Monday we went to Newport on the Levee with the intention of "Riding the Ducks" (amphibious boat tour). We heard from Nancy P (nursery teacher @ church) that now thru Oct they are offering reduced rates for tours at 10 am. I thought since many schools have started these would not be sold out but the 10am one Monday was so we bought tix's for Tuesday and went to the aquarium. We are aquarium members and it is in same location.
In the rain forest we saw this porcupine. This is an animal we can sign!
We still have not made it to a penguin encounter but we surely will this fall or winter.
It was a gorgeous day outside so we walked around the levee and on the Purple People Bridge.
Tuesday we took the "Ride the Ducks" tour. I did not get any pictures as A sat on my lap for this 45 minute tour. It was quite interesting and well worth the $10.
The boat enters the river at about 10 miles per hour. Only the people in the back get wet. These boats were built in 1943 towards the end of WWII. The owner of this tourist company sent 5 of these boats to NOLA after Katrina and they were able to help with many rescues.
Wednesday we took the bus to the Children's Museum at Union Terminal. I think the 30 min bus ride was as entertaining at the museum.
She looks pretty serious but this is typical look for a new experience. She lightened up on the ride home.
In the Water Works area what Audrey called "bubble".
Learning about semi-circles a shape one of her books describes.
She identified this flag without prompting.
Our bus for the ride home.
