Fun at The Aquarium

This weekend our friends from New Hampshire, who have recently relocated to Jersey City came down for a visit.  We are so excited that they are only an hour away as opposed to five hours.  We spent the day eating pizza for lunch, going to the aquarium, and playing on the beach.  We had so much fun and more importantly Caden was exhausted and crashed out in the car before we even made it out of the parking lot of the aquarium.

 Eating lunch with his buddy Brady.

 He didn't last long in that stroller.  In his head he was screaming, "let me out dad!!"

 Watching the seals being fed.

They were looking at the touch tank before letting the boys play.  Caden had no fear and grabbed right ahold of a sting ray.  Mommy on the other hand was freaking out especially when Caden started to drink the water from the touch tank. Play time was over IMMEDIATELY!!

 LOL.. look at the lady's face behind Ed.  Caden was giving the penguins a kiss and this old grandma obviously did not approve of our child putting his lips on the grimey window.

 Trying to wiggle his way out of Mommy's arms.

 Throwing his coat down and he's gone!!

 This is how I spend most of my day.. rounding him up and bringing him back to the group.

 We finally capture him and strapped him back in his stroller.. this is what he thought of it...

 Not a happy boy!!

Daddy had his own fun at the aquarium too.

Then we headed to the boardwalk and the beach.  It may be February, but it was still warm enough to burn some toddler energy out there on the sand.

 Little Man on a Mission!

Come on Mommy... let's go!

Yet another fun weekend with great friends!
