Quick Trip to the Aquarium

Saturday of Father's Day weekend we were on the road at 7am headed to meet our friends, The Pughs, at the Georgia Aquarium. We literally woke Will up and put him in the car seat with milk and food and were on our way. John and I talked so much about how much we thought he would love the aquarium, since there would be SO much to see! And he did love it....

For about 20 minutes...

After that, it seemed as if he was saying..."Really....another fish....in the water.....woopty do!"

Touching the sting rays first might have been a mistake. Every other fish we saw he beat on the glass and started crying because he couldn't touch it. And then, after that 20 minutes, he was ready to leave. We had to bribe him to just sit in his stroller with food. The pretzels did seem to make him a bit more interested in the belugas!

When he was out of that stroller he was pitching a fit, running around, not wanting to be held AT ALL. Needless to say, we will not be going back there for a few more years!! We were glad we at least had fun company to share our misery with :) Cole was the perfect age and he really enjoyed it...at least somebody did!!

This was probably the happiest-when we made him pose next to their version of the Nemo fish, Deepo, and he saw the exit was right around the corner!

Oh well, expensive lesson learned. John and I were laughing about since he is our first and only child so far, we try to do all these fun things with him and sometimes he just isn't quite ready!
