Aquarium Adventures

On Saturday it was snowing--again. And to be honest, I NEEDED to get out with the kids. We have been inside much of the week, packing and getting things done here and I think we all hit a breaking point. :) So after driving around for a while killing time while the kids slept, we stopped at a store I found the other day called Aquarium Adventures. It was SO COOL! Now call me cheap, but I was so excited that since it was a store, it was free to browse. :) The kids LOVED looking at all the fish--big ones, small ones, colored onces, albinos--they loved it! Row after row of fishtanks...

We will definitely do this again this winter!

Being around all these fish sparked my interest in possibly taking one of these critters home. But after the 20 minute shpeal about the upkeep and cost of saltwater fish (namely Nemo) and then another 10 minute discussion about the cons of a tiny little kiddie fish tank, and I decided that fish are just not for us right now. :) We will just keep going back to visit--and next time I won't ask about buying one. :)

Our next stop was a mattress store. We checked out all the beds, futons, and bed frames, and the kids got red balloons. :) I was glad we were the only people in the store and the employee let the kids be kids.

It felt so good to be out again. I really can't wait until we are settled and can get back in the swing of things...
