The zoo, the local (very expensive) aquarium. The trains. Okay, maybe a 1 1/2 hour road trip to ride a steam train was the longest. We're waiting until our youngest is a little older. I can't wait though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-30255206541685310542009-02-08T01:26:00.000-05:002009-02-08T01:26:00.000-05:00The photo's turned out great.

He will completely ignore all of the fish in the tank and stare in fascination at the bubbles rising out of the filtration system. He reminds me a little bit of that fish in "Finding Nemo."<BR/><BR/>The second is the sting rays. For some reason, Connor is convinced that all of the sting rays are his best friends. He signs to them. He sings to them. He tries to "love butt" them through the glass, often with disastrous results. There's just something about them that makes him happy.<BR/><BR/>My favorite place to go with Connor? The playground is always a safe bet. He loves the swings. We also like going to those restaurants where they grill things at your table. Connor has what is probably an unhealthy preoccupation with fire, so he always enjoys that.<BR/><BR/>~JessJesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06306757421878995110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-79902482453255085262009-02-07T10:08:00.000-05:002009-02-07T10:08:00.000-05:00We love taking random road trips!

Simply love getting out and walking through the woods.

She LOVES it there, so much in fact that for Christmas we received an annual membership there from my parents! <BR/>Aquariums are sooo relaxing and fun and beautiful! And at ours there are monkeys haah Gabi's FAVORITE animal..among Turtles. So other than awuariums in the summer we're beach bums. Those are our favorite pastimes!! :)Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13852285106074608485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-39016919662396678992009-02-06T08:27:00.000-05:002009-02-06T08:27:00.000-05:00Sounds like a lot of fun!We recently spent a morni...Sounds like a lot of fun!<BR/><BR/>We recently spent a morning at our city aquarium. They've just opened an amazing Antarctic penguin exhibition. I could have stayed all day to watch ;-).<BR/><BR/>Locally, fave places are parks (any 'new' playground visits are particularly exciting!), the pool and the library.<BR/><BR/>We've done quite a few rail trips rather than road trips. And for those, the destination isn't really important, it's just that the boys LOVE trains ;-). However, we are off to Sydney at the end of the month, so will report about that.<BR/><BR/>Have fun!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-57748505634634515182009-02-06T06:23:00.000-05:002009-02-06T06:23:00.000-05:00Are you going to Mystic??????????If so, please rep...Are you going to Mystic??????????<BR/>If so, please report on it!

At 16 or so, I maintained my own 125g reef aquarium... I still have a 75g reef system.<BR/><BR/>Fish can be very calming to children; thats why many doctors offices have aquariums.<BR/><BR/>You could drop me at the aquarium and just leave, I could live their... I can also ID most fish on my own. The one in your photo is an angelfish of some sort, but I don't know the family.<BR/><BR/>If I would have continued in school, I would have majored in Marine Biology.Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00796575896463029063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-76500134816443259712009-02-06T01:20:00.000-05:002009-02-06T01:20:00.000-05:00Hmmmm. . . places with the kids?
