The rains have started in San Francisco so I think we will be relying heavily on our Academy of Sciences membership in the next few months. We visited the Academy this Friday with baby Floyd and all three boys had a great time. We spent a lot of time looking for Nemo and Dory and, Malcolm's favorite fish, the scuba. (Wyatt pronounces it "Scuva") Sadly, Malcolm was one very disappointed little boy after finding out there was no scuba in the tank this visit. Wyatt noticed immediately that the large shark was missing from the shark and stingray tank. Turns out, after tracking down a scientist to get an answer, he was moved to Mandalay Bay in Vegas because he wasn't doing well in the habitat at the Academy. Maybe we'll have to take a trip to Vegas to check on him - for Wyatt's sake, of course.
Every time we visit the Academy I wonder when I will have to explain prey vs. predator. Luckily, not this time as boys are still innocent about how the world really works. Upon looking at this exhibit Malcolm started cracking up and exclaimed, "Ha! She knocked her baby over!" I waited for a second to see if Wyatt knew better but instead he just started cracking up and pointed to the knocked over baby too. Of course this resulted in a mini "knock your baby over" wrestling match. Fun day!
