Fun/No Fun

No Fun: Poor Lily is really having a tough time with this whole evacuation thing. Between being out of her element, totally out of her normal routines, and not even able to spend much time outdoors because of the smoke in the air, she's been pretty mercurial. Mostly she's been having trouble getting good naps, which unfortunately translates into a fragile disposition overall. Poor baby.


Fun: In an attempt to make things nicer for her and get her some good quality out-of-the-house time, we went to the Long Beach Aquarium today. That was pretty cool!

"What dat, Ma Ma?"

"Why, that's the spiny crested diver fish, honey!"




Actually, the shows here are really neat. We got to see otters, sea lions, and in this video here you see a guy hand-feeding rays! Yowza!

And, as an added plus, we also found Nemo. We think. Somewhere in there, anyways...

We had such a good time we decided to go ahead and get a membership. See how happy Lily is? Of course, at the time that mostly had to do with the nice lady at the desk flirting with her, but she did like the fish too.

All in all, I'd say a 60-40 fun-no fun split for the day. Not too bad. (and mama just put her down to bed with relatively little drama)
