Dim sum together for brunch before we all go our separate ways towards home.

Everyone for a bathroom break. NJ waited with Uncle while we all traded off. 

Some relaxation time before being stuck in the car for a few hours again. So fun to spend time with friends as families. Glad we had this time to get away. We have a lot waiting for us when we get home.

First stop, children's museum. 

NJ was soaked within the first few minutes. We changed him to go on to the rest of the museum. 

Flexing some muscles!

I lost the boys for a while and I wasn't surprised to find them at the building and racing station. 

Even baby is helping! 

Second stop, pinball hall of fame. 

This car ride played the Knight Rider theme song, but it was a sparkly purple. I couldn't help laughing at the thought of it from watching the show with my brother. Also making me laugh was the way NJ was moving to the music. It was only a quarter for the ride so I put another one in for a repeat and recorded some of it. 

NJ's first pop rocks. We got the request to record it when he eats it for the first time. Thank you Auntie and Uncle.

Another aquarium, NJ loves them. Plus it's nice to be indoors. These were the piranhas.

Some sharks.

Pet the sting rays. NJ must've asked at least ten times. We kept saying we didn't know, you just have to see. When he saw that you could he was so excited. Problem is, he couldn't reach as much as he tried. Baba helped to hold him just enough for one to pass and barely brush his finger. But that's all it took, that made him happy. 

Ooh bigger sharks.
And even bigger ones. 

There's a shark on your back.

NJ found the only Lego book or Lego anything in this store and plopped himself down to look through it page by page. 

Some yummy lunch and yummy coffee together. 

Heading to the pool, how cute. 

Everyone's looking up to see where the sinkers fall. 

The towel wouldn't stay on, but he was cold so Baba made up his own kind of toga wrap for him.

A stop for some caffeine before getting on the road. Just for Baba and Mama, NJ has some chocolate milk. 

NJ is getting more use out of his headphones he used at school. This way he can watch a movie and we can listen to our music. Funny thing is, NJ was still saying almost every line of the movie and mimicking sounds. Hilarious. He had us laughing in the front. 

Bathroom break and a little snack to hold us over. 

Yay, first real stop to see an aquarium. 

I think he's pointing at the puffer or the fish that was swimming in circles. 

Scuba cleaners inside. The boys waved at him. 

The boys all walked around the store while the girls went to sit at Starbucks to hang out.

Some pool time. It's hot! NJ did so much diving his eyes are all red. I should have brought him goggles. 

NJ wanted to keep wearing his sunglasses after dinner. I asked him if he was too cool. No answer.
