Sharks!

Hi everyone -
Last week we went to the Downtown Aquarium in Denver and had a blast! I was fortunate enough to have a free pass so between the kids and I, the only thing we paid for was parking. We saw many fascinating animals such as fish, seahorses, jellyfish, ducks, river otters, snakes, frogs and sharks. One of the kids was so excited about the sharks - she was talking about them for days. In fact, the next day I took her to the grocery store (which is always very educational!) and I asked her what we would see at the store. She responded very quickly with, "Sharks!". I had a good laugh about that one:) At the end of the tour through the aquarium we got to touch some of the animals such as sea cucumbers, starfish, conch shells and sting rays. We used lots of hand sanitizer after that but it was definitely worth the experience.

The theme for last week really revolved around this field trip. We made some fish crafts, played "Memory" using my fish cards, and sang fish songs. What a fun week we had!

Thanks again for reading and have a good afternoon/evening!
