Count the Popsicles

Finn needs a lot of fluids in his system to keep himself, ah, regular, so we push a lot of milk, water, and juice at him. We also have popsicles, which he doesn't get very often. Except for one night last week. They're basically frozen juice, right? Right? He managed to eat through a brain freeze and goose bumps which eventually turned to shivers. Then we threw him into a hot bath.

He has shown no ill effects, and hasn't had another popsicle since.

We all went up to the California Academy of Sciences last weekend because Finn was talking about aquariums. (I think that was the reason. Who needs a reason?) Finn has long been a huge aquarium fan, as we detailed previously here and here.

Finn had a great time, as always, and got to stand next to a model of the world's largest ever land mammal, Indricotherium. Sadly, now extinct. I could walk right underneath it. Finn wasn't so excited to see the T-Rex skeleton up close, though. "No wanna see the fingers!!!"

Graham enjoyed the aquarium as well, but it didn't seem to hold his attention in quite the same way as it did for Finn, when he was of a similar age. To each their own. ;) I'm sure we'll go again soon.
