Jared took the entire last week of my maternity leave off to spend with us. We decided to go downtown to the aquarium for something fun to do since the weather was a little cold for an outside activity. Zavier was especially interested in looking for turtles and we saw a lot of them. I am posting a picture of him getting to pet a pretty big snake but it is a little hard to see. One of the highlights for him was a row boat set up for kids to play in. He hopped right in and put his lift jacket on and started rowing. You would think he has been doing it his whole life! We spent the morning looking at the exhibits and then had a sack lunch we brought with us int he cafeteria. After lunch Zavier wanted to go to the gift shop so him and I went to look around while Jared finished giving Mila a bottle. He found a dancing penguin that played Christmas music and started busting a move in the middle of the gift shop saying, "come on mommy, it's a dance party!" I wish I had it on video. Sometimes he is too much to take! Once again, Mila slept in her stroller like a champ!!
On the way there we asked Zavier if he wanted to see the Sears Tower and he of course said yes. We pointed it out to him from the car and once we parked and started walking to the aquarium he pointed to it and said, "there it is, let's go to it!" He didn't realize it was almost a mile away. Jared and I both look forward to taking him to see it up close in the spring.
This nice relaxing trip was the perfect ending to a wonderful maternity leave.
