Re: yesterday's field trip

[Guest guest]

we had fun, too! It was great to meet everyone. fell asleep as we pulled

out of the parking lot! She was so tired. That's great that ELias enjoyed it

so much. I think was just too tired to interact the way she normally

does. Hope we can do it again (with a more well rested !).

when I dropped Elias off at his preschool, he went running to his teacher

and said " Guess what? We went to the aquarium yesterday! I saw SpongeBob! " .

He is hoarse this morning because he was shouting so much yesterday.

Jill - if the photos of Elias and Ian with the turtle props come out, I

would love a copy.

We had fun too. She told daddy she met " new friends at the aquarium. "

I'm glad Elias liked Spongebob. I told Clara we were going to see

the dinosaurs again so I think she was a little disappointed. But we

still had a good time meeting all of you :-)

We also had a grand time. We've been going there since the kids were little.

And one of the all time faves it the jelly fish tank. In the Baltimore

aquarium it's the tank full of seahorses ... not sure if that's still there, but

it was for the longest time. Our loves those two and got the jelly fish

and seahorse beanie babies ages ago ... and they're still on her bed.

I just ran out the last of my film so I will be dropping it off in the next

day or two. So, when it comes in, hopefully we'll have Elias and Ian and

with the turtle shells, and maybe one of Ian holding him kind'a upside down

-- not sure if the flash went off for that one.

Our was suitably " bored " every time a camera was aimed at her, but I

know she smiled a few times during the day (grin). And I know Ian had fun ...

he likes little kids. My siblings are all a bit younger than me so he is

used to playing with/chasing after the younger set.

And both my kids were doing Sponge Bob riffs on the way home. That or

singing along to Weird Al and Led Zepplin. (what a mix!)

We should try and do a Dinosaur park outing in the spring. We can make casts

of dinosaur footprints. It's really gloppy and messy and fun! Or go dig for

garnets in Roxbury. Nothing like giving a kid a rock hammer and telling he

is ALLOWED to hit the rocks as much as he wants. (grin)

Oh I am so bummed that I couldn't make it, but I will tell you, I couldn't

move on Sunday. It was painful to just think of lowering myself into a car

seat. Today is a little better, but I am geting some good chuckles from

people who know I did the race and who see me trying to avoid anything that

goes down. If you do any of these other fun things, jut make sure they're

not the weekend of the Boston Marathon, OK?

Boston is always on a Monday (Patriot's Day). Tom CLAIMS he is

not going to do it, but he wants to qualify when he runs New York

in 3 weeks. So who knows, he may be thinking to run it again.
