Robin and I took the kids to the Newport Aquarium today!
They had a good time, with the exception of the little kids having to wear their monkey-backpack (Gracie), and Doggie-Backpack (Wesley), which they really wanted to run around like Thomas and Samantha. I think Robin and I will both have sore arms tomorrow from them pulling on us.
I think their favorite parts were a huge frog-nasium they've installed right in the middle, (it's a playground like at McDonald's but with very low lighting and tiny frog cages inside all over!) and the jellyfish room.
In the jellyfish room, they have a big wall with a video of jellyfish floating by, and when you swat at them, they actually move!
We also took them in the giant candy store at the exit, and they all 4 ran around (ok Robin and I too!) trying to decide which 1 (ha ha) they would get. I ended up with a giant round lollipop for Grace, a bag of gummy sharks and alligators for Thomas, and chocolate covered pretzels for me...I also have several other bags of candy....no comment.
Everyone is exhausted, and the little ones fell asleep in the car coming home.

ps- Below are the pictures:
They got balloon animals from a man on stilz (which Grace was amazed by)
The bottom left picture shows Grace standing on a clear-glass floor looking down at fish -mostly waiting for alligators to swim under....
