Water, Water All around!

Last weekend we took Ethan on his first trip to the aquarium with our friends, The Reeds.  We opted to stay a little closer to town and go the Sealife Aquarium in Grapevine.  Man was it busy.  Ethan had a great time anyway.  While he enjoyed looking at the fish, I think it was the colors and the water that intrigued him the most.  Anytime there was on open tank, his hand went straight for it.  Ethan and Robert had lots of fun putting themselves on display in these tanks.

Ready to see some fish!

Let's play in the tank!

Please let me touch the water

After looking at tons and tons of fish we got a little bit of playtime in.  Ethan and Abigail had just as much fun climbing up the slide and sliding down. 

This past weekend we took advantage of the sunny days and headed out to the lake with Grandma and Grandpa.  We have been a few times this summer, but this is the first time we have taken our little fish out on the boat.  He was very quiet when we put his lift vest on.  But, it didn't take long for him to get a little more comfortable once that wind was blowing in his face.  He really enjoyed the ride, especially once Grandpa took over and let him take the wheel. 

Maybe this will be fun

I am still not sure

Time to relax!

We rode out to a little beach area that we could park the boat and cool off a little in the water.  It was perfect for a little one.  The water was no more than 2-3 feet deep.  Ethan was able to move around the beach area and splash to his heart's content.  Since he isn't walking yet, even though we get a little closer everyday, he crawled through the water as far as he could to try to keep up with Dad.  His excitement in the water got me really excited for our upcoming trip to Florida. 

Please let me take this jacket off!

Splash time fun!

Going for a swim with Grandma

After an hour or so in the water we decided to head back to the house.  Someone was pretty worn out that he decided to take a pre-nap snooze on the ride back home.  Thank goodness he still slept the entire two hour drive back home!
