Well, as I write this I am potty training Samuel!!!!....again. I hope it works this time! That would be the best Mother's Day gift ever. I am confining us to the house for the next 2-3 days and I have a few minutes to be on the internet since he is doing so well! He even went poo on the potty today. I had the bear go poo too, but he quickly recognized that it was a raisin and not poo. But he was still willing to flush it with his other poopy friends and say "goodbye" to the poo's.
Well, Saturady was a nice day. I decided not to work and to clean. Then all of us went to the local aquarium. On the way there Tyler wanted to picnic in a real park but couldn't remember where one was so we ended up on the hillside of east Sandy looking at expensive homes for sale and driving past horses and through "the mountains". Anyway, we finally made it to the aquarium and it was fun! It cost what it would to go twice to just get a membership for a year. So we decided to to do that and now we can go anytime for free and stay as long or as short as we need to.
I must admit, though, that it is a bit ghetto. We went to one in Seattle a few summers ago and that was a real aquarium, this is more like a glorified fish pet store combined with Cabella's (which are both free) bcse it has the local fish and information.
But it was still fun! Samuel LOVES sea creatures and was happy to reach the end where his wish came true...sharks. Though they are small they still have fins and big mouths so he was happy. His arms are still a little too short to reach the touch pool full of stingrays but he and Jocelyn liked to watch them anyway. It's a fun place to go and perhaps the best we have in Utah so go if you get the chance! And I was just grateful to spend time together as a family. I love those kinds of days.
Sounded like a wonderful day. I love that the weather is good so we can do those fun drives with the family.
ReplyDeleteI've always wondered about the aquarium. We'll have to check it out. Aren't they supposed to build a new one close to the gateway? Anyway sounds like fun! We should meet there sometime with the kids.
ReplyDeletearen't you so happy summer it here?! i'm glad you all had a chance to get out of the house and have some fun.
ReplyDeletegood luck on the potty training. i like going to the aquarium, we have a pass too.
ReplyDeleteSounds like fun to me! I think Boise is getting an aquarium in the semi-near future. Hopefully it will give us another option for getting out of the house.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with potty training, I haven't even begun to think about how to do it. Hopefully you'll master it this time around and give me all the pointers I need. Although, I've heard boys and girls are very different when it comes to toilet training. Either way, give me any info that's helpful. :)
Sounds like fun! And, good luck with potty training. I am crossing my fingers for you!
ReplyDeleteI thought the aquarium was a little over priced for what you get too, but it was fun to see the different marine life. Because it's so close to us, we've only been once. Good figure.
