Newport Aquarium

This weekend, I took mom and the girls to the Newport Aquarium in Cincinnati. You cannot bring strollers ( a little FYI in case any of you are planning the trip) so I had to carry Ashlyn in a carrier while holding my camera, Sophia's Elmo purse and the diaper bag. Needless to say, that is why there is no picture of me enjoying the Aquarium! In the picture above we are trying to convince mom that the turtle was real. She obsessed about it being fake even though there was a sign below the tank explaining, in detail, about where the turtle is from, how long they live and yadayadayada!
Sophia showing Grandma where the lobster is in the tank, since she could not see it (even after we both pointed to it 10 times!).
The number one reason I do not get in the ocean past my shins!

I didn't know Jellyfish got that big!
Sophia enjoyed looking at all the cool fish, sharks and alligators, but I think the next trip to the Aquarium will be when both the girls are walking on their own and without my mom. I love the woman, but if heard "I don't see it..where is it?" one more time on that trip I was going to leave her there...good thing she does not have the internet.
