Last weekend we went to the South Florida Museum in Bradenton. It is a history museum with a planetarium and a manatee rehabilitation aquarium.
The aquarium has a permanent resident manatee named Snooty. Snooty is 60 years old and is the only manatee ever born in captivity. Snooty has other manatees that room with him temporarily while in rehab before being released into the wild. When we saw Snooty, he had two roomies - two females who are being fattened back up for release.
We got to see a feeding of the manatees. They eat lots and lots of lettuce. Snooty used to get fruit as well but is currently on a diet and only gets strawberries and pineapple on his birthday.

We also saw a planetarium show. Austin fell asleep and slept through most of the show. (I think Daddy fell asleep too near the end, but he won't admit to it!)Nathan and Austin in the planetarium
The following pictures are of Austin in his Jumperoo. The Jumperoo was a gift from our pet sitter, Ginger. (We love Ginger!!)
The Jumperoo is a seat suspended from elastic cords that baby can sit in and bounce up and down. Austin's feet are just now able to touch the floor on the lowest level,
so he doesn't do much bouncing yet, but he is very interested in the toys surrounding the seat. The seat also swivels 360 degrees so that he can access all the toys around him. Hamming for the camera.....Austin is not always cooperative when it comes to the camera. These days he does something really cute and then when the camera comes out, he becomes instantly serious.
Sometimes we get lucky though. Daddy managed to get this big, cheesy grin and we just love it!
