Aquarium

Monty's boss gave him a day off and passes to the Denver Aquarium as a reward for meeting all his goals for the year.  He did an awesome job actually blowing his goals out of the water.  He might not LOVE what he does, but he is good at it.  We decided to just take the kids out of school one day and go.  With the boys in two different districts they just don't have the same days off.  All our boys love nature, and love being taken out of school, so they were all smiles! 

I seriously think we have the best five boys in the world!

Not sure who taught Makai how to smile and look like his eyes are going to pop out of his head, but this is how he is smiling for pictures right now.  Can't fault the kid for being happy!

Maybe Kory taught him!:)

 

Kyle was so excited about this shark!

One of the highlights of the day was getting to feed crickets to the spitting fish.  These fish are pretty accurate and spit rather hard.  Of course, for a group of boys spitting fish would be a highlight.  They would spit water right at the cricket and out of your hand.  The funniest moment of the day was when Monty put his hand over the water thinking the fish could tell food from 'non-food' and they spit right on his hand.  Fast and HARD. At this moment I thought his eyes were going to pop out of his head!

If you know Tyler, you know this is totally his cup of tea!  He loves hands on things like this.  I was glad he had something to do as the rest of the time he looked kind of well...not so impressed!

Makai couldn't get enough of this fake Orangutan.  He kept wandering back to it.  You could tell he was trying to figure out if it was real, or fake.  He loved it.  The next day when I was asking him about the Orangutan I asked him if he knew what it was and he said, "Yeah, it's like a monkey thing."

 

 I think they are ready to go!
Thanks for a fun day Dad.  On the way home we stopped by and had dinner at Cinzetti's.  An Italian all you can eat place.  Lets just say...these boys can seriously EAT!
