Joslyn's Day at the Aquarium

Today was a great day.  We took Joslyn to the Denver Aquarium.  I especially enjoyed it because on the drive there and back Joslyn talked to me about the Harry Potter books.  She's been reading them, and is on book 5, "The Order of the Phoenix".  We had a special time talking about the parts we loved the most.

The Aquarium was exciting.  We always have a great time.  They loved the sharks, the otters, the spitting "archer" fish, and the flash flood area.  The liked the fish and birds in the beach area, and had a great time petting and feeding the rays.  Well, Isabelle was the only one who actually fed the rays, but Joslyn and James had a great time petting them

.  Joslyn tried her hand at climbing the tree.  She did a great job.  They all got "face" paintings on their arms.  We had a fun picnic out on the balcony, and it was a perfect day to watch all the other people as they toured the little rock garden below us.  We then played a little more, and went to the 4D theater.  They had a new show with Yogi Bear trying to get a picnic basket, and it was pretty jerky, but the kids LOVED it.

After the show we played in the rock garden park for awhile and ate more of our picnic.  The kids tried to do cart wheels, and spinning and racing, and dancing.  We had a great time.  Thanks for all the fun.
