Aquarium Field Trip

We wrapped up our last week on our animal unit in science that took up most of the semester with a trip to the aquarium. It was such a great day. It was also the first time for Valiant to see everything, and really, the first time Lovely went old enough to soak up the knowledge part.

It was also an amazing family day. We took my niece with us and it was so nice to be with her and Hubby too.  Lovely sketched, and read, and we learned so much together. It was neat to see Valiant look up to her big sister too. What a day!
