Splish Splash

Traci, Katie, and Michael made the trek to Baltimore today to visit the fantastic National Aquarium.  (Poor Mike and Nevie were home recovering from some serious bouts of illness...)  We three healthy ones had a blast seeing the sharks, rays, turtles, and crocs.  Michael was especially enamored by the Aquarium's temporary jellyfish exhibit (see the amazing Chihuly jellyfish art representation in the picture).  He ran from tank to tank yelling, "Don't stink me!  Don't stink me!"  He loved them so much that we brought home a baby jellyfish stuffed animal that he named Stink.

As for Katie, she fell in love with the playful dolphins.  The dolphins apparently love to splash visitors, whether the visitors want to be wet or not.  Check out the kids getting drenched by their new playmates.  Of course, being the middle of February and all, Traci did not bring a change of clothes for either kid.  That didn't bother them, of course, because they had a new memory of a lifetime!
