Aiden has had a fascination with sea life/creatures since he was young (and he is so old now at the age of 6) and has been asking for a long time to go to the Sydney Aquarium. A trip was planned and Gran, Grandfather, Aunty Peta and Zac came along as well.
Getting there is a story in itself. We all loaded into two cars to travel to Manly so we could catch the ferry to Circular Quay. Our day had bearly started and Chelsea had developed blisters on her heels (bad choice of shoes). Once at Circular Quay I found a Chemist to buy some bandaids. After some quick "medical" attention we were off walking to Darling Harbour. The walking was not such a good idea with a two year old that wanted to be carried and then walk and then carried, then walk ... get the idea! Chelsea and Aiden both had periods of being piggy backed as well. Anyway, we finally made it to the Aquarium.
We spent quite a few hours looking at all the sea life. The kids seemed to really enjoy themselves and loved seeing all the sea animals. Campbell was quite captivated at times and loved to get up close to the creatures in the under water tunnells.
The trip back was more eventful than the trip over. Campbell was so tired that he fell asleep on my shoulder so I had to carry him the entire walk back to catch the ferry - over a 30 minute walk. It was great!!! ... a dead weight on my shoulder.
It was a great day irrespective of all the piggy backing, carrying of kids, etc that we had to do.
