Wagers: Georgia Aquarium

Happy Birthday, Granna! For Granna's birthday, we surprised her with a trip to the Georgia Aquarium. This was a neat experience since Trenton was the perfect age to really start to enjoy activites like this. He was very alert and looking all around at the countless fish. The huge whale sharks and enormous manta rays caught his eye through the tunnel walk. It was nice that the aquarium was so child-friendly because Trenton could walk right up to the glass for an upclose and personal experience with the animals. He especially enjoyed that. When we were at the beluga whale tank, he would laugh and yell "boo" at the whales who circled their tank swimming by the glass during each lap. He pertty much enjoys telling anyone "boo" these days--guess we've played peek-a-boo quite a bit! :)

Opa calls Trenton, "The Little Politician" because everywhere we go, Trenton walks up to people and smiles his contagious little smile and waves hi. He is a friend to all! Two little girls became Trenton's best buds at one exhibit and he grinned from ear to ear as he toddled around with them laughing.

By the end of the trip, Trenton was exhausted. We were proud that he lasted over 3 hours at the aquarium. Like such a big boy, he never whined or became grumpy. Nevertheless, after and full belly from eating in the cafe and all the excitement of the various exhibits, he crashed in his Mommy's arm during the last Coral Reef walk. Literally, in a matter of five seconds he went from gazing at the jellyfish to happily dreaming. It was our sign to go home.

We thoroughly enjoyed our day at the Georgia Aquarium and celebrating Granna's birthday. We can't wait to all go back when Trenton is older! If a 1 year old can have that much fun, there is no telling how a older child will react!
