Monterey Bay Aquarium

We were a sick household this past week.  Poor Jayson had pneumonia which put him out of commission for two weeks. Then I got a stomach bug, but thankfully the kiddos stayed healthy.  With Jack turning 2 the kiddos have been showered with packages which couldn't have come at a better time.  We finally made it out for a much needed excursion on Mother's day to Monterey Bay Aquarium. We had a great time exploring the area before hitting up the aquarium, it was a great escape!

Aunt Brandy sent some watercolor books for Jack's Birthday. He was very focused, he did a great job.

 

  My little nature hunters collected leaves, sticks and petals at our church Mom's group and I told Ellie I had the perfect project for her treasurers once we got home.




Ellie and I each made a fairy.


Grandma Debbie sent a water table!

It is pure joy, Jack was in awe!

Our sensory activity for this month was a big hit.

Jack kept smashing Ellie's little castles before she could
 which he thought was hysterical, Ellie not so much.









We made a Michael's run to restock on supplies and I came across these water gems which I thought would be a perfect addition to our water play fun.  The kids loved them.

Jack's favorite thing was a little tunnel with toddler size aquariums,
 he loved the baby clown-fish. I had to drag him out.

Our kiddos would have played in the play zone all
day if we would have let them.



 The jellyfish are always soothing to look at, they are such amazing creatures.







I think it's safe to say we enjoyed our time in Monterey!
