Aquarium

Janelle and I decided to take the kids to the aquarium the other day. We both wanted to get out of our houses and we knew the munchkins would obviously have fun. Not to mention the fact that I get to see my BFF (that was just for you Janelle) and we can have an adult conversation...or at least try to. It's difficult when the kids are saying mom every two seconds. Jaxson ran around to each exhibit as fast as he could while Gavin and Ella wanted to sit and look at each of them for a minute. Jaxson was a little hesitant when we came to the one that you could put your hand in the water and touch the stingrays, he kept saying that he didn't want them to sting them, so he looked at me and said "Mom, you put your hand in der first and if you don't get stinged, den I will put my hand in der." I put my hand in the water and touched the stingray, then I told Jax it was his turn and he said "Maybe later Mom." Apparently he changed his mind. After we saw all the fish we had lunch and then Jaxson thought we should go back and look at all of the fish again. I told him we would have to come back another day because Ella and Gavin needed naps and it was time to go home. This did not make him happy at all and he threw a bit of a fit that resulted in me dragging him out of the aquarium to the car, luckily the tantrum only lasted about 30 minutes...it was such a pleasant drive home. NOT! However once he calmed down he said he was glad we got to see the fish and that he couldn't wait to go back.
