Instead of cooking breakfast we decided to go out for breakfast (with the rest of Murrieta, I'm pretty sure) so we had a lot of time to kill at our table. Of all the things we could have done with our hungry little hippo, Adam decided today was the day to teach Bennett about shooting straw wrappers at people ... Bennett thought it was about the coolest thing ever!
After a yummy breakfast and a quick drive down to Carlsbad ... we arrived at Lego Land! But since we were not interested in spending $70 a person to look at blocks quiet yet (I'm sure we will at some point, but just not today) we went to just the aquarium portion of the park!
It wasn't huge by any means, but I must say, it was fun and Bennett really enjoyed himself, so pretty much that counts as a success in my book!
They might have freaked him out a bit in the beginning, but the bubbles where you could go "inside" the water were pretty cool!
I didn't realize how yucky octopus' really are!
Totally coveting these prints ... so wish they were in Bennett's room!
We did a lot of looking and pointing, but Bennett was not interested in actually getting his hands wet!
Bennett loved looking at himself! He just kept laughing and running and then checking to make sure he could still see himself!
We ended our time at the aquarium with Bennett's super fancy 32 cent souvenir of "Nemo"
Gotta love a simple kid!
After the aquarium we went and walked the Carlsbad Outlets and actually got some awesome deals on a few things so that was a nice bonus to the day we hadn't expected! After a phenomenal meal at King's Fish House and a little overheating of our car (yep, cracked radiator here folks! It's in the shop as we speak) we headed home under the beauty of this amazing double rainbow!
