Jake celebrated his birthday last Friday with a visit to the New England Aquarium. Alex and I both took the day off so that we could spend the day as a family, celebrating our little man. We both have birthdays in the summer and know it's really cool not to have to go to "school" on your birthday..so we hope for this for Jake for the next 18 years!
We started our morning by treating the little man to a "cold one" from DD. Whip cream and all! It was a kiddie coolata..very small but delicious all the same.
We spent the rest of the day watching the seals ("BIG" Seals"), turtles ("BIIIGGG Turtles") and fishies at their home in Boston.
I have to say, I was a bit surprised that he wouldn't touch anything in the hands on part. He loved looking at the crabs and star fish, but had no desire to touch them ! There was even a bronze statue of a turtle at one point and he was afraid to touch that as well! So cute.
We were able to walk Faneuil Hall after the visit to the fishies. Here, Jake got to ask Red what happened with the Celt's NBA Finals loss the night before...Red had no response. Typical.
Lunch at the Aquarium did not satisfy this Birthday Boy.. Frozen Yogurt topped it all off.
In all it was a great day..and a tiring one.
Happy 2nd Birthday Jake!
