Jaden goes to CAS with his grandparents

We got to take Jaden to the California Academy of Sciences on Thursday. We had a great time.

Jaden loves this place ... his parents take him here all the time.

Once we got to the Academy, we went to see the fish in the aquarium. Jaden loves the fish. He likes to just sit and play near the "floor-to-ceiling" tanks and watch the fish. He also likes climbing up and down the stairs just in front of the tank. In the other parts of the aquarium, he likes the tanks that are on the "lower-viewing" level -- just right for him.

We looked around the aquarium for about one hour, then headed to the "Toddler Area". This is a great play area for kids 0-5. It gets pretty crowded there - the first time we went, there was a sign saying the play area was full and please come back. The second time, WE GOT IN!!!! There are tons of activities in there for the little guys. Jaden had fun playing with the chicken in the chicken coop with her eggs and playing in the garden where the potatoes grow. I don't think there is an area in that place that he DOESN'T like. We played here for about an hour, then realized he should have eaten lunch one hour ago (oopsie).

The only negative to the trip (which really wasn't a negative - Jaden probably thought it was great) is that I forgot to check Jaden's food bag before leaving (his mom usually packs this thing). All he had in his food bag was applesauce, apple snacks, green bean snacks, and the ever-popular Trader Joe's O's. There you go ... a good nutritious lunch.

After eating lunch we headed back to Jaden's because it was WAY PAST HIS NAP TIME. The schedule is always messed up when Goong-Goong comes along.

We had a good time and we look forward to going other places with Jaden.

I know it has been a long time since blog entries. I will try to "retro blog" (as the kids call it) and fill in the blank area.
