Ditch Day

Last year my parents came into town only for a few days, which happened to be school days, so I took the kids out of school one day and we went downtown. We had so much fun, and I honestly think part of the fun for my kids was that they got to miss school. So I decided to make ditch day a tradition! From now on, once a year on a day I pick, we skip school and do something fun. This year we decided to hit the aquarium again like last year. 

I love the big tank right in the front; it might be my favorite part of the whole place.

They have all these amazing creations of ocean life made from garbage-bottles, caps, hangers, whatever. They were so cool!

These fish were as big as Jake's head and he loved it!

These jellyfish were so pretty. It's hard to see but they looked like they had pearls all over their top parts.

Gift shops are fun, even when you don't by anything!

We had such a great day. Can't wait for next year!
