I’m a sucker for Gwyneth. I’m a sucker for both my girls really. I asked Gwyneth if she wanted to ditch school and she said “NO!!!! It’s show and share day!”. She really wanted to take in her personalized lady bug. I’d like to say I’m happy to see her so happy to go to school, but I think she’s really driven by showing off her stuffed animals!
We dropped Gwyneth off at school and planned to meet some friends at the zoo. The weather did not appreciate our plan and it poured rain. I was ready to put my pj’s back on and call it a movie day, but Annabelle thought lunch with the mermaids was a much better idea. We have an aquarium membership so I agreed and given the crappy weather it wasn’t even that crowded.
We made our way quickly through the exhibits. It’s a pricey museum in Denver, but with the membership we definitely get our money’s worth. I’m a big fan and I’m pretty sure the mermaids keep my girls coming back again and again.
Nap time for the tigers:
All tatted up:
I packed our lunches, but I was coerced into having lunch in the restaurant where Annabelle had a front seat for the mermaid show. I also made the mistake of ordering soup and salad. My girls LOVE soup. Love it. Let’s just say I had salad for lunch and I’ll never waste any money on a kids meal for them again.
Annabelle told me completely unprompted in the car ride on the way home “You’re the best mom ever.” I took her to see mermaids so it was a pretty loaded comment, but I’ll take it. A mom will take what she can get!
