Why put off for tomorrow what you can do today? Here's a look at our day, which ended up being way more fun than we planned for! I know I owe Maggie and Abby updates about the month of May (and now June) but let's just enjoy today!

But first, a peek at Tuesday. I was at work, and Chris decided to stop by "World Market" at the mall. They are closing the store, so who can resist a sale? They bought a fancy tea set, and then had a tea party before bed.
Tea/apple juice/milk/graham crackers - Fancy stuff!

This morning, I took Abby to ZOO SCHOOL! We just love Zoo school, have we mentioned it? probably. Today the theme was Carousel - but really at 2, most classes are a variation on counting, colors, and just having fun.


The teacher asked the children to walk "SLOWLY" to put their velcro pieces on her felt board. Abby took it very seriously.
She created a Tiger to "ride" and then got to go out into the zoo to ride on the real Merry-go-round. She loved it, and so did I!
After coming home for lunch and naps, we decided to check out the "Member's Night" at Discovery World. We stopped for McDonald's on the way for a fast, crowd-pleasing car picnic and were one of the first families to arrive at the museum. We ended up staying for 2 hours and enjoyed a behind-the-scenes look at our favorite, the Aquarium! We were given a guided tour though the the kitchen, the holding tanks for quarantined fish, special tanks for growing coral, holding tanks for sick fish, and all the scuba gear for the divers who clean the tanks and feed the fish.


We then explored a few other areas of the museum, playing on the big boat, lifting with pulleys, and of course, starting the thunderstorm. Then we decided to watch their special Science show which featured "Fire and Ice" Who knew liquid nitrogen could be so fun! Or that boric acid makes fire a different color than magnesium?

We even snuck out on the private party deck for a great view and a quick picture.
All in all it was a perfect summer day!
