Matt and I made a goal this year to spend more one on one time with our kids. So once a month each of us will take one of the kids on a special outing.
Yesterday was my opportunity to take Nolan out and I decided to take him to the Aquarium down in Cincinnati. We have all been there before last spring right before Maris was born. It was very busy that day because they had a new shark exhibit. Normally they don't allow strollers but because I was very pregnant they made an exception. Matt had Parker in a backpack and I pushed Nolan in the stroller, Nicole is always good to stay right with us. After an hour we made it about half way through the Aquarium when Nolan took off. It was the worst possible place because it was a convergence of several areas and there was a huge line waiting for the new exhibit. We got staff involved and after about ten minutes we were able to locate him. Needless to say we decided to leave at that point.
Yesterday I decided to give Nolan another chance. It was the perfect day to go because it was snowing and cold so no one was there, we saw about five other families the whole time. The only problem was that I couldn't get Nolan to stop running. We made it through the entire Aquarium in twenty minutes plus about twenty minutes at the play area half way through. I thought that I didn't like looking at museums, boy does he have me beat. Regardless of the quick speed, we still had a good time. We stopped for dinner at Chick-fil-a and then headed home.
I look forward to more days out with the kids in the future.
