Last year, I decided that for a gift I would give myself time with my kids. As we went to the zoo last year, I decided to take them to the Living Planet Aquarium. Sharadee took the day off as well and joined us and we had a lot of fun.
I love getting out with my family and we had a lot of fun looking at all the fish and animals. The last time we went they were in a remodeled supermarket, which they did great things with. Now, they have their own building that is, for lack of a better term, awesome. They have expanded and had a lot of cool areas including local fish and animals. There were some good activities including a 4D short movie. Roo didn't like getting sprayed in the face with water, but he was very curious about the giant moving pictures, even if they were out focus (he wouldn't wear the glasses). We had dinner at Firehouse Pizzeria and enjoyed a nice evening.

| Tigger liked the sea turtles more than the Caimans in this tank. He had a lot of fun running after his sister. |
 |
| "I've got my eye on you!" Kanga at the other side of the Caiman tank |
 |
| They both thought the shark tunnel and tank were pretty awesome, but I couldn't get a good picture of both of them. They kept screwing around. Dang kids!! |
 |
| Roo (living up to his pseudonym) waved at all the fish from Angels' front pack. He was fearless and adorable. |
 |
| What is not shown is that this megalodon jaws was sponsored by a dental office. I like the kids' faces in this one. |
 |
| Kanga had no problem with this. Tigger didn't think he would have a problem but then did. Not surprising. |
In addition taking the kids to the aquarium Angel also got me two gifts. She had been holding onto one of them for about six months apparently - an extended battery for my phone. The other was the complete America's Test Kitchen cookbook. I've already made cream cheese brownies and sugar cookies from it and found both really good.
For another year I am very happy to be a dad and I love me three children very much. It's exciting and terrifying to see them growing up.
They did some worksheets at church this year and they were as enjoyable as last year.
Kanga:
My Dad is _31_ years old. (plus or minus a year)
My dad is really strong, he can lift a _10 pound baby_. (Roo is getting bigger, so I might be able to life a 15 pound baby soon.)
My dad's favorite color is _red & yellow_ (although it looks like she wrote "red 8, yellow," like the dye).
My dad's favorite food is _lasagna _. (and she spelled it "lavonua." Wish I could say I spell it better.)
My dad always says, "_do you know I love you_", (She usually answers "yes")
My dad is the best at _everything_. (Shhhhhh. Don't tell her the truth.)
My dad's job is _answering questions_. (Yup, she know my job.)
My dad laughs when _my baby brother laughs_. (It's hard not to.)
If my dad had time, he would love to _eat a lot of lasagna_. (Can't say no to that.)
My dad and I like to _work in the garden_. (I don't know where that comes from.)
My dad really loves _my mom_. (NAILED IT!!!!!!)
I LOVE my dad because _he makes the best pizza_. (I make the crusts while they pick the toppings.)
Tigger:
My dad is _5_ years old. (Plus or minus 27 years.)
My dad is really strong, he could life a _house_. (I've been working out, but not Mr. Incredible style).
My dad's favorite color is _red_. (Yup).
My dad's favorite food is _everything_. (or at least almost everything.)
My dad always says "_Boo!_" (I think you're projecting, little boy.)
My dad is the best at _ making everything in his cookbook_ (the one that I got as a gift.)
My dad's job is _to fix things_. (Sometimes I fix things for people, but not in the way he may be thinking.)
My dad laughs when _he says "Boo!"_. (Only when it works.)
If my dad had time, he would love to _play some cars with me_. (That would be really nice, Tigger).
My dad and I like to _play cars_. (I didn't know we did it that often, but I apparently need to do it more).
My dad really loves _cars_. (Okay, Tigger. I get the message. We'll play more cars.)
I love my dad because _he putted my hinges on_. (I took his door off the hinges because he slammed it so much. That morning I had put it back on for him. For the record, he hasn't slammed it again.)
It's fun to see me through my kid's eyes. I'm not sure I want to see what they say in ten years.
