Abrianna loves to splash! Dante likes to get up and see what's going on!

Today we took a little trip to Emerald Glen park with cousin Selena. Much to my surprise Dante really enjoyed himself in the cold water...which is pretty rare for him! He usually doesn't like the spraying or splashing much but he was totally into it and had a blast...of course so did Massimo & Abrianna...those two were soaked from head to toe. It took Massimo a little while to warm up to the water...it was really cold and the sprays he didn't like too much but once he got used to it, it was hard to get him out! Abi kept getting up to walk and falling down because there's a slight slope and it was pretty funny but she kept on and got herself to walking around and liked to sit and splash, too. They all had lots of fun and were wiped out!

Our Trip to the SF Aquarium by the Bay

Fun at the SF Aquarium by the Bay

We took a trip to the SF Aquarium by the Bay today to satisfy Massimo's constant wish to "see the ocean and fishies". At the end of the day we asked Massimo if he had fun (yes, of course he says) and his most favorite thing was the...scuba diver! Yes, that's all he talked about when we asked him what he saw. Of course when we jogged his memory and talked about the fish and what we did he enjoyed "finding Nemo" (one of his favorite movies - and where the fascination of scuba divers all started...don't be surprised if that's what he ends up being for Halloween!) and touching the Stingray and sharks...and outside of the aquarium he got to see trains (Bart), trolleys, buses, and of course the ocean! It was all very exciting for him to be in a big city like that with so much variety around him...so many things to see. The twins loved it, too. Abrianna got to interact a lot more since she is walking and more able, it was a little hard to let Dante crawl so he got to snack and check it all out from stroller view. He did get out at the end in the toddler area and got to touch the sea urchins and he loved that so much! He got really excited watching all the fish swim by. It was a fun day (and tiring chasing after at least 2 and sometimes 3).
