Okay, here are the aquarium pictures... better late than never, I guess. Kate enjoyed the aquarium much more this time. A year makes a huge difference (I'm sure it doesn't hurt that she didn't have a double ear infection this time around)! She also got to pick out souvenirs from the gift shop. Last year she didn't have any opinion on what to get. This year, we had no less than three fits just trying to make it through the gift shop. She settled on a penguin and a shark (her father's child).
On a completely unrelated note, a container of ground beef fell out of one of the grocery bags two days ago while we were unloading the van. I didn't realize this until I opened the van door tonight and was hit with the worst smell EVER. I was sure that if I happened to get pulled over tonight, the cop would think I had a dead body in the car. I blasted the AC, opened the windows, stuck a scented dryer sheet in the air vent, and sprayed an entire travel bottle of lysol in the back seat. It didn't even make a dent in the stench. I can only imagine what our dumpster smells like right about now.
