Here fishy, fishy

Today we went to the aquarium and saw lots and lots of fish and other fun watery things.  We touched star fish (a little reluctantly), saw jelly fish, octopus a friendly sea lion being fed and lots of colorful fish of all shapes and sizes.  Above all, Carmen's favorite things were running from exhibit to exhibit without really looking at anything for more than a few seconds, touching the fake coral and feeling shark teeth.  Max was mostly patient during the outing and  enjoyed watching fish go by.  When he got antsy, we kept him occupied with what else, several packages of Mum Mum crackers.

The crowning achievement for the day was, drum roll please...

Carmen got her face painted!  She saw some other kiddos with fun designs painted on their faces and she said she would like one too.  Well, we know how that went last time (as a refresh, Grandma stood in line for over an hour so Little C could get her face painted and when it was her turn she refused to do it).  Today was a moral victory.  There was no line. Carmen sat, she smiled and said the paint tickled when it was being applied.  She came away with a red octopus on her cheek.  Not sure who was ginning more, Carmen or Mom and Dad.

The afternoon concluded with lunch out and then home for naps.
