Pre-Game Festivities

We met up with our friends, the Swabs at the Newport Aquarium this morning for some penguin/shark action before the big game tonight. We arrived at 10am when they opened and at 10:15 was a “penguin parade” which consisted of 3 barricaded penguins in a wagon pulled in front of everyone - alrighty then. 

There was a dancing turtle named Tango who frightened Nora - rightfully so with those dark freaky eyes.

Going through was rather quick since Nora liked to race from window to window. I think she paused longest at the shark theater. She even stood on the ledge until a ray shark came belly up to her and that was too close for comfort for a 2-year old. Alligators and jellyfish later, we ate lunch at Tom + Chee [nom!] then headed home around 12:45pm… 

Of course Nora fell asleep halfway home… the transition to her crib was a complete fail so that was it for the rest of the day. When Nora doesn’t sleep, everyone is exhausted. 

Tim picked himself up some Superbowl wings and some spinach Rondos from LaRosa’s - big fan of the Rondos. Taco dip and some Cherry Garcia later… I’ll be a cozy caterpillar snuggling into bed. 

Long afternoon...
