We drove to Boston on Saturday to spend the day at the amazing aquarium there. The last time we did this was two weeks before Tess was born, as a special outing with Grace before we rocked her world with the addition of a sibling. Of course, she doesn’t remember that trip at all – but we do, and we knew she’d love it this time, too. We were right, and although Tess was alternately scared and overwhelmed much of the time, she also had fun. Tess’s favorites were the penguins (specifically, watching in anticipation as they prepared to jump into the water) and the seals (their barking caused her to squeal in delight). Grace loved the touch tank, but her real favorites were the blind sea turtle and the blind seal. This makes sense for a kid who wants to be an “animal rescuer” when she grows up – and now she’s added animal trainer to the list.

[There was way too much going on at the aquarium for me to take any photos, but I did pull my camera out while we were waiting for the fur seal show to begin. This was very entertaining, because one of the seals waited by the door – and barked – waiting for the trainers to appear.]
