On Monday, our new au pair, Ashley, and I took the kids to the aquarium. Charlotte was not impressed and slept most of the time, but Jack really enjoyed it. We looked at fish, whales, dolphins, otters, and penguins; plus we watched a show (see the dolphin jumping above).
I didn't take a picture of Charlotte at the aquarium, so here's a picture of her so she doesn't feel left out of this blog entry. She and Dad were watching TV together the other night.
Jack looking at fish
These are some pictures from the show. Jack got a kick out of the big sea lion.
They also had some holiday additions--a snowman, and Santa flew through the air on a boat into the water.
Despite all the cool animals jumping around doing tricks, this is what Jack found most fascinating about the show--the animated curtains on the screen. He's recently started helping us open and close the hanging blinds over the sliding glass door where we let Louie outside, and he thought these curtains were similar to the blinds. All he kept saying throughout the show was "blinds closed!" and "blinds open!"

Jack loved the penguins. This one little penguin was so cute--he swam up to Jack as soon as we got there and stayed right in front of him the whole time.
