Wednesday we spent the afternoon at the Pacific Science Center with Grandma Christy. The boys LOVED it and we had to drag Jack out of there when they closed. Ethan mostly just wanted to crawl around but Jack wanted to do every single station -- and he paid close attention to everything he learned.
This is Jack lying in the dinosaurs footprint.
This is Jack in the space section.
We spent a lot of time in the bug section and he and Grandma had fun walking through the butterfly garden area. Ethan and I stayed out so that he could crawl around as much as possible.
Ethan tried to put together a standing bug puzzle. Then he and Jack had fun "playing" chess! I think it ended up as a battle instead, as every piece got knocked down in the process.
We spent the most time in the toddler play area. Both boys really enjoyed it in here. There was music for Ethan to play, and water for Jack to play in and both enjoyed discovering all the corners of the area. At one point, Ethan came down the slide then stood almost straight up and turned toward the slide to do it again. I really think he'll be walking soon!!
Here Jack was touching starfish and sea anenomes.
Here Jack is playing Tic-Tac-Toe with this big computer.
Ethan was happiest when he could find a mirror to talk to.
We brought the car seats in from Grandma's car and the next morning, Ethan crawled over and made his way into his seat. I guess he was anxious to get to the aquarium with Auntie Jake!
The boys really enjoyed the aquarium and all it had to offer. We got to see a suba diver feeding the fish, an octopus who was very active and moving about, otters and jellyfish and all sorts of pretty fish.
Auntie Jake and Jack even became jellyfish for a few minutes.
It was a fun and busy few days in the city and both boys had a blast. Now I've been enjoying a few days of doing nothing around the house. I'm 7 months pregnant now and it's rough looking after these two boys -- they wear me out!
