We went to the aquarium today. I don’t think any of us set foot outside last week except to go caroling on Christmas Eve. We just vegged out in front of the Wii and ate all sorts of junk food and got really fat and lazy. So this week I decided we have to get out at least every other day. At least! So today was “go to the aquarium day” because I had two free passes that expire like right now. We had all sorts of fun. And it only cost us $19.00 versus the usual $50. Denver loved petting the sting rays. Noah had a flounder fall in love with him–honest. The twins loved just about everything and Caleb was very curious about the sharks and whether or not they wanted to eat him. We stopped at the Jellyfish exhibit because the shark exhibit was at capacity and sat down for a moment. The kids whipped their snacks out of their pockets and we all sat in the dark, watching the jellyfish pulse up and down in the tank. Oh, if only I could have laid down and had a nap. It was very soothing. Anyway, Hunter wandered away for a few minutes and returned to ask me what a remedy is. I explained and then, in a little, quirky half-smile Hunter informed us all that “urine is a remedy for jellyfish stings.” Lovely. So then our nice, quiet moment turned into all sorts of giggles and snorts about who they’d have pee on them if they got stung and if it would be better to carry a bottle of white vinegar or meat tenderizer (healthy alternatives to urine) in our beach bag or just drink a lot of water before setting off to the beach. Gotta love that aquarium!
