North Carolina Aquarium

We had a great time at the North Carolina Aquarium.  We haven't been to an aquarium since last summer in New Orleans.  The kids were really interested in all of the exhibits and actually lingered looking at the animals rather than just rushing through super fast.  Maeve liked being carried by Nana and talking to her about all the animals and Kent really liked touching the Sea Stars and Sea Urchins.

Cutie!

Lukey was a little bashful around me the first few days.  He would always do this when I smiled at him.  He warmed up to me by the end of the week though.

Anna reminds me a lot of Maeve.  She seems pretty easy natured but she gets a worried expresion when big brother gets too close.

Me and the kids on a piece of driftwood. Maeve was starting to cry because she thought it was "too stinky".  It did sort of smell like fish.
