BioPark Outing

Daphne was slightly offended that I took the kids on an outing to the Aquarium and Botanical Gardens without her, but I reminded her that I used to take her and Dallin on little outings quite frequently when they were little.  And it's these guys' turn now.  We can't just sit at home waiting for the older kids to get home before we do anything fun.  We went with Julianne and her kids and a couple of her friends who were visiting from Idaho.

Yikes!  How did they get in THERE?  :)

An old fishing boat.

Ah, the days when gas was 25 cents a gallon!

Sydney just loved this fish tank.  

She would laugh and laugh when a big fish would swim by her.

I  liked how the light was filtering through the water. 

In the Child's Fantasy Garden--Lilly and Sean are having a great time, but Hayden seems slightly concerned sitting on that giant ANT, (which he thought was a spider.)

One of the boys' favorites is the train garden.  There are buttons they can press to activate Thomas the Tank Engine, or Percy (the green one, for those of you not up to snuff on your Thomas the Train characters,) and they just think that is such a treat!

Aren't they pretty? Poppies are such a cheerful flower.

Who can name this movie:
"Poppies... Poppies. Poppies will put them to sleep. Sleeeeep. Now they'll sleeeeep! "

I love that Sean and Hayden are friends.
They hopped up here on this bench together without any prompting from me.
Love it.
