shark!

yesterday we had a double-day of fun in baltimore. we did the same thing last year, but you would know it because i never posted last year's pics to the blog. (sadly "post aquarium / monster jam photos to blog" has been on my actual to-do list for a year. i'm going to leave it there. maybe someday i'll get around to it.) -

we started off at the national aquarium. it was sea creature week at school last week and the kids wouldn't shut up about seeing the sharks and the dolphin show, so it worked out well. these fish pics were all taken by Q. sadly, his came out better than any of mine.

the beauty of aquarium membership = free dolphin show. we were excited because last time we went to the aquarium, the dolphin show was on hiatus because they had babies.

hanging out

it's hard to tell with the picture being so small, but i managed to catch two up them jumping at the same time.

more of Q's fish

quentin was infatuated with the three-legged sea turtle they have in the main tank. at first he was terrified of the rays (but not the sharks) but by the end we couldn't tear him away.
