Differences at the Aquarium

Good choice on a February afternoon to go to the Newport Aquarium, where, as the commercial says, the temperature is always 76 degrees.

The kids know where everything is and what's coming next. Aaron's eager to touch something, anything, in the little pools,

but Nora wants to hurry on by so she won't be asked if she wants to touch something (no!) and heads for the theatre to see what's going on there.

Aaron wants a visit to the "scary shark cage"

while Nora doesn't want to go there but wants to ponder the comings and goings of the colorful fish.

Aaron asks to see the birds and held up a cup with nectar so he can get a bird to come up close and personal

but Nora wants nothing to do with the birds, doesn't even want to go the that section, and finds something else interesting.



That's why it's good to have at least two adults on the Aquarium visit, so both get to see and do what they like.
