Living Aquarium

A few weeks back, Wade and I decided to take a quick trip down to Sandy to see the Living Aquarium with our good friends, the Tippets! The Wyatts were unable to come (sadness!) but we were able to catch up in a spur of the moment decision with Jen and the kids. Charlotte LOVES Kya and Brennon. She talks about them NON stop! I love it. They are so good to her and play with her and make her feel so wanted. So it was good to go and see her obsession of fish too. Seriously.


I love Jen's camera! Incredible pictures!!!

Blogger won't let me rearrange pictures in the post so this should go last but Brennon had a great time with all these fish! He's a cutie. And yep, that's the same shirt as Jack's! Great taste.

Eagerly waiting for Jen and the kids to arrive!!!

When I told Charlotte we were going to go down and see lots of fish, she HAD to bring her little fish net toy from the bathtub. She held onto it the whole drive down plus for a long time during our visit here. It was really cute and I loved how she understood what was going on. She really had the best time.

We were hungry and so decided to eat at the cafe inside the aquarium. We thought, yeah those are reasonable prices. Okay. So it's NOT. All you get is a sandwich. No chips, no drink! I have to say it was a good sandwich but not for that price. he he. Kya ordered a Peanut butter and Jam sandwich. Yeah, it was a crustable! Seriously folks!!! So, my advice? Don't eat at this cafe. Go somewhere else. You'll thank me later.

I love Jen's camera! Most of my photos turned out awful. So I'm glad she had her beauty with her.

Looking at the brochures before lunch. Deciding what to see first, I guess.

I LOVE this picture! Jack had the best time with Wade. Poor Wade. Chased him around and around and around. It was so cute though.

Interesting reading, I think...

I love these faces!!! Kya is SO adorable. You should hear her play with toys. Her imagination is incredible.


Yeah, Charlotte wouldn't touch the starfish. But loved looking at it.

We were able to see the stingrays and pet them as well. Well, I didn't touch one. I found it creepy yet worried I would die a death just like Steve Irwin, bless his heart. One came up out of the water so high, I screamed like a baby. It was pretty funny. But it scared Charlotte. She loved looking at them close but wouldn't touch them either. That's my girl.

After our visit at the Aquarium, we went down to Jen's house and hung out til her husband got off of work. Well, Wade went off to BYU to choose a BYU hoodie that was his Christmas present. I kid you not...he was gone for an hour and a half and would have been longer if it didn't shut at 6pm. But he came back with an awesome hoodie and I'm so glad he found one he really likes. So I was glad to have some girl time with Jen and the kids too. I wish we lived closer so we could hang out so much more. But anywho, we eventually went out to eat. We went to In 'n Out. Yeah. The fries were nasty and the burger was alright. I don't see all the hype about the burger. Seriously. Not trying to be rude. It's just a burger. But had to try it to see what it was like! Then we were on our way back to Logan. It was good to get away and have some fun together!

I have never been to that aquarium I will have to take my boys, it sounds like so much fun. Wade your comment is funny, that is an awfully long time for buying a hoodie. Jess I agree I don't see what the big deal is about in and out burger I thought it was mediocre at best!

We had such a great time with you guys!! I SO wish we lived closer! I'm ready to hang out again!! :D Anyways, I just wanted to thank you for posting that UG picture of me. I truly am NOT being sarcastic here. You have positively motivated me to get off my hind end and exercise better and eat less! I look like a flippin' cow! I keep coming back to that picture anytime I'm tempted! I do NOT wanna look like that anymore!! :D Thanks for the motivation Jess! You rock! haha
