Friday was a rainy day here in Connecticut which means our plans for Madeline to go to swim practice and then golf and tennis camp got canceled. Bummer, right? WRONG! Since we couldn't do that, Dorothy suggested we go to the aquarium instead. So Mad called her friend Nicki from across the street, and the three of us (Alex is still playing in the Hamptons) went to the aquarium. It was so much fun. We saw lots of sea life, it is an aquarium that focuses on things that are found in and around the Long Island Sound (which is nearer to us than the Atlantic is). We saw seals and sharks and sea turtles and penguins and lots of different fish. We got to touch a cow nose ray. They have a whole area with all different kinds of frogs and toads. I thought the blue poison frog thing (I forget his real name, but it was something about being poisonous...and he was blue...and a frog...) was really cool. He was so pretty! They have a IMAX theater inside the building so later in the afternoon we went and watched a film called Deep Sea. Johnny Depp and Kate Winslet narrated it and it was really interesting and way cool to see the amazing picture and 3D effects. After that we got ourselves a treat (Ice cream. Yum!) and wandered around a little more then came home. We all had a really good time!

This is that poisonous frog I mentioned above. I googled him and found out that he's called a Blue Poison Dart Frog. He's pretty isn't he?!

I love that you are taking pictures, including ones with you in them. I loved your blue frog and the flower behind him.
I love these pics. You look so pretty AND that necklace you are wearing just adds a little UMPH!! ;) I love you darlin'. Keep the pictures coming!!
Thank you for visiting our Aquarium and sharing your experience with others. Keep an eye on our web site, even sign up for e-mail alerts, to know the latest happenings here. I am guessing those two lovely young ladies are Harry Potter fans. If so, we have him coming to our IMAX theater, probalby in September.
Oh my gosh, that looks like so much fun!
:)
So cute! I love that place! P.S. It would be helpful for you to know the correct spelling of Mad's name. It's French: Madeleine. An extra "e" in there. It took me a while and I thought it was weird at first, but it grows on ya! She's the cutest!
Looks like you are having fun with your new life adventure! I'm happy for ya!
That frog is pretty cool! Looks fake!
Oh shoot! I was going to check the spelling of her name before I posted this cause I thought I had it wrong...opps! Thanks for correcting me Steph!
Michelle, you look gorgeous!! I love this new adventure you are on!
