@burntchickennuggetfamily19 Today we started the morning off watching National Geographic and the ocean videos they had! We also read some books and learned that male seahorses carry the babies, until they’re ready to be born! The closet aquarium to us is in Virginia Beach or Maryland, so we took the kiddos to see the fishies at pets mart! It was so simple but they both had lots of fun seeing them, and bear was excited to see a breed of sharks there! We also saw kittens, birds, hamsters and Guinea pigs, snakes, spiders, and turtles! #targetclearance #target #targetsyle #baby #toddler #babygirl #toddleractivities #fish #fishtank #ocean #seaanimals #family #familytime #blog #blogger #mom #momlife
