Last Friday was Olivia Tafao's 2nd birthday and we had a blast running all around the Academy of Sciences. Olivia's is one of the twins friend from church and our co-op group, so they are all best buds. There were about 6 kids going in all different direction but we managed to have a good time. This is what everyone looked like before we unloaded them all out of the stroller...
Olivia had an agenda of her own so the twins and Caleb hung out mostly in the aquarium and shared snacks.
We did something new on this trip, the rainforest room. Other than being very hot and humid inside, the kids loved it. There was all kinds of butterflies, birds, bugs, frogs, etc just roaming around in the open. All the animals had such amazing colors! The pictures just don't do them justice.
Once you are done in the rainforest, you board this elevator that takes you way down to an underwater tunnel...so super cool! We thought this was a great spot to try and do a group shot. It was tough trying to get everyone up on the bench and sitting still for at least 5sec...
We had a short stop to see the albino alligator and anaconda snake...ick! I can't believe Timo got right up to the glass!
Then we all headed up stairs for lunch and the chaos that ensued...the kids only sat down for a minute to gobble up some cheese and banana before they were off and running. (actually, Cameron wouldn't even sit down) For some reason they found the garbage/recycling area the most fun. Cameron expecially liked the "tunnel" crawl space next to the cans.
Olivia's dad, Elijah, was so nice to keep track of all the kids so us mom's could eat our lunches...what a treat we all had being able to talk AND finish our lunch!! What a great trip all around...
