Spring Break Begins

It is just the first day of Spring Break but I just love having all the kids home.  I am sure this will change as they grow but they all play and have so much fun together, it makes for some fast days.  We are loving the time change, or I should say, I am.  James has been sleeping in and not having to make lunches or be out the door by 7:45 was wonderful this morning.  We are doing a lot of cleaning and packing getting ready to head out to CO to visit my brother David and wife.  The kids are very excited and keep packing little bags of stuff....I don't know where they find all this little stuff but we sure have a lot of little junk around...or rather "treasures"  After cleaning and running errands we decided to have a little fun and headed off to the aquarium, with about half of Tulsa.  I kind of figured it would be busy but it was a feeding day and seeing as the kids are in School on Mondays we miss seeing most of the feedings.  Turned out James loves watching all the fish-he was enthralled with the shark tank.  He sure has endless energy, it is 9:30 and he is still chasing a ball around the living room.

Waiting for the Archer fish feeding,  Do you know how they catch their prey??

They spit a  little water out that makes their food fall into the water...usually crickets, today little krill stuck on the glass.  This was very fun to watch.

Finally,  we got to see the electric eel eat-the electricity was so loud it made James cry, the other kids thought it was pretty cool.

We didn't crowd into the shark tank for the shark feeding....way too many people, I think I might have lost it.  Instead we came through after the feeding and saw a ton of shark teeth.

James loved watching all the sharks swim overhead.

Becca always has such a goofy look on her face.  Her favorite thing in the touch tank.

We also were able to see the Beavers eat....they sure are fat!

Okay, I don't know how this happened but all three of us ended up in Hope gear tonight-Becca was a wonderful photographer.
