"Raw Cat" Report

The "raw-cats"(that's rockettes if you're recently tuning in) were GREAT! In spite of the girlie nature of the show, both boys were enchanted and big kid even asked to borrow his dad's glasses (since he left his at home) to better see all those high kicks-which caused Mr B to raise his eyebrows and Honey (the grandmother) to chuckle. Looks like big kid is paying attention to all those skirts and legs. And I loved it all. You kinda feel like a fool for smiling so much-but it really was entertaining and heart warming and impressive. Worth the money-definately.

The unintended hi-lite of our Christmas day trip though was our lunch at the Aquarium restaurant (overpriced but worth the aquatic experience of dining with sharks). The boys really enjoyed walking around the circular tanks making discoveries and snapping pics (I will post a few of their favs). And the food was good...you never know at these places. But my only regret was that I waited so long to give in to lil brother's constant requests to pet the sting rays (another opportunity to hand your money over to strangers). So after 3 hrs of dodging and redirecting-I couldn't take it another minute-I marched him over and shelled out the bucks for him to completely soak his sweater and wipe shrimp-goo down the front of it (sigh). But he totally loved petting the "ex-a-rays" so actually it made me happy for getting to make his day.

Hope your family is enjoying some of your own excursions! Will post a few pics soon...
