Fun Filled

On Saturday we went to Birch Aquarium with some good friends of ours. We had free tickets from like 2 Christmas' ago from my sister and we just FINALLY remembered to use them. We only had to pay for Kasen once we got there so it wasn't too bad. The weather wasn't the best, but for the most part it was all inside. The tide pools and the shark "exhibit" were outside and we just waited til it stopped raining to go out and came back in when it started again.

I am definitely glad we didn't pay too much to go. It was fun, the company was fun, but the actual aquarium wasn't all that great.

While Jeremy went to park the car, he dropped Kasen and I off out front so we didn't have to walk. How sweet. Kasen and I took a picture of ourselves while we were waiting.

Kasen "explaining" what all the fish were to Jeremy. Notice the Peter Pan in his hand that he carried in his hand the WHOLE time we were there?

This is was the first tank we stopped at. Lots of fish that you can't see, but you can see how intrigued Kasen and Ethan were.

This is the cool octopus that kept crawling back and forth from one side of the window to the other, as if to show people how his little suction cups work. It was really fascinating actually.

This was Kasen and Jeremy looking over the balcony at the beautiful ocean view in La Jolla.

The beautiful view.....

I asked Kasen and Ethan to get together so that I could take a picture of them together. Kasen ran up to Ethan and put his arn around him and Ethan FREAKED out. He just wanted to stand next to him. It was pretty funny since ALL day Ethan was crowding Kasen shoulder to shoulder at the exhibits. Making Kasen SO mad cause he was hovering. He would go stand RIGHT next to him and put his shoulders up against Kasen's and just start pushing him. He couldn't and WOULDN'T stand a foot or even a few inches away. Just on top of Kasen. So it was a bit funny when Kasen wanted to put his arm around Ethan just for the picture and Ethan freaked out. Taste of his own medicine!

A couple family pictures overlooking the view....

The Horne Family and The Bruce Family

After we left we went to El Torito for lunch because kids eat Free on Saturdays. Perfect. Then we went to Deseret Book since we were about 1 minute away. While we were there I saw the little Book Of Mormon action figures and pulled this one off the shelf fully knowing that Kasen would be able to answer my question since he has learned about Moroni in FHE and in Primary.

I pulled it off the shelf and asked "Kasen who is this?" he replied..... "C3PO mom!"

I guess we need to have a few more FHE's about Angel Moroni and start watching a little less Star Wars. lol....

All in all we had a great day and we really enjoyed hanging out with the Horne's! Thanks guys!!
