Aquarium
Went to the Brooklyn Aquarium yesterday. Luke and Melissa came along, mainly to see the baby walrus. The kids had great fun checking out the fish. Victoria loved just looking at them, especially one tank full of colorful ones. She was a little scared when anything big got too close to the glass, though. Especially when I set her up leaning against the window and the Walrus came by.
Claire has a bit of a scare when she looked into a dark tank and suddenly focussed in on a nautilus. Not a very pretty thing to come nose to nose with.
Luke was great with all three kids, even Victoria who seems to like him as much as Claire does. We spent a bit of time in the new cafe, though. Nice to sit for a while.
Avery managed to spill something at every meal, though. We need to break him of this. I’m still not even sure what it is that does it since I never seem to be looking at him when it happens, but Diana has seen it and says it’s just him flailing around like he normally does when he gets fidgity.
Oh, and I served in church in the morning, with three people running the service it was a bit crowded at the alter, but everything went relatively smoothly.

I used to spill at EVERY meal until I was 7 or 8 years old…must be genetic!

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. But then again, you were pretty fidgety too.
