Trip to the Acadmey

Over the holiday break, K took her first trip to the Academy of Sciences. We were expecting it to be super crowded the Monday after New Year's, but we were pleasantly surprised that it was not bad at all!

K got to see many animals and exhibits such as real reindeer. We learned they eat corn and sweet potato.

We also saw turtles from the Galapagos Islands. Daddy has been to the actual island. He was in the water next to the turtles and said they are quite friendly.

We saw a penguin get ready to take a dive in the water as well.

K's favorite attraction was the aquarium. She was in awe when they swam by her.

She wanted to touch the fish. As you can see, she is not wearing any shoes. Her socks got rather dirty. I think it's time to purchase some shoes for her now that she is able to stand.

K is waiting patiently for the the Nemos to swim by.

Before we headed home, we ventured into the Snowman dome and K watched her first movie on how snow was made. K wasn't too interested and was rather bored. Mommy didn't care for it either. Next time K goes to a theater, it will be a kid's flick for sure!  The coolest thing happened when we got out of the dome, snow started to fall.

The academy was a fun way to end our holiday break. We are looking forward to going again soon!
