So, since yesterday was a holiday for those of us in the banking world, we decided that, since the kids didn't have school, we would find a new adventure. So a couple of days ago we told them we would go to the aquarium in Seattle. They were very excited and Mario kept asking, "are we going to the Macquarium tomorrow?" Apparently it is an Irish aquarium... So the night before, as Nicholle and I were getting ready for bed, all of a sudden we here Mario crying. Assuming he had a bad dream, I asked what was wrong, and he all of a sudden decided he didn't want to go, because he was afraid of being eaten by the sharks. We solved that problem, and so yesterday we took off. As they entered and explored, there was no containing the enthusiasm. I only wish I still had that sense of wonder and excitement! It was fun living vicariously through them however, and other than a couple of timeouts due to overstimulation, we had a great day!!! They didn't even get eaten by the sharks! The higlight however was the touch tanks and the fact that we were looking in the underwater dome when the scuba divers came to feed the fish and sharks! Awesome! Maybe we can find some more adventures like this!

Ahem, MOST of us in the banking world had the day off.
I've never been to the aquarium, but it looks like you guys had a great time. I love the Mario stories. The tooth fairy story was classic.
What a fun day! You have no idea the fun things you will get to experience vicariously through them!! It totally puts a whole different outlook on things. I am so glad that you get to experience it!!
