A 4D movie at the Baltimore aquarium

Saturday we went to the Baltimore aquarium with our friend Chris.

Amelia has been there twice before, and Daphne once.  This time, we saw the dolphin show and a 4D movie.  The movie was awesome!

Well, the movie was not great, actually.  The story was nature themed, but fairly unconnected, and ended abruptly.  But the smells, breeze, water spray, vibrating seat, and pokes in the back (from something in the seat) were really fun!  The most memorable part for the girls was when a older, bearded man on screen blows water explosively out of his mouth (due to laughing, or something), in 3D, and the water misters sprayed us.  Ew!

The little boy next to us had to be taken out because he didn’t like it.  Amelia and Daphne were all smiles, with the exception of the slow-motion shark attack, when Daphne hid her face.

The Boss of the Table

This kid cracks me up.  I can’t stop watching the video in the link below the picture.

We visited our friend Chris.  He made the girls s’mores, and Daphne ended up at the head of the table to eat hers.  She talked for 15 minutes about being “The boss of the table”, and all of the responsibilities that come along with that post.

D: “I’m going to do a lot of very hard work tomorrow.  I’m the boss of the table.”

Me: What are you?

D: “The boss of the table”

Me: What’s that mean?

“The person who’s on the very top.  They’re the boss of the table.”

We reviewed all the jobs she had to do the next day, including the dishes, making all of our food, cleaning up Dozer’s poops in the back yard, taking us everywhere, reading to us…

Dancing Daphne

Daphne is taking dance at her preschool.  Parents are invited to observe a class each winter.

She was really good at first position and plies, and moving to second position.

Here, she knew she was very funny!

They ended with a game of limbo, and got reallllly low.
