They soon arrive at the zoo/aquarium. Kevin carries Emily in a baby carrier on his back. Kirstie holds the hand of a very excited Patches. Tim and Jenika walks with their arms around each other's waist. With his other hand, Tim holds Henry's hand to keep him from wondering off.

Patches giggles and claps at every animal he sees. Kirstie couldn't help but smile at the happiness that shown on his face.

They sit down in a rest area after getting something cool to drink. Tim was also needing to rest his leg. He has just given Henry a drink and sets the cup down when a very pretty girl walks by. She looks at Henry as she passes and gives him a very flirty smile.

Henry watches her and then hangs his head. Tim smiles and leans closer to him.

"I saw that." Tim chuckles softly.

Henry bites his bottom lip and looks around at Tim. There was almost a smile on his face. His cheeks turns red as he leans into Tim.

"That's alright, Buddy. Who could blame her?" Tim whispers and kisses him on the forehead.

"Well, ya'll ready to get going again?" Kevin asks as he picks up their empty cups to throw into the trash.

Patches claps and nods vigorously.

"I figured you would." Kevin laughs.

After seeing all the animals in the zoo, they make their way to the large aquarium.

Tim rolls his eyes as he sees the excitement growing in his girlfriend's face.

"Ooooo." Patches says as they walk in. He was fascinated at all the creatures swimming around in the water.

He giggles at the dolphins and the penguins but is a little scared of the stingrays and sea turtles.

They walk up to an exhibit of jellyfish. The aquarium was lit with a black light, causing the jellyfish to glow beautifully.

Patches stares in awe at the beautiful creatures, floating around like angels. He leans over watching one of the larger ones, hitting his head on the thick glass.

BONG! The sound echoes throughout the room.

"Owww." Patches says, rubbing his forehead. He giggles looking around at Kirstie but had tears in his eyes. "Hut." (hurt)

"Bless your heart." Kirstie giggles, kissing him on the forehead.

Tim smiles until he notices some young teenagers, maybe 13 or 14, staring at Patches with smirks on their faces.

Their eyes meets Tim's. He raises a brow as he looks at the adolescents.

"Ya'll got a problem?" He ask them, with a very low bass voice.

"Uh, no sir." One says as they quickly turn and leave.

"I didn't think so." Tim mumbles.

"That bass voice comes in handy every now and then." Jenika giggles as she pinches him in the side.

They finally make their way over to the sharks' tank.

"Aren't they beautiful, Patches?" Jenika asks. She has always had a fascination with sharks.

"Naaaa." Patches says while shaking his head. He tightens his grip on Kirstie's hand as he stares in fear at the massive creatures. "Tee." He says, pointing to his own teeth.

A huge Great White swims slowly right in front of them. It's black eyes seem to look right at them.

"Ahaaa!" Patches screams suddenly causing Henry to jump, hiding his face in Tim's shoulder.

"Okay, I think it's time to go." Tim says as he looks around at Henry, who was clutching Tim's arm tightly. "Patches will probably have nightmares about this. Hell, I may even have one."

It had been a long tiring day, as they dragged themselves to the van.

"What do ya'll say stopping somewhere for some take out and just going home to relax." Kirstie says as she makes sure that Emily and Patches both were buckled in.

"Sounds good to me. I'm exhausted." Jenika says as she lays her head over on Tim's shoulder.

"I just want to relax on the patio with a nice cold beer." Tim says, laying his head over on Jenika's.

"Oh, that sounds good." Jenika agrees.

"That does sound good, only with a glass of ice tea." Kevin chuckles.

"Make mine a glass of wine." Kirstie smiles.

"Mmmm bea." (beer) Patches smiles and nods.

"Uh, I don't think so, Little One." Kirstie smiles and shakes her head as the others chuckles.

Patches pouts and lays his head over on Kirstie's shoulder.

"Kiddo, I think you may have to settle for a Mountain Dew like Henry." Tim smiles.

"Mmm Dew, Hen?" Patches ask as he looks around at Henry.

Henry gives a slight nod.

Tim smiles seeing Henry actually responded to Patches, instead of shying away.

"Mmm Dew." Little Bits nods at Kirstie.

"Mountain Dew it is." She smiles and kisses him on the forehead.

Patches claps and looks around at Henry. "Hen, mmm Dew." He grins pointing at himself. (meaning: Henry, I getting Mountain Dew)

Henry smiles slightly and leans into Jenika.

A quick stop to get something to eat, before heading back to the beach house just to relax.

After finishing their dinner, Tim goes out to start a fire in the fire pit. Kevin and Jenika get everyone something to drink while Kirstie puts Emily to bed. She grabs the baby monitor before joining everyone outside. 

"I'm exhausted." Tim says as he plops down on the couch, laying his crutches underneath. 

"It has been a long day." Jenika yawns as she cuddles into his side.

"Funny how you always need a rest once you get off of vacation." Kevin chuckles as he stares into the fire.

"You tired, Mouse?" Tim smiles as he gives Henry a sip of his Mountain Dew.

Henry gives a quick nod and yawns.

Patches takes his seat in Kirstie's lap, laying his head over on her shoulder.

She smiles and kisses him on the forehead.

"Did you have fun today, Angel?" She asks him.

He nods. "Mmm pun. K..Kit. Mmm tar." (pun- fun  tar- tired)
