Hakkeijima Sea Paradise

Monday was a holiday here(Respect for the Aged Day), so we decided to use our aquarium passes that 007's aunt sent us for my birthday before they expired this month. It was a lot of fun, and Edamame was running from one fish tank to another the whole time. He also kept waving his hands back and forth kind of like fins or water or something, it was pretty funny.

Here is a short picture synopsis of our day.

checking out the dolphin tanks, first thing of the day that we ran to!

yes, this is the dolphin tank too, they are above us.

Edamame feeding the fish, me making sure he doesn't fall in(and showing off for 007)

Edamame touching the sea stars, didn't care about that, he prefered to splash in the water!

After lunch, but before we headed to Costco for a nap and food we HAD to ride Thomas.  Considering that his Thomas toy is now Edamame's new alternate identity, it isn't surprising.

The end!  We had a lot of fun, slept surprisingly well in the car, and all of us enjoyed the day.  Edamame and I both dropped like logs that night, but it helped him start sleeping through the night by himself again.  Wow, having a bed to yourself instead of sharing it with a 2 year old is REALLY nice.  Maybe we will have to give him his own room soon.
