Craig and I decided to take the boys to Pretend City, the new children's museum in OC. I guess everyone else had the same idea because it was packed! You had to wait for people to leave just to get in. They said it would be about a 45 minutes wait! Well that wasn't going to happen! So we decided to go to the Aquarium. Craig had never been and I had been once with Brianna about 10 years ago! It was about to be one of those days again, since we drove to the museum and it didn't work out then literally 5 minutes after we got into the Aquarium the fire alarm goes off and everyone has to evacuate the building!!! We were starving and I thought Craig was going to be off with my head. So we figured let's eat lunch and by the time we are done we should be back in. It wasn't until the third restaurant were we able to sit down, it was so crowded! We had an excellent lunch at Outback Steakhouse! Who knew! When we were done we were able to go right in the aquarium, everyone full, happy, and ready to see fish!
James would not have anything to do with touching the sharks or the rays. He didn't even want to put his hand in the water. This is as close as he would get!
Jake loved looking at them swimming around
James loved looking at the sharks, he said they were his favorite.
They both loved the sea lions and sea otters
We were surprised at how much Jake liked it. He would stand against the glass and bounce and pat the window. It was so cute.
After of course James had to see the boats
It ended up being a great day!:)
