It’s little brother again! To continue the first birthday celebration, mom, dad, and big brother brought me to the Florida Aquarium. I love birds so mom and dad thought I’d get a kick out of the area where the birds are walking around.

An American crocodile:

Sitting with the mermaid we met:

We saw big fish, small fish, scary fish, and cute fish. There was more than just fish there though. Big brother wanted to see the octopus and big shark but that part of the aquarium was closed.

The rays were so funny! They would put a wing out of the water and splash. They got me, big brother, and mom’s camera wet!

When mom and dad visited FL together about nine or ten years ago, they took a picture of themselves at the aquarium in front of one of the tanks. This is our family now, with a water splash in the middle of the picture from the rays, in front of the same tank.

Me and dad:

After the aquarium, we went out for my birthday dinner and I got more cake! It came with ice cream too which was good until I decided to smash the ice cream making it splash ALL OVER the booth. That’s when mom took it away. The people eating near us thought it was funny though.

On the way home mom and dad let us stop by the park for a few minutes. We had fun on the swings and slides.

Spending the entire day enjoying family time was the best. We are so blessed to have one another! What a wonderful way to celebrate a birthday!
