"Patrick, check out this one!" I giggle, pressing my hand up to the glass like a little child.
"Oh my God, it looks so weird!" Patrick laughs, shaking his head as he stands behind me.
It's Thursday, August 7, about 5:30 in the evening.
Pat and I decided to make a visit to Shedd Aquarium this afternoon, and we are looking at a fish that is swimming in an extremely odd way.
It looks so disoriented, and it's actually quite hilarious.
Whenever Pat and I go out in public places together, our inner-child always comes out.
We fit in just like all the other kids between the ages of five and eleven.
"It's kind of cute though." I admit, shrugging.
"Ew, no way." Patrick says.
I roll my eyes.
"Oh Pat." I laugh.
We continue moving on, as we look at all the different fish tanks, millions of fish swimming around aimlessly.
I've always loved aquariums.
I love how humans get to look at something that thrives in our opposite element.
It's always intrigued me, to be honest.
Pat and I have had a pretty successful day.
We both slept in quite late, so we didn't actually get going until the late afternoon.
We shared a late lunch/early dinner before we came here, and have been here for about two hours now.
We've almost gone through all the exhibits, so we're on the last stretch before we head out.
"Oh my God, here are the sharks." Patrick laughs, running over to the shark tank.
He's such a little kid on the inside.
Sure enough, there are the sharks.
At least eight different types of sharks swim through the waters, mulling over anything in their site.
They are definitely at the top of the food chain.
"That one looks like Shawzy." Patrick says, pointing at one shark moving through the water.
I look at the shark, and immediately start laughing.
The funny thing is... I can honestly see how Patrick is seeing this.
"Oh my God... you're right!" I laugh, putting my hand over my mouth.
And this only starts a trend.
Right then, Pat starts naming all the sharks in the tank after his teammates.
Of course, he picks the most serious looking one to be Jonathan.
He then finds the most handsome, elegant looking shark and claims that that one looks like him.
"Yeah, you wish Pat." I wink.
He laughs, and winks back at me.
We continue looking at the sharks and other fish, when after about ten minutes, Patrick and I exit the exhibit portion of the aquarium, and end up in the main entrance again.
It's fairly quiet today, which is pretty nice.
"You all ready to head out?" He asks, adjusting his backwards flat brim hat.
