Fun with the fishies

We got invited to go to the Living Planet Aquarium the first day in Utah with Chad’s family. The kids were so happy to go!

Grandma Lori came with us and I was glad I had an extra person to keep track of my little runners. I brought the “leashes” for Solvei and Nels so they could actually see something and not be stuck in the stroller (which a woman in the gift shop gave me lip about). They do pretty well at holding hands normally but are getting to the age where if you let go for one second, like to take a picture, they may just take off – in opposite directions. There was a time or two when Nels was dragging Grandma along because he’d take off – “Ooh! Something shiny!” – and she could barely keep up!

For Saedi and Gavin, I think they were just as excited to see Zach as they were to go to the Aquarium, but they had a lot of fun with the Ray tank. Nels loved the turtles. Solvei liked the big fruit eating piranhas.

I’m so glad we got to go, thanks for inviting us Chad and Leslie!

After the aquarium we had a picnic lunch at a park near there. I have been to that park a few times before but this is the first time I noticed the tree out front. The kids thought the “magical tree” was very cool. They all knocked on or tried to open the door.
