under the sea

The kids took their first trip to the aquarium when Mom came to visit. Check out the cute flower barrettes in Emily's hair from grandma! And they're totally legal (Jason is vehemently opposed to flowers/bows that are larger than 2/3 her face size). Mallory was fascinated by the floor to ceiling underwater observatory!

Emily overheard a lady remark, "That's amazing" when viewing the sunflower starfish, and promptly turns to Brady and informs him, "That's amazing" in a matter-of-fact voice. I think she got the idea that the starfish was actually named Amazing. Cheryl and I totally got a kick out of it! Emily would rather hold the plastic lobster than touch the real critters in the tidepools :)
The view of La Jolla from the outdoor tide pools. Jealous, anyone? Just come and visit!!
We had a little too much fun with the shark mouth...



Emily was absolutely fascinated with the multiple-way mirrors, and stayed there with her "other Emilys" for at least ten minutes.
checking out her friends :)

That looks like so much fun! It always amazes me how much Mallory looks like Brady!

I Am Jealous! And i'm with your husband on the hair bows thing! There's some friends of mine who put bows the size of their kids heads on there and it's like a mini solar system forming!
