The Aquarium

We took Aaron to a new aquarium and it was so much fun. I was so excited to take Aaron because he's noticed fish the few times we've been around them. And, for my own selfish reasons. 
The drive to the aquarium was a bit eventful. Sammy told me to turn the map off halfway there, then turn it back on when we got closer. Well, because of that we ended up going west instead of east. We were headed into the mountains when I turned on the map again and we had to turn around and backtrack. Then we missed our exit again because we were chatting and ignored the map. We did make it though! There were about twenty other families waiting in line though with strollers and kids running around.

I got to pet some iguanas
We brought the stroller into the aquarium but ended up carrying Aaron the whole time so he could see everything. Next time I'm not bringing it in, it was a nightmare to navigate around everyone else and their strollers. 

Aaron loved the fish. He stared at all of the bright ones and tried to grab them. 
There were wallabies to play with but there were no staff around to let us in. 
 This river monitor came right up to Aaron and was flicking it's blue tongue at him. 
Aaron loved the sting rays. This one kept coming up to us and followed us around the glass. Sammy and I both fed the stingrays which was a lot of fun. When they came up to Sammy with their mouths open, he panicked the first two times and threw the food and the stingrays didn't see them. I told him that nervous feeling he got when he saw their hungry mouths opening while coming for him was how I felt the entire day I breastfed ;)
 Sammy fed the otters and capybaras. 
Aaron was hungry about then so we sat on a bench next to them to feed him. He was so distracted by all the people walking around, and the birds squawking that he couldn't eat. I ended up holding a blanket over his face so that he could try and focus. He finally finished when he had the blanket. 
 We fed these fish lettuce and they fought over them. 
Even though it was crowded, we had a great time at the aquarium. Aaron was so well behaved, and then when we went out to lunch afterwards he played with his toes, then fell asleep in the restaurant. He slept so well that day after looking at everything. I can't wait to go again when he's a little older.

Say Yes?

Well. Today I went dress shopping. And it was a really fun experience! I went a few weeks ago, and that wasn't as fun. I almost fainted because everything was so tight! And I looked like a little girl playing dress up. This time though, I felt sophisticated, it was a much better experience, and I may have found THE dress. I know it's one of these ones, but at the store I thought I was going to get one dress. But as I got home and looked through the pictures again, I think another one will work better and is really THE one. I'm going to sit on it though.  I thought it'd be fun to put the pictures up here and let you all see! Tell me which dress is your favorite! If there's two pictures together, it's the front and back.  How was dress shopping for you?  I like the lace and buttons on this dress     Love the top and flowyness of this dress. Really love the neck, top, and ruching on this dress. Not sure about the train though. This...

Book of Mormon Musical?

Well, it's here in Denver. Kind of hard not to notice it with all the signs. The Book of Mormon Musical. I have very mixed feeling about this. I know that in the grand scheme of the universe, this musical shouldn't bother me so much. But it really, really does. The Book of Mormon is something very near and dear to my heart. And I know that people make fun of the LDS church on an hourly basis. I've heard all the jokes. Not a big deal. Plus, I'm blonde. I can take a joke. But this musical really disturbs me. I listened to the songs when they were released, thinking oh, I'm gonna be one of those cool people who fights for this play. But then I really started listening to the words. And they bothered me. A lot. Saying that missionaries who are out in the field make up things on the spot, like having sex with frogs will get rid of aids, it bugged me. I don't even want to talk about some of the other songs. I heard them and felt, just not right. I was comforted by t...

I'm not going to waste time talking about why I have a blog or how this is my first new blog post, because I like to have faith in the human race and the fact that they can read and can interpret these things on there own. I mean, there aren't any posts under this one so obviously this is my first new post. And having a blog is not a mandatory thing to live so one could hypothetically conclude that this is for fun. That is hypothetically speaking of course. I just used 89 words explaining why I didn't need to explain something. I hope I counted that right. Anyways.  Three years ago today on a rainy day I remember being in a basement with a bunch of little people and adults for a scout thing. And I remember them talking about how a certain friend of mine was going to be a senior and how that's so crazy. I was just going to be a freshman at the time and thought I was the coolest thing since duct tape. (Sorry sliced bread, duct tape is waay cooler.) Now that friend is get...
