We took Lucas the the Newport Aquarium for a fun family day. This aquarium is awesome! It has lots of tunnels to walk through that make you feel like you are in the ocean with the fish and sharks swimming all around you. Lucas was pretty quiet the entire trip - just observing all the tanks and the people around us. He even did great for the little show they had which was a diver underwater in the shark tank telling us about the sharks and answering questions. I think this trip really highlighted for me the joys of being a parent - watching Lucas learn and be excited about the world around him. I found myself always looking at Lucas to see his reaction to the sharks, Denver the sea turtle, the brightly colored fish, or the jellyfish. I just love seeing the world through the eyes of someone who is experiencing it for the first time because it makes you stop and appreciate life. At the very end of the aquarium they had a penguin exhibit. I love penguins! Lucas was too sleepy by this point to really get into their funny antics. Maybe next time :)
