Orion went on a whale watching trip this weekend with his pal, Aidan (along with the mommies and daddies, of course). He was fascinated with the water. We think he will love swimming or water polo since he loves the water and he can kick and jump like no other 5-month old. Unlike mommy who got seasick, Orion was energetic and all smiles! The whale watching trip was overrated. We got to see some whales, but the boat ride back and forth was very long and grueling for 10 minutes of "whale" watching. The dophins were great and we saw a school of them passing by, which didn't make the trip a total disappointment. If it wasn't free, we would never put ourselves through that again. We can go to Sea World and see a killer whale jump and do tricks instead :)
Going backwards to Friday, Orion went to his first story time at Barnes&Noble bookstore. He was the youngest boy there, but was the best behaved. He was more interested and fascinated with other kids than listening to the story teller. At the end of story time, they ran a bubble machine and all the kids tried to pop the bubbles. That was Orion's favorite part too. He looked up at the bubbles and his eyes tracked them as they fell to the hands of little kids. We think we'll be taking him on a weekly basis from now on.
