Make A Wish ~ Day 2

Let this be a warning...I love pictures so be prepared for A LOT of them! A story just isn't a story with pictures.

A cold front had just gone through Denver so we thought we would go to the zoo before it heated up again.  We got up and ready and headed to the zoo.  Lenn said "What about this cloud covering Denver"?  I said "let's go and see".  It was only minutes later that this downpour started.
We were stopped at a stop light and saw this waterfall down the stairs from a parking lot!  We quickly changed our minds and headed to the aquarium!



Bentley and Abby

The USS Landry's, a ship in the aquarium.



We ate lunch at the restaurant at the aquarium and this was dessert! YUMMY!  The restaurant is owned by Landry's..more to come about that.



The mermaids!  This was our second time through, we knew where the show happened so we got there and didn't move.  They waved at Abby and Owen, blew kisses and then made a little heart.

I had to make Bentley get his picture.  He claimed he wasn't too impressed with the mermaids!

Yes, they are different mermaids than above.  I couldn't convince Lenn to get Owen's picture with them because of the crowd but on our second time through we were standing there as they came up to get pictures so Owen was first in line with the mermaids that were blowing him kisses.

She was waving at Owen.

Bentley and Abby in the rain forest.

Abby climbing the coconut tree.  She shimmied right up to the top!

We all got paint on tattoos, we had a free face painting with our tickets so we used them.
Bentley and Lenn got Rockies, we picked out Nemo for Owen because he loves the bright colors, Abby got a dolphin and I got a dragonfly.

There were stables and horse rides where we stayed.  We knew Abby would love to ride a horse.  After the aquarium we headed to the stables and surprised her with a horse ride.  Bentley said he didn't care to go but I wasn't letting Abby go alone on a horse ride with a stranger!! 

Owen's aquarium souvenirs.

Abby with her souvenirs!  Abby will not be given a credit card anytime soon!  She was so excited to spend her money she couldn't pick just one thing!

Bentley did a great job too.  They wanted to race but there was boy with Abby that was struggling a bit and took a few tries and then gave up.  (Sorry these are out of order.  I haven't quite figured out the new blog thing.)





Lenn and the kids' tattoos.





Bentley and his shark from the aquarium.  They were so excited to pick something out and pay for it without asking.

 We had a great time at the aquarium, everyone loved it.  Owen loved the sharks.  There was also a 4D Yogi Bear ride that was really fun.  Bentley, Abby and I rode it while Lenn stayed in the RV with Owen.  It was still raining so hard we didn't want to get Owen out yet and it had moving seats and Lenn was afraid he would be sick for the day!

I cannot say thanks enough so THANK YOU!
