We then took him outside to see the sea lions, penguins, and beluga whales, but we had the same luck. He didn’t even seem to see the sea lions – possibly because of their gray bodies against the gray background. When we were near the penguin tank he was more interested in the yellow “do not cross” tape around another exhibit that was closed. The beluga whales were swimming right in front of him, but he kept swiveling his head around to see the screaming kids. It was a little frustrating, and a lot of humorous. We will try again when he’s a little older. Maybe for now he’ll have greater recognition of what he’s seeing on the television when Elmo does his little skit about fish.

Unfortunately I didn’t get any pictures. I even had the camera and camcorder with us, but I didn’t think of it until we were back at the car. Bad Mommy…. but there’s always next time.
