We went to the Aquarium, the girls walked in and looked at the tank, despite our calls to come back. Luckily Qiben came soon after and we all went in. The girls walked straight ahead, maybe wanting to explore everything. We called them back to look at each tank.
Ella sat on the ledge of the touch pool and directed me to touch things. And refused to touch for herself. She got close to the water and held back. I touched a fish, it didn't swim away. Xu guo qing reminded me the sign said no touching of fish.
It was fur seal feeding time and Qiben went ahead. By the bathroom there was a felt board. Mimi found an eel there and happily played with it, calling it "海蛇。" She liked it so much we stayed and played there for a while, then went to see the fur seal feeding, caught the last bit of it, the girls were very intrigued and confused when the seals ate fish.
The girls went to the jelly fish ring, tried to climb the circle, then slid down. Happily played with sliding for a while.
We went to the tank by the entrance for diving Santa. Santa was paid but elf was free. The girls stared and wouldn't go close. Qiben said there would be candy after high fiving. Ella went immediately and high fived the diving elf. She then asked for candy. There was someone nearby handing out chocolates, Ella got one. Mimi followed, high fived, got chocolate.
Qiben gave Evelyn and Jackie each a ziploc bag full of chex. Evelyn was very sweet and made sure the share with the girls. After a while, Ella started asking for 饼干。 She wouldn't accept goldfish or 圈圈。 I suspected she wanted Evelyn's chex, but pretended to not know, she didn't ask explicitly either. Xu guo qing heard Ella ask and asked if Ella wanted Evelyn's leftover chex that she handed over already, Ella jumped up and down said "要要要要". She obtained the bag of chex. I forced her to share some with Mimi. Ella snacked from the bag and protected it by her chest until she finished.
Our last stop was the surrounding fish tank. Mimi sat by me and asked about all the fish. Evelyn crawled on the couch behind me and fell asleep. We thought Ella was a little depressed and thought she would sleep. We started heading out. She sat down on the walk. Asked to take off her shoes. I informed her if she took off her shoes I would carry her. She happily agreed. After taking off the shoes she asked to take off the socks too. I carried her to the car. She happily babbled about people and dogs she saw. The girls fell asleep soon after we started driving.
When we left and passed an intersection, Ella asked "马拉车呢。" It really was the intersection where we saw ma la che back in April. I did recently show her the video because lao ye asked about it. But don't remember telling her where it was taken, definitely not which intersection.
For the Costco trip ba ba allowed the girls to sit in the main compartment of the cart. The girls were very happy there. After shopping I pushed Ella to the parking lot. She suddenly started crying, sounded very scared. I asked her what was the matter, she said "我要回车里我不要去这里。" I said we were going back to the car, and continued pushing her to the car. When we got to the car, she stared. I asked her if this was what she wanted. She said "为什么不停那里。" And pointed to the side of the lot closer to the Costco building that we usually park at. I informed her it was crowded today.
