Sea Life Aquarium

Happy Apple Preschool takes monthly field trips with the class. They usually get us discounted tickets and Emma has a great time hanging with friends from school AND Mom and Grant. How could life get any better?

Last Friday we went to the Sea Life Aquarium which opened last year at Arizona Mills. Greg and I took Emma when it opened and we had discount passes. She enjoyed it then, but now being a year older, I think she enjoyed the sea life MUCH more.

Here she is touching the star fish. This was BY FAR her favorite part. She never wanted to leave this exhibit.

With the sting rays...

And a HUGE, NASTY-NAST, GIVE YOU THE HEEBIE JEEBIES crab.

I wanted her to stand underneath because this thing was seriously twice her size. She was a little freaked out to stand with her back facing the monster... and I had to try and assure her that the glass would keep her safe (hoping the whole time that it actually would).

Oh and this little guy? Yep. Happy as a little clam the whole time. LOVED the fish and all things swimming and active.

I love this pic because it looks like he is trying to make his own "Krebs Eyes" - the famous squinty eyes that our family is known for.

All the preschool munchkins. Her teacher is always so great about taking group shots of all the kids together.

We are SOOOOOOOOOOOOO thrilled with her preschool experience this year. And these fun field trips are just icing on the cake.

I haven't been to AZ Mills mall in forever. But that aquarium looks fun. We'll have to check it out. Cute kids, btw. :)

Yeesh, I'm hoping that crab doesn't crawl through the glass, through my computer screen (Ring-style) and get me! Love Grant's Krebs eyes!

How fun! And I love Little Grant's big cheeser smile. I'm so excited to get to know him when you guys are out here!

That is seriously an awesome crab picture! The thing looks like it's about to take her head off. We made a quick jaunt through that room...those monsters were seriously creepy!

That crab looks like a giant SPIDER! (shivers). Emma is growing up to be one cute little lady. *you've gotta go to Wildlife World Zoo and Aquarium. It's SOOOO worth the drive!!!*

Tammy, your family is so beautiful. I can't believe how big Grant is!

I was wondering what your Laura wedding plans are. Will you be at the open house in Riverton? I will actually be in St. George on the
22nd but wondered if you or family will still be in the Salt Lake area on Sunday the 23rd? I really don't know what my Sunday plans are yet, mostly just 8 hours of driving home. I'd love to hear from you my email is mogomer@q.com.

love ya, Holly
