Otters, Penguins, and Fish! Oh, My!

Day Two:

Loveland Living Planet Aquarium.

Started out great.  It really did.

...And then, there was a (almost) three year old.  

Oh, Jonas....

"Haha, look of those fish!  They are so crazy!  These fish are funny, mama! I just love them!"

"Oh, those penguins are sweet little wobblers.  Precious."

"(sigh), Mom, fish.  More fish."

"I don't like these fish.  I DON'T LIKE THESE FISH!"

I DON'T LIKE THESE FISH!"

Luckily, Gracie, in her five (almost SIX!) year-old wisdom, mapped out a new course:

SUGAR from City Creek.

(....cuz that's how you effectively stop a meltdown...

...or at least that's how you exchange it for a much larger and later meltdown...)

J looks like he doesn't , but trust me:  we love us some Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory.

YUM!

Finished out the day with a new book (!), sunshine (!)

And serious chalking (!).

Day-Three:

 (It's a two-fer post.

Ya know, two blog posts for the price of one.  

Since it's so difficult to make a separate post and all...)

-We slept in 

(For. Real.  I've been completely spoiled for ever waking up past 8:00am again.  Except for on Monday.  And Tuesday.  And...)

-We spring-cleaned (kids LOVED that...)

-We went SWIMMING!

Scarfed some Crown Burger on the way home.

Yes, we only eat in the car.

Last day of spring break tomorrow.  

A little crafting and a little conference should wrap it up nicely.
