I'm a Piranha, I'm from the Amazon!

I know you all know what movie that is from! If not, shame! OMSI has a new exhibit on the Amazon and it is pretty neat. They have live pirahna's and a small sting ray on display, there is a life size anaconda replica that you can try to pick up-it's heavy, there is dress-up things and a dance stage where you can dance like the Amazonians, and much more. It was really fun, the kids really enjoyed it. Topher, (who is 11 months old today-did time fly, or is it just me?), his favorite part was the dancing, he was groovin! Bekah loved that too, but mostly she just couldn't wait to get upstairs and play in the sandbox! So after not too long of playing in the Amazon we went upstairs to the Science Playground. I know I have mentioned this before-but I love it! It's only for little kids and so there are no big kids being crazy. There is a ton to do too-we still haven't seen it all. Bekah spent the majority of the time in the sand box and Topher spent the majority of the time in the infant area with the balls. It was a fun afternoon, and we ended the day by going to Newport Bay restaraunt. We hadn't been there before, so we thought we would give it a try, we're glad we did. It was really yummy-the seafood was Oregon seafood and fresh, and the service was really great. Of course Christopher might have helped that-he flirted shamelessly with our waitress and every other woman who worked there, so our table got lots of attention from the staff. I'm not sure that they loved him so much after we left though-he left a mess any pig would be proud of!
