Mystic Aquarium

Yesterday we went to Mystic Aquarium with the Kapers. Here she is all dolled up and ready to go!


We kind of made a day of it, going to S&P Oyster house for lunch first. Kensie was super good while we waited for our table. She praticed cruising around in her new shoes. It is so funny to watch her walk in them... it's like she has cement blocks on her feet!


At the aquarium, Noah did a great job of entertaining Kensie... poking her in the belly and making funny noises that made her laugh!

Kensie isn't quite ready to sit on daddy's shoulders for a long time, but Noah loved it. Below is a picture of us watching the Kodiak sea lion do tricks in his habitat. We learned a lot about sea lions while we were there... on thing was how to tell the difference between a seal and a sea lion. The big difference is sea lions have long flippers that they actually use to crawl around on land and swim really fast!

Kensie was in her stroller for most of the trip, except a brief stop at the lobster tank. Mmm.... lobster. Kensie actually ate lobster for the first time at S&P. I had a lobster quiche, and I gave her a little nibble of the lobster. She ate it with no problem... she basically eats anything we give her, but it was still pretty cool to have her try it! She also had the egg part of my quiche and some bread dipped in olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Yummy!!
