I took photos of every page of the scrapbook I sent home with Peanut Butter, and here they are:

A small fraction of the books we read

Miscellaneous page: moving, seeing The Hobbit and Rise of the Guardians,
making beer at home, and playing tennis at the park

Beach Photos

We went down to the oceanfront (on a very cold day) and I got some photos:

The EMT station where Fiance volunteers, a few blocks from the water

What a mess... every winter, they have to pump sand (I think it's
from the ocean floor) to build up the beach again before tourist season.

Aquarium Photos

These are the other photos from the Aquarium:

Sleepy komodo dragon

Shark!

This shark has some Peanut Butter stuck in its teeth...

My favorite thing in the whole world: ray petting tank!!!

Peanut Butter befriends an urchin

That beige-y thing is a horseshoe crab!

A collection of teeth at the megalodon exhibit

A nautilus! A real, live nautilus! (I had never seen one in person before.)

Peanut Butter poses with a megalodon tooth found in his home state

The blob in the background is a sea turtle. Their viewing area
is really dark, so it's nearly impossible to get a good photo with them.

Loggerhead turtle exhibit

Jellyfish!

Blurry lobster photo

The Virginia Aquarium has a great program for rescuing, rehabilitating,
and reintroducing baby sea turtles to the wild. You can even "donate" one
(I believe it's $500) and name it, and be there when they release it.



Snow Photos

These are just a few extra photos from the snow:


I made Peanut Butter a wee little poncho (that was not terribly effective).

Making a snow angel!!!

Icicles

Peanut-Butter-sized snowman

Snow on the woodpile

Fiance tried to fashion a Peanut-Butter-sized snowball

We got a little covered, getting to the car after the library closed early for snow!
