Steve has been cooking my eggs this week. I thought I'd better take a quick picture to mark the occasion, since this was our last meal together. |

He paused for 1 second so I could take a picture. My camera was almost quick enough. |

Ben has been sleeping at Jeff's with all the cousins, but last night he stayed here. When he realized Steve was leaving, he tackled him. |

Ben is a frequent visitor to this aquarium and he knew all the fun places. He enjoys saving the turtles. |

Richie did not realize the turtles were inanimate, and he was concerned about approaching them. |

With lots of light at this particular exhibit, my camera was fine. However, my pictures of the manta rays were unusable. |

My cell phone was in fine form. |

Check out this jelly fish! I love jelly fish, and at every aquarium I stand by the tanks and try to get one good picture. I took six photos with my cell phone today and every one was perfect. |

My sneaky trick with my regular camera is to use the sport setting, take pictures as the fish swim by and hope for the best. Not today -- one picture, and it was perfectly in focus. |

I was so pleased with this picture of Richie. I have loved seeing him this week. He's learned how to talk since the last time I saw him. In fact, I would say he's had a vocabulary explosion. |

Bradley is a great help to his dad when it comes to little brothers. |

All of us enjoyed strolling through the exhibits. This was a fun adventure for us. |

Again, real, not plastic. |

I thought it would be fun to have Richie and Ben inside this pop-up with Bradley. Ha. No way did that work out. |

Richie was not interested in touching. |

We learned today that 40% of sharks lay eggs. Sammie is holding a shark egg shell. |

To complete a perfect day, Papa joined Ben and me in several rounds of Go Fish! We tied the first game. Papa squeaked in a win for the second. This has been a happy Thanksgiving week! |
