We had a fun filled weekend! For my Mother-in-law's 50th birthday, she wanted the whole family to go to the Long Beach Aquarium, CA to celebrate. We have been a bunch of times, but none with Olivia. I was super excited to bring her! Especially since we used to have a fish tank when she was an infant, she was so intrigued and amazed by the fish. Now she is older and fully understanding the different types of animals. (Even though she calls every animal Stitch now because of our dog).
It was actually overcast and humid but all of us who live in Southern Cali know how badly we needed some rain. Thankfully we were in tanks and shorts because that humidity nearly killed me! (okay, not literally...) Anyways, the second we walked in Olivia was going nuts. Pointing and saying "ohhhhh" to everything! It was way too cute! We fed the birds, where they landed on you and Olivia, the animal lover, HATED it. OMG, she never has held me so tight and was yelling at the birds to go away. Besides seeing all the fish, jellyfish, sharks, etc. She touched the starfish for the first time and we saw a cute little sea lion show. Oli LOVED the sea lions! Just like her mommy. I'm pretty sure though her favorite were the colorful fish. Trying to pull her away from the tanks, was a nightmare.
The funny part of the day was lunch. Just a reminder we are with the whole family on my husband side. His parents, brothers, and even his godmother was there. His mom decided for her bday lunch she wanted Hooters! I was shocked and I'm pretty sure everyone else was too. Way to celebrate her 50th! If you knew his family, you would understand how much of a surprise this was. It was great though! Especially having everyone stare at you for bringing a toddler in that restaurant, and the waitress ask if you saved room for dessert when our meals haven't even came yet. Good times... Later that evening we went to Blake's godmothers house in Manhattan Beach for dinner. Her house is amazing! I wish I took photos of all her cute decor. Typical beach house but done right! I'll be calling her for some interior decorating types when we buy our house. It was a great weekend!
