Regan's preschool class studied the ocean during January and went on a field trip to the aquarium. Since we were dealing with stomach flu, I promised her that we could go when we were healthy. Clint had a meeting downtown last Friday and was able to meet us there. Both kids were having a good time until we came to the desert section of the aquarium. They have a display to demonstrate what a flash flood in the desert is like, complete with thunder and lightening. Regan and Haden are both terrified of the dark and loud noises. Regan was screaming within seconds of the first thunder bolt. Haden lasted a little longer, but not much. It took a while for them to calm down.
Regan liked the seahorses, starfish, and jellyfish, but couldn't leave the tiger fast enough. Haden had fun being so close to all the fish.
Afterwards, we stopped at the restaurant for lunch. Haden was shoveling straight butter into his mouth-who needs bread? Both kids loved the huge brownie. It was delicious! It was fun to be able to spend the morning together before Clint had to go back to work.
