Our friends, the McMillans, invited us to go to the Academy of sciences with them. Ethan and their little boy, Tyler are only 1 week apart, and their next child is I think 3 days apart from Lincoln, so Heidi and I have had a lot of fun with our kids playing together. This was our first visit ever to the Academy of Sciences and I had been wanting to go here for a long time! We jumped at the chance when they invited us to go with them! They had this awesome fish tank that you could walk all across the top with peeking windows. Can you see the stingray swimming by?
The famous Albino Alligator! John says, he remembers with alligator being there when he was little.
Ethan loved watching them clean the massive fish tanks.
There is something about watching the fish in a massive tank that you can kind of get lost in it. I find it very relaxing, which is saying something when you're chasing around this little munchkins.
Can you tell what this is? I didn't even know that there were upside-down jellyfish living in the oceans!
Ethan also loved looking at the turtles. John has been working on convincing me to get one of those massive turtles that will grow to be like 3 feet tall. Although I think they are nice, they just don't seem to offer all that much back to the family.
The penguins were awfully friendly and kept the kids entertained for quite a while.
They also had this huge area of stuffed animals. I guess it beats paying for the care of all of them!
But in the end, the boys preferred the little portals to the underwater.
And by the end, they were ready to have some hands on experiences.
They had this awesome play area for little kids to run some energy out. It included a huge treehouse.
And a giant boat, which Ethan gladly took the helm.
I loved the little bunkhouse.
The porthole was cute too.
We had such a fun time McMillans, Thank you!
