Diego and the Aquarium

Today we took it easy and went for a visit to the aquarium. I think we'll probably have a pretty low-key first week, as we want to do a lot of the really neat stuff next week once my mom gets here. She'll be out here with us for two weeks. Jon was pleasantly surprised to find out that our admission was half-off because we have a family membership to the zoo in Cleveland, so all three of us got in for $9 total.

The park outside of the aquarium has a large banyan tree, so Evan took a stab at swinging on the vines ala, "Go, Diego, Go!" He did a pretty good job, I was surprised at how well he was able to hold on and naturally figured out to wrap his legs around the vines for a better grip. The aquarium was awesome, it is really a great aquarium for small kids, and we spent over two hours there, which is a feat in itself for Evan. We had fun comparing some of the exhibits to the ones Curious George finds in the book where he visits the aquarium. Plus, Evan loved the touch pool, where he got to hold a hermit crab who tickled his palm.

Evan's done pretty well with adjusting to the time difference, Jon and I both have the sniffles. Other than that, we're all doing pretty well...I hear there's lots of snow in Cleveland.
