Today we spent the day with Gadiel, Abby and their mom Jenny at the Sea Life Aquarium. The aquarium was built about a year ago in the Tempe Arizona Mills mall. To say that it was crowded was a total understatement, probably because it was the first day of the so-called "fall break".
I had never heard of "fall break" until just recently. I don't even know what the purpose would be.... other than to give the teachers more time off. So, I gave myself the day off to spend with Jazzy and our friends, but not too sure what Jazzy is going to do the rest of the week when I am working. She knows she is not allowed to talk to me or make any noise when I am on the phone... and that usually works out.
So, we saw lots of stingrays, sharks, big fish, little fish, star fish, you name it. Jasmine would only stick her hand in the water, but wouldn't touch the starfish. I remember dissecting those things in high school... yuk!
After the aquarium, we went to Rainforest Cafe.. where it was "raining" and "thundering", with lots of loud animal sounds. Conversation was not an option there. We then walked around the mall.... ugh... I am not a mall person, and we rode the carousel. The day was fun and exhausting:)
