There's a new baby walrus at the NY Aquarium. The papa walrus is a total ham, shoving his face against the glass and blowing bubbles for the viewers. This has enamored P with walruses in general and he was pretty psyched to see the baby and spend the afternoon at the beach.
We met his sweet buddy Yoav there and the boys explored the shark, sea horse and walrus exhibits with glee. P feels a trip to the zoo/aquarium isn't complete without a stop in the toy store for some junky safari themed car, so he surprised me this time with his choice of a walrus stuffed animal. Dubbed "Walrus," it has even inspired him to pull out his other stuffed animals for play parties today.
The sun was just warm enough to make splashing in the waves fun but not so hot that we burned. It was perfect. P Loves to run into the waves and then run back out, fake screaming, acting like they are chasing him. The boys enjoyed the simple pleasure of just digging in the sand with their toes. P also made a track for his cars and made sure sand filled every crevasse of our bag during his excavation project.
When the wind picked up and we had eaten enough sand we all headed back to the sub for short ride home. P was exhausted, but he wasn't going to give up easily, so we made Halloween decorations. Basically he just dripped glue, all of the glue, all over construction paper. Its still drying tonight, 24 hours later :) When he finally passed out, he was cradling his baby walrus.
