A Day at the Aquarium

Ila and I had a nice afternoon at the Virginia Aquarium, formerly known as the Virginia Marine Science Museum, which is what I still call it... anyway, with Blair and Kate Fine! Sure, it may have been a premature effort to expose our babies to new and mind-enhancing environments, but us mommies sure did have a good time snapping pictures and watching sharks and sea turtles just inches from our faces. I was absolutely positive that the biggest scariest shark wanted to eat me. Meanwhile, Kate was more interested in sucking on her feet and Ila on her fingers, but we got some great pictures! Ila was actually interested in watching some fish swim by her here and there, but was way more interested in her fingers for sure. It was cute to see all the other mommies with their babies doing the same things... holding their babies up to look at the ginormous sea turtle right in front of them while they stare at the floor or try to devise a way to suck on their big toe. But hey, we mommies gotta get out of the house and flaunt our cool strollers at some point! Can you see Ila’s excitement in this picture?!
