last weekend...

We had an action packed weekend last weekend.  We kicked it off by meeting friends at the the Discovery Center on Friday.  This is a hand-on museum of sorts for kids which got an A+ from this mom.  Ethan loved it!  His favorite was using this 'digger' to pick up rocks. 



We then headed south to Atlanta for the weekend to visit Grandma and Grandpa.  We went to the Georgia Aquarium first thing on Saturday.  We watched their new dolphin show which was pretty amazing and theatrical. 

We were sitting by one of the huge tanks watching whale sharks and such swim around when a group of divers entered the water in scuba gear.  The last time Ethan saw divers was on a submarine in Maui in which he was terrified of the divers.  He overcame his fear as one of the women came right up next to the glass and waved hello and a variety of verbal signs and Ethan would "sign" right back!  She had paid a good fortune to experience swimming with sharks and fish of sorts and was more intrigued by Ethan.  Needless to say it gave us all a big laugh and he overcame his fear!

Ethan also touched several cownose sting rays and a sea urchin.  I definitely think he will be just like his daddy when it comes to marine biology.  We left the aquarium and ate at Legal Seafood.  After we enjoyed the fish, we decided to go eat some!  Well, everyone but me...I usually stick to chicken!  Ethan had the New England Clam Chowder.  Just what every other two year old eats, right?

Sunday we spend our morning at the Fernbank Natural History Museum.  Everyone was impressed with the enormity of the dinosaur skeletons.  I found it to be a perfect time to learn and see dinosaurs since Ethan just spent Halloween pretending to be one. 


 

 

Whew!  What a weekend we had!  Thanks to Grandpa and Grandma for a such a great time!
