Benjamin and Mommy went to the aquarium today. We go often -about once a week, or at least every other week.
This morning, they went through the aquarium in reverse order. They saw all of the big tanks, the turtle stuff and then the touch tank, leaving the big room with lots of fish for last. Ben splashed in the touch tank, he held a couple of crabs and pet the horseshoe crabs, but mostly he splashed around. Then they went to the last room. He usually loves the reef exhibit, the lionfish exhibit, and the sharks. He likes the lobsters, and the moray eel, as well as the sturgeon and gar.
Well, today he wiggled and squirmed, and tossed from one tank to the other, and when he just couldn't stand it anymore, started screaming, "AGUAA, AGUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA, AGUAAAAA!!!!!"
It took Mommy a minute, but finally she realized he wanted to go back to the touch tank! They went back, and the smile on his face was worth all of the funny looks she got and the wet clothes they both had. We're looking forward to returning next week, although we're not sure what the touch tank staff will think... ;-)
