Newport Aquarium

Thanks to the wonderful Uncle Jason and Aunt Tiffany who gave us tickets to the Newport Aqarium!  So we packed up the kids today after nap time and off we went.  The kids had a blast, and walked themselves out.  We also got to see the scuba santa show, which was Carter's favorite part.  Here are the pictures:


Baby Doc was wonderfully well behaved.  He chilled in the backpack carrier the entire time.  I was worried he would have fits because he loves to be down and exploring right now.


Kids at the frog bog

Carter was acting pretty funny today.  Everything was scary to him, he didn't want to look at any of the fish, crabs, or snakes.  They were all too scary.  But he loved the jellyfish, and of course the penguins.


Ava loved the Steelers frog best, of course.


She adored the tunnels.  She was twirling around and around gazing at everything.  What a funny girl!


Ava, after looking at the jellyfish in this tank said "are there people in there?"  We had to explain that the people were actually on the other side of the glass.


We also got to catch the penguin feeding.


This boy laughed and giggled and loved the penguins.


Here is Mike and the kids in front of the Cincy skyline.  The big building in the background was just built by his current workplace.



As if this wasn't enough excitement for one day, we took the kids downtown for pizza and to see the square.  There was a Santa convention handing out candy canes.  Carter with his big baby blues managed to convince one lady to give him about ten candy canes while Mike and I weren't looking!


The Macy's tree and city skyline.


I love christmas time!  We have so much more to do before the big day comes, we still want to visit the zoolights, and maybe see the train exhibit.  I love spending time with my four favorite people in the world!
