tobey's first trip to the aquarium

Last Friday, Adam took the day off from work, and we took Tobey to the Georgia Aquarium for the first time.  We are trying to do a few special things with him before the baby is born.  Tobey had a lot of fun, and so did we.  We saw the Dolphin show for the first time, and that was really the only thing that Tobey did not like because it was real dark in the theater and there were lots of loud noises.  Adam and I thought the show was cheesy...we just wanted to see the dolphins do tricks. But anyways...

They make you leave the aquarium by going through the gift shop, and of course Tobey took his sweet time looking around.  He found this bin of rocks, and he started to play with them.  It costs $5 for a bag of rocks so we told him we couldn't buy any.  Tobey had a rock in his hand so Adam got one too.  Somehow they both ended up dropping their rocks.  We found one and put it back in the bin, but we couldn't find the other so we assumed it rolled somewhere.  Turns out it must have fallen into Tobey's pocket or bounced and went in his pocket because we found it later in the day in Tobey's car seat.

Funny side note about rocks...  We went to Outback a few weeks ago with my mom and Becky, and Tobey got a rock outside and placed it inside the restaurant on a window seal.  As we leave, he insisted on getting his rock which he placed back outside with the other rocks.  Last night we went again with Adam's family, and before we even park at the restaurant, Tobey says he wants a rock.  Not sure how he remembered or how he even knew we were at the same restaurant.

Later that day we asked Tobey what his favorite part of the aquarium was, and he said, "the best part was the fishies" and "maybe if there were stunt airplanes we'd go back." Crazy kid.

Still another month+ to go!
