Today we went to the Virginia Aquarium and Marine Science Center. We had planned on going for an iMax movie (Whales & Dolphins 3D) but we didn't make it on time! We pulled into the parking lot just as it was supposed to be starting, and it was the last showing. I can't seem to get out of the house fast enough right now - too much on my plate I guess! I always forget to leave extra time for dealing with Izzie, and I am the queen of waiting until the last minute to do
everything, including getting ready to go somewhere! But, we have a family membership there, so we decided to explore the aquarium until it closed 1 hour and 15 minutes later. It was fun, even though it was short! Mikaela was so funny - we went about 3 months ago and she LOVED the fish and turtles. Today, she was terrified of them! She didn't even want me to put her down at first. She found comfort in sissy and Brooklin's arms though so mommy could take pictures. She lightened up a little after a while and started making her really surprised "O" face. So cute! Haley enjoyed her time at the sting ray/skate pool as usual. She loves to pet them! I always get a little nostalgic when we are there. So many years ago when Haley was so weak from being so sick from chemo, we brought her and Brooklin to the Aquarium and Haley got so excited about the sting rays that she walked again for the first time! She was 3 years old. Bitter sweet memories! :)

It's not so scary with cousin Brooklin holding her!

It's always fun taking pictures here...
Haley, the apprentice, taking pictures!
Sadly, there's nothing left of Mikaela but a shoe! haha
Brooklin, the mad scientist!
