We had big plans to go to Golden Gate Park to see a fish exhibit at the Conservatory of Flowers. Before riding the train, we stopped at the mall for lunch and Janie fell asleep mid-chew. This kid is ridiculous. What was nice was that she slept through the whole train ride and woke up in time for the exhibit.
Too bad it was too humid and hot inside for us to stay longer. We did, however, enjoy this tank and Janie pointed out all the tiny snails.
She kept saying “I want to pick the flowers” while we were inside. In fear of her actually doing so and getting busted, we quickly went outside and I let her pick all the weedy white flowers that she wanted.
She was in flower heaven out there and Mama got to cool off.
It was also a very warm day in the city today so we went to the aquarium to cool off further.
Janie just loves looking at the fish guides and looking for them in the tanks. It’s like her Nemo Seek-and-Find book but in real life!

She was also brave enough touch the starfish AND the sea urchin today. She didn’t need any coaxing or convincing. Instead, she just walked up to the touch pool and went for it like a big girl.
Outside of the Academy, the ice cream truck was parked around the corner so we stood in line for some ice cream and popsicles. Janie was so patient and happily sat on the grass in the shade with her Nemo book.
She was even happier when the ice cream arrived.
Later that evening, we were all so exhausted from the hot, busy day and just sat around watching TV. Janie used Dada as a lounge chair as she snacked on cheese.
