Goofy's Birthday!!!!!!

It's not really his birthday yet. That's not until Monday. But Dippy leaves for Boy Scout camp on Sunday and we didn't want him to miss out on our birthday celebration. (We didn't think either Dippy OR Gooofy would be happy about that!) So we took the kids to the National Aquarium in Baltimore today. We've been talking about this for quite a while and everyone knew it was today. Goofy came in our room this morning at 5AM!! He knew. (Yesterday I bought him his cake and he was walking around saying 'My birthday' all night!!) We were trying to leave around 7:30 so that we could pick up Danny and Sara by 8 and get on the road. Guess where Goofy was at 7:30.


Yep. Sound asleep!!
And he wouldn't even look at Danny when we got out there! We stopped at a Sheetz for a breakfast snack and he was walking with his back towards Danny. Of course that meant he had to walk sideways since I was beside Danny and holding Goofy's hand! But he didn't care. I ended up having to carry him because he was tripping himself. But he made up inside Sheetz. Know why? Danny bought him peanut M&M's!! (He even let Danny pick him up several times at the Aquarium!)

This was one of his favorite things. He drug me over to it. He HAD to see it. There were several of these big tube things. They didn't even hold fish! Just bubbles!

Nemo and his Dad are in this tank. He refused to leave this window for the longest time. He kept saying Nemo. I finally had to get Rod, who had already moved on, to come back and help! (I didn't want to be the mean bully on his birthday!)

He liked this green snake. He kept pulling at the door and saying "Open". This could spell trouble for later years if he really was that happy about seeing a snake. (I'm hoping it was something else that caught his eye!) The answer will always be a very very very very very very loud NO if he happens to ask for one as a pet!!

This is not a dead fish. When I first saw it, from the angle we were at, it looked like a floater. I asked Rod and he gave me that look. You know, the 'did you really just ask that?' look.

The sharks were AWESOME!!!!!!! (They're my favorite from this aquarium) Goofy's favorite seemed to be the stingrays. He kept going back to those several times.

The goofball children.

Rod and Danny doing their thing. And Rod didn't smoke at all!! Danny does smoke and Rod's been smoking more because of being with him. BUT--Rod set July 1 as his stop smoking date and he has stuck to it!! YAY!!
