This year, while everyone was at church, we celebrated Easter by heading to the aquarium for a few hours of exploration. This time, we caught pretty much everything we missed the last trip, including the 4-D movie, and went back to check out some of our favorite areas. I think the highlight for the boys this time was getting to touch the sturgeons. They stayed there for a loooooong time, and kept begging to touch them just once more. Liam was a little too enthusiastic, and dipped his whole arm up to the shoulder in the tank -- too bad he forgot to pull up his sleeve first! I have a feeling that if we lived closer, we would be at the aquarium every weekend at the very least. But since we've got other stuff to do, it's probably for the best that we're a couple of hours away.
After a morning with the fishes, we headed out to the burbs for to hunt eggs, visit, and have a holiday meal with Barb and Kevin. The boys wore themselves out running around, climbing trees, talking with cousins, and playing their new recorders. And then the trip came to an end pretty much the same way all our trips do, with one too many fights and/or a meltdown. But at least we got a great picture of the boys and Lucy and Richie with their grandparents first!
