Throwback: Labor Day 2012

The boys and I saw a commercial for Adventure Aquarium the other day, and they immediately begged me to take them there for a visit.  When I told them they had already been there once, they didn't believe me - so I brought up this blog to prove it... only to discover I never wrote the post!  So, my dear Liam and Joergen, this one is for you (better late than never).

Labor Day of 2012 came with a bunch of rain and a wide open schedule - a rarity! - for us.  Joergen was a curious, animal-loving toddler at the time, and we knew we needed an outing for the day to occupy our squirrely little men.  With all the rain, we nixed the Zoo and opted instead for a visit to the Adventure Aquarium across the river in Camden.

Apparently, the rest of the greater Philadelphia area had the same idea, because it was pretty crowded!  That didn't stop us from having a great time, though.

We saw giant sea turtles...

...pet the sharks...

... and found Nemo.

We made some music...

and climbed inside all kinds of things!  Such as turtle shells...

... a fish tank...

... and a shark's mouth!

One of our favorite spots was the tunnel through the shark tank, where we got up close and personal with some very cool creatures.

Although it was our first visit, I'm pretty sure it won't be our last!
