A Fun Family Trip

We decided to take the kids to an Aquarium in Boise today. They  were so excited, and as far as I could tell they had a ball. At the Aquarium they were allowed to touch the fish, but not one of them would do it. Kael came close, but was  having more fun splashing the water than anything. Havyn would stick her hand in the water and quickly pull it out and laugh in excitement.  Kai was "scared" as always. I think he tells us he is scared as an excuse anymore. He is scared when he wants to rock-a-bye, he is scared if he is tired, he is scared if he has done something wrong, and the list goes on. He is  a silly boy! Koen just didn't have any desire to touch them, and I totally understand, I didn't either. Tyrell on the other hand was all for touching them. He said the sting ray felt cool, but I still really didn't have a desire to touch it. After seeing the fish the kids were able to get balloon fish that people were making for tips in the aquarium. Koen picked an Octopus, so naturally Kai wanted the same thing, but he wanted his to be orange not blue. Havyn just got a butterfly, and Kael got a little turtle. I bet you are all wondering how long these balloons lasted, and I can say Kai's was the first to go, about 5 min. after he got it. Koen's lasted the longest because he was really careful with it, and wouldn't let the little kids touch it. His made it until bedtime tonight, and then he popped it for fun.
