Another day at the aquarium

Mercer was hyped up to go to the Maritime Aquarium in Norwalk, CT today. We've been there so many times that we decided to get a membership; now we probably won't go back until next year. Mercer practically ran through the whole thing but highlights always include the touch tank, sharks, and rays. Next time we'll be taking in some IMAX.

After lunch, Mercer said he wanted to go to the beach, so we stopped off at Rye Playland. The beach there was perfect for Mercer to frolic in. It was nice and shallow with few waves. Since Mom and Pop didn't have their suits, Mercer did all the swimming himself. He did such a great job that he was rewarded with a ring pop.
