"If you are going to have a passion, do it with all of your heart." ~Mama HenEvery one has something in particular they love. When I was a child I loved koala bears and dancing. Little Chick absolutely adores penguins! This passion of hers started about a year ago when my mom gave her the movie Happy Feet. It is her favorite movie! She also has the soundtrack and plays it in her CD player over and over while she makes her many stuffed penguins dance. It is the cutest thing to watch. Today we went to the Maritime Aquarium to see the penguins. We are members and love to go often. The penguins will only be there for one more month, so I thought it would be great to take Little Chick as often as we can. Little Chick's room has a penguin boarder that I created, she has many penguin books we read again and again and the movie to Happy Feet is her first request when I say she can pick out something special to watch. There is something so comforting in having a passion.
We love watching IMAX movies! Today we had the theater all to ourselves. VIP style! 
Aww I love watching their faces light up when they see a cool animal. I love Happy Feet! Hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving :)
ReplyDeleteShe looks very happy as she enjoys the animals!
ReplyDeleteI'm with Little Chick! I love penguins. One of the most fun times we've had was visiting the New England Aquarium in Boston and seeing the many penguins there. They are just the cutest things! So fun to see the pics of Little Chick enjoying her trip to the aquarium! :-)
ReplyDeleteWow, great pictures! Especially the last one! I love seeing their excitement and joy! Have a great week!

ReplyDeleteThat's wonderful that you allow her to discover passions, and things that interest her! She'll be so grateful to you in years to come!
First of all, great pictures. Second, how cute is Little Chick with her penguin obsession? I love it. My son doesn't have a favorite thing and I wish he did. Like you said, there is something comforting in having a passion!
ReplyDeleteHow Cool! I love aquariums. How awesome that your little one loves penguins my little man in currently into dinosaurs lol strange but so him.
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to make a trip out there - I hear such great things about that aquarium.
ReplyDeleteGreat pics as always!!
toooo cute!!
ReplyDeleteFunny - we just saw Happy Feet again last week. Love that movie!!! What a great outing for you and LC. She looks so happy to visit a favorite place.
ReplyDeleteI love opening your blog up! You and little Chick look like you have so much fun! I wish we had thins like this closer to where we live. :) Thanks for sharing your fun filled days!
ReplyDeleteI love seeing Little Chick's passion for penguins! And I love that you as her mom are furthering it in the activities you do together.
ReplyDeleteThe movie theater must have been fun to have all to yourselves!
Wonderful pictures! I especially love the last one!
ReplyDeleteHow awesome! She looks so happy to be there! I love Happy Feet as well great movie!

KLV loves penguins too! Very cute. Looks like a great day. Hope your Mom is feeling better or at least getting ready for surgery...
ReplyDeleteOh goodness - that sea turtle is bigger than her!
ReplyDeleteHow adorable! I love penguins too; although, I think Little Chick has a bigger passion than mine. What a great trip idea for the two of you, and wow, you got the IMAX all to yourselves. How fun!
ReplyDeleteSo Sweet. My Camdyn has this same passion for elephants. Ever since she was 18 months old she's been obsessed with them. At 4 1/2 now, she's starting to love Dinos and Horses with the same passion. I wish I could channel a little bit of that passion sometimes :)
ReplyDeleteAh, penguins, I love those little tux-wearing animals! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the Maritime Aquarium. It is only about 40 mins from where I am in NY, so I go often. One of my favorite part is seeing the big turtle in that last photo. I love watching kids there because they always get so entranced by the huge turtle!
That last picture is very cool! Those giant tortoises are something else! My 6 yr old is obsessed with kitties! Little Chick looks like she is really having a ball. (:
ReplyDeleteMy daughter also LOVES penguins. In fact, I took her to see Santa today and she asked for a penguin. Santa's reply, "Penguins live in the South Pole." When you get tired of Happy Feet, my daughter also enjoys watching Surfs Up. It's about a surfing penguin. Old Navy and Target have penguin pjs. Crate and Barrel and Target also have penguin Christmas ornaments. For more penguin advice, you know where to find me.
ReplyDeleteLove the quote! Couldn't agree more. My little sister is obsessed with penguins too. She used to make me penguins out of her playdo. It was so cute.
ReplyDeleteAww thats so sweet. Do you own the book My Penquin Osbert?
