Oh, how I love Dr. Seuss.

Over the holiday weekend, we took a few road trips and visited a zoo and an aquarium. The boys seemed to really enjoy looking at the animals (although M was often more interested in pushing elevator buttons and holding stair handrails). But look at this shot of A and me, as we're looking into the giant tank:



A is really craning his neck to get a good view of what is going on. Pretty neat huh? Now look at this:


Whoa! That is one BIG sunfish. I love how A's is gawking at it too. He looks so funny there, doesn't he? It's like he realizes just how massive this thing is and is trying to absorb the moment as much as he can. It cracks me up. He was pretty mesmerized by all the tanks and colors and seemed soothed by the water. He kept reaching out to try and touch everything too.

I've been thinking about starting a small fish tank for the boys. J actually used to have these huge, beautifully-maintained tanks, but they got really labor-intensive, and we just haven't had time to think about starting one up again. I'm thinking we should start small (goldfish?) and see what happens.
