An Underwater Marvel

We began our Saturday early by arriving at Corey & AJ & Cooper's, or "Cooper's House", as he refers to it, by 7:30am.  Corey got us all tickets to the Baltimore Aquarium and we wanted to get up there when it opened at 9am, as Fridays & Saturdays in July & August are considered RED days, not because of the sweltering heat, but because of the massive crowds of tourists that descend upon the Inner Harbor & the Aquarium.  Did we tell Bob any of this?  Heck no!!!!  We never would have heard the end of it all the way to Baltimore.  So, we just let him think we were all excited to get up there when it opened because there was so much to see.  Which isn't untrue - the Baltimore Aquarium is huge and has shows and 4D movies, as well as all the exhibits and hands on activities for the kids (little and big alike!).  Our fears of a Code Red turned out to be foundless, as the crowds did not materialize in a horrible fashion until the afternoon, and by 1:30pm we had finished with the 4D Planet Earth Movie and were ready for lunch.  Cooper had a blast looking at the turtles and sharks and watching the dolphin show!  So much so, that Grammy & Cooper now have a new "shark game" as he calls it, where Grammy chases after Cooper humming the "Jaws" music, and if she catches him before he gets to Poppy and "home base", her shark teeth (hand, that is) get to bite his butt!

The Ezersky Men in the Rain Forest!



The Ezersky men must all have different interests, as not one of them is looking at the same place during the dolphin show!




Now we know how the Biblical Jonah felt!!!!




The day would not be complete without a bedtime story after Cooper's bath!
