We've missed Erika and Rob since Memorial Day because she's been on a summer book tour for her book,
The Book of Speculation! (I read it- it's great! Buy it! Read it!) So we were excited when they suggested going to the aquarium together. We love the Long Island Aquarium.
Group selfie! Unhappy faces due to heat outside the Aquarium
We had a fun afternoon walking around the inside and outside of the aquarium, getting lunch, ice cream, and playing a little Pokemon Go.

Ice cream and shade
When we got home the kids made their own aquarium, stocked with kids instead of fish.
Miranda insisted the water table be inside the pool
James insisted on "swimming" laps around the water table
