h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Took the whole family down to the National Aquarium in Baltimore (A884441) for the day Sunday.

After seeing all the fish and generally having a great time, we went to a little cafe along the harbor and watched the sun go down.

Visiting the NAIB made me remember that the entry needed updated since the seahorse exhibit is no longer there. And that the facility is under a renovation/construction project to add a whole new section dealing with Australia.

But mainly, we just had fun watching the kids explore and learn. Life is a whole lot more fun when viewed through the eyes of your children...

This is the sort of thing we are both looking forward to - just seeing the world through a different set of eyes and getting to do stuff we might otherwise not have done.

Though at some point you'll wonder where they get all their energy...

I think Ginger was wondering that they other day - Ginger said he was jumping around like crazy after a long bus journey!

At least it's a bit more comfortable when they do it *outside* your tum!

But every once in a while...

About a year ago I was on my hands and knees in the living room and my 40 pound little one jumped on my back like I was a pony. I thought I was going to die.

Jimi - you wouldn't have a clue but that is nowhere near as bad as an 8 or 9lb jumping up and down on your bladder 24/7! This baby is going to be a thai boxer or a break dancer. It really freaks DD out because my whole belly moves and ripples as it spins around on its head.

Perhaps you shouldn't listen to so much hip-hop music?

He he he! We do listen to The Music Factory quite often and the baby's favourites are Black Eyed Peas and Rachel Stevens. One day it got so bad I had to turn the music off because the movements were making me sick!
