Easter Fun

Will had the day off of school on Friday so we decided to play. I actually overheard him a few days before telling his sisters that we were going to the zoo on Friday. This boy makes plans! But instead of braving the warmer weather, we tried out the new aquarium at Arizona Mills Mall. (I also had discounts...makes it even better!) So here are a few pics we got:

Mckenzie and Will inside a lookout inside the aquarium.


Will was nervous about the sharks, even before we went. So I was surprised when he was happy about this glass pane you walk on above the sharks!


I got the kids in front of this huge crab. You can't really tell in the picture, but they were huge! Japanese Spider Crabs


Here were some "tidal pools" where we got to hold starfish and touch other animals. I thought it was cool and the kids liked it too.


Mckenzie in front of the jellyfish.


Now for Easter stuff:

We did the traditional egg coloring. (We also had a traditional egg breaking...everyone accidentally broke an egg.)







We also had an Easter egg hunt at one grandparents' house...







and another Easter egg hunt at the other grandparents' house.




Happy Easter!

Our kids loved the aquarium too.
Katelyn keeps asking to go back.
(I hope another groupon comes out soon:)
