Much fun was had by all yesterday at the aquarium. Except, perhaps, for the moment in the 4D movie in which Nieceling #2 completely freaked out at being spritzed in the face, having air puffed at the back of her neck, electric fish with great big teeth flying straight at her, and me flailing beside her because I swear something smacked me on the

Mom and Dad have DirecTV and they love it. They haven't had a problem when it rains, but then again, SoCal does not equal lots of rain.

Good to know. My cable hasn't gone out in ages, so if the dish does go out in wind, that could be a little aggravating. At least finding a few books lying around is never a problem at my house. *g*
