Saturday Trip

On Saturday Dave had to work the Air Show so the kids and I took a trip to the aquarium. We have a pass and have been a few times since the new one opened and Quinn loves it. It is about a 45 minute drive and I realized on the way down that I forgot the baby carrier and was just going to keep Leo in the stroller, no big deal. Then we got there and I got the double stroller out and realized I forgot the attachment for his car seat! So, he had to ride in the bottom seat where Quinn usually rides and she had to walk. It ended up working out, just looked a little strange. Quinn also wasn't really happy about "Weo" being in "her seat." 

Checking out her brick and looking at the Fish. 

Leo just hung out in his seat the whole time. He is so calm and just goes with whatever we are doing. Quinn loves looking at the fish and she is a fan of the big shark tank wall. She doesn't like to go through the shark tunnel so we hurry through that part and then stand at the big tank forever. 

The penguins are her absolute favorite. We could just sit at the penguin exhibit all day. She gets so excited when they swim by. 

We had so much fun at the aquarium, Quinn loved it and Leo enjoyed eating his fist. I can't believe how big she is getting and how much she knows/remembers. We looked at the "Nemo" tank several times and spent a lot of time at the aquarium finding fish, turtles, sharks and stingrays that are in "Nemo." She picked out a pink seahorse from the gift shop and carried it around the rest of the day. In case you did not know this, Quinn informed me that seahorses say "neigh", smart girl. 

On the way home we had to stop by City Creek Mall and pick up my bracelet from Tiffany's that was getting fixed. Quinn tripped on the way and skinned her knee. She was very upset (I think because there was a visual reminder that she was hurt rather than the actual pain) and was telling the security guard she had a "boo boo." He went and got her a Tiffany's blue candy cane and she put it on her boo-boo to make it feel better. She loved that candy cane. Dave is in big trouble if she already loves Tiffany's this early. 

This mall also has a Disney Store so we had to stop in and watch the movie screen and spin in front of the princess mirror. Quinn was spoiled that day and got some new Frozen silverware. 

Both kids refused to nap that day which made us all tired by time Dave got home from the show. It was a fun day and I am feeling very confident in my ability to take both kids out by myself for an enjoyable time. I had to finish the day with a quick Leo "selfie." 

Fish are good, life is good.
