This Week

To start off the week we went to, The Living Planet Aquarium. It was awesome! It cost an adult $8 to get in one time or you can buy a one year pass and go as many times as you would like for $16. Definitely worth it. They had an octopus there that I tried to take a picture of but because their eyes are so sensitive to light you can't use your flash. So none of my pictures turned out from that. But here are some other fun ones.
This is an electric eel. The pinkish part is his face. On the tank there was a sensor that measured the amount of current that the eel was putting off. It was really cool. While we were standing there the sensor jumped up to say he was in hunting mode.
These are Piranhas. I didn't know they were so big.
They let you touch the Sting Rays. It scared me so bad but I finally managed to touch him. He was gushy.
Conner was so fascinated by this. It was a giant bubble that magnified everything that was in the tank. It had a very bright light inside and Conner was throwing himself to get to it.
These two pictures are of different kinds of jellyfish. I don't know why sea creatures freak me out.
We borrowed this walker from my sister-in-law. Conner walks over to the sliding glass door when he sees Copper sitting on the other side.

On Thursday Steve and I went to Ashley Beck's (Christofferson) house for a BBQ with all my girlfriends from high school and their husbands. It's always fun to get together.
Friday night I had a girls night with Hope and Ashley. Yummy food and foot spas. I did make a new recipe for the girls night. I made white chocolate raspberry cream cheese frosting on homemade chocolate cupcakes. Good times!
Saturday started off with Steve's work party up at Deer Creek. They rented a couple wave runners and provided lunch. I took Steve and me out on the lake. The water was really rough and I am not use to driving those. My throat hurt by the time we got off from screaming and Steve's stomach hurt from laughing so hard at me.
Saturday night our stake put on a Harvest Festival. I signed up to bring a soup and when I showed up I started laughing. I have NEVER seen so many crockpots at one time in my life. They also had face painting, a live band, gunny sack races, and blow up toys.
To end our night. Conner and Steve sleeping.
