Anyway, I had another fun day yesterday! The forecast was for rain, so we decided to go to the aquarium early in the morning, then hang out at either the beach or pool in the afternoon once the rain stopped. It worked out really well and we got to the aquarium a little after 9 when it opened. We got a good parking space and went right in. We walked around and saw some fishies and a few big plastic frogs which I really liked. Not too long after we got there, there was a dive show in the big tank. They had built a replica of the U-352 which was the sub that daddy got to see on Tuesday! He said it was a pretty good replica, but was a little smaller than the real thing. They had three divers who suited up and gave a demonstration in the water. The one diver had a full face mask and was able to talk to us from under the water! Daddy taught me that divers make bubbles when they breathe, so now I keep talking about how I saw the divers make bubbles. When the first diver entered the water, I said "there's daddy!" I got a little restless there, so we got up and walked around some more. I got to touch a horseshoe crab, hermit crab, and even a few stingrays! I didn't want to leave the ray tank.
We went to lunch after the aquarium, then came back to the condo to take a nap. I took a really long nap and we went to the pool afterwards. Mom and dad got me a new swim vest that made me a little more comfortable in the water. I chased mom around the pool and drove my little boat a little too. We couldn't stay there too long because it started raining, so we came back in. I kept putting my seashell up to my ear and saying "I call grandpa on my shell" so mom called grandpa and I talked to him with my shell up to my ear. We had a low key rest of the evening.
Today we were going to go to the beach in the morning and to see Fort Macon in the afternoon. We packed everything up and headed down to the beach, but were only there for a few minutes when it started raining again :( There was no end in sight, so we packed up and came back in. I was having a "sensitive" day today and just wanted mom to hold me, so we sat on the couch for a while and snuggled. I also got to talk to grammy and grampy on my shell-phone! I ended up taking an early nap which worked out ok. When I got up, we drove to Fort Macon which was only a few miles from our condo. I got to ride on mommy's back since there were steps that were not stroller friendly. I was SO good and just hung out and talked to mom and dad for the few hours they were there. I saw some cannons and knew that they said "boom boom." There were a few rooms that had museum type exhibits and I got to push the buttons to make the programs start.
Here are some pictures from today. Daddy got a lot more on his camera, but we'll have to post those later.
The entrance to the fort. It was pretty crazy with steep drop offs and no railings.

I was tired, so put my blanket on mom's shoulder and put my head down for a little.
The flag. I told mommy: "Look at the big towel..."
Me and daddy with one of the cannons.
I put my face up to the cannon and yelled "Hello!" It said "Hello" back to me!
One more day, then we have a LONG drive home. Thank goodness for my magnadoodle!
