Thank God for a beautiful weekend. As we drove out to Marineland on Saturday, it looked like it was going to rain quite a bit, but it turned out to be a nice day for a stroll in a park. It was a bit hot and humid in the afternoon hours, but quite bearable. The annoying part was that our camera ran out of batteries :(, so I didn’t get any pictures at all. I used a friend’s camera to get some shots though, will probably ask for some of them from her.
The Beluga whales are quite interesting, they seem to play for photographs. Everytime someone calls out to them or tries to take pictures, they seem to strike some ‘poses’ for us, which was quite cute and interesting, and they make lots of funny ‘babylike’ noises too. There were a lot of Beluga’s as oppossed to 3 of the killer whales.
But it’s quite awe inspiring to look at these creatures up close and personal, especially through the underwater viewing area where you get to see the actual size pass by you right in front of your nose.
Overall, it was a fun activity; my son had a lot of fun, taking the chance to skip his naptime. But once we left at about 5, within a minute he was fast asleep in his car seat (record time! + miracle 
), and at night he just slept without waking up in the middle of the night at all. Maybe we should do this kind of trip every week just so he sleeps
