Aquarium...

Today, Alexander & Mommy went to the Aquarium for some fun and to enjoy the spring weather!
There is a new exhibit opening up which is a shark & sting ray touch tank. So, as members, we got to enjoy this part (although I only saw sting rays in the tank) of the aquarium without so many people around. He loved it, although he didn't want to touch anything.Alexander was more excited to see the sharks than anything else! So we went to the Giant Ocean Tank walking around to see the sharks.
He really wasn't excited about any thing else in the tank, including the cute turtles. After that we went to the crab & starfish touch tanks. Of course, Alexander still was not interested in touching anything but made one of the workers pick up a crab for him!We went to the cafe for a little snack and ended up spending most of the time in the cafe taking pictures by using the timer. We then went to check out the Sea Lions outside and Alexander was in awe of how they same and how fast they were. He could have stood there for hours (or chased them back & forth).The best part of the whole day was as we were leaving Alexander pointed at the Custom House Clock Tower which resulted in the cutest conversation:
A: Mommy, that's your favorite building
M: Yes, yes it is.
A: We should take a picture
M: With us?
A: Yes, and the timer
M: Okay
A: Mommy, I just love you and if you bleed I will take care of you. If you have a headache I will stay with you forever to make you feel the best. I just love you.

My most favorite conversation of the weekend!
