Parents enjoying themselves? Not on my watch!

While we were in Maui at the end of January, we were very excited to sign up for a dive in the shark tank at the Maui Ocean Center. This dive (my first in three years!) was only possible because our friends the Jacobs were willing to watch Jory while KC and I were in the tank.

We knew Jory was going to be mad ... but BOY was he mad!

Things started out well enough. Here's Jory with Auntie Virginia - notice Jory's shark duds! Incidentally, these are the same shark clothes that Jory wore in Hawaii last year. If your kid doesn't grow, he can still fit into 3-6 month outfits when he's 16 months. Actually, that's not true - he still can't wear the pants because they fall right off him! Anyway, things were fine at first:


Then things started to degenerate. Here's my first view from inside the tank - and this is the photo that Facebook chose as the album cover for our photos:


 Jory calmed down a bit, but he was still not happy:


In the background you can see a little girl trying to console Jory (and that's an eagle ray butting on the picture at the left):


After a bit of food, Jory perked up enough for a few good shots from in the tank:




Despite Jory's extreme displeasure, KC and I had a really great dive. Thank you Auntie Virginia and Uncle Chris!
