A day at the Aquarium

Well, since I've been silent for so long I thought I might try something different and actually post something! I've kind of taken a break from this during the winter and need to get back into the swing of things so here goes . . .

Last weekend it was SPRING BREAK! Wahoo! at least for the kids. I had one of those rare moments where I was actually able to take off work so I snuck away for a day and we decided to go to the aquarium. You see, Taylor had a visit from the people who had come from the aquarium and did a demonstration at their school. Since then she has been bugging me to go.

However, our first stop was at Chuckie Cheese. Yes, that's right. They received a double treat that day and I got my fill of screaming, ticket-starved kids. We made our stop there for lunch and to win some prizes so that we could wait for the Grandparents to come and join us.

In Salt Lake the aquarium here is called "The Living Planet Aquarium". They just opened a new rainforest exhibit of South America.  It's always fun to go to the aquarium.  I was a little nervous at first because we already tried to go by there once and the line was out the door.  I could just imagine that the line would be soooo much longer because of Spring Break and parents just wondering what to do with their kids for a week!

However, when we arrived we were pretty lucky in that the line was actually pretty small.  We got in right away.

We all had a really good time.  We were able to see a many different kinds of sea life, touch some stingrays, lick some poisonous frogs (just kidding) and touch some different coral/plant life.

We'll be sure to visit again!
