Friday night is Family Night at the Aquarium! We joined the Carlson’s for dinner and got our money’s worth on the kids eat for $1.99 deal. Annabelle and Jack were a bit anxious to go look at the fish, but Gwyneth and Ben devoured their meals!  Baby Ben gets so excited over his food – he even started dancing when they gave him a slice of bread. Poor B learned the hard way not to give up Gwyenth’s food too quickly. When B told the server she could take Gwyneth’s plate she was not pleased and started grabbing for everyone else’s. I guess Miss GG wasn’t done. Lesson learned! Don’t mess with the girls food!

After dinner we cruised through the aquarium. This was the first time we’ve had all 4 of them walking! It was great – they had so much energy and really enjoyed exploring. Annabelle and Jack are usually in the lead with Gwyneth at their heals and Ben following closely behind. Gwyneth is thrilled to have someone running with her trying to keep up with the big kids.

Gwyneth doing her “I LOVE the fish” dance. Yes, us Meyer’s have a dance for everything.

Loving the aquarium – I’m so glad we have a pass.

So much fun!This cracks me up – Miss GG just needed a little extra boost to get up on the bench. She wanted to keep up with the big kids, but every time she’d climb up they’d hop right down. That’s a lot of work for a little girl. Jack finally gave her a break and sat on the bench with her…not for long though….none of them could stay still for long….

Even Baby Ben ran around. This was a very popular spot at the aquarium and I think the kids could have stayed there all night.

Jack brought out a very brave side in my girls because they were eager to pet the stingrays for the first time ever. Now, they didn’t actually touch it, but they did stick their hands in the water as it swam by which is a big step from seeing it, screaming, and run in the opposite direction. Baby steps….
