Between our Texas and Arizona trips, we were originally going to go back home to Indy for 72 hours; but once we found out that Daddy needed to go to NY for work, we decided to change our plane tickets to go to Utah instead (Gotta love Southwest!!). And we are so glad we did! There was a huge snowstorm and we would've never gotten out of Indiana on time--it would've been at least a day or two delay to Arizona. And with the Arizona trip only being 4 days--you get the idea, Grandma and Grandpa's was just meant to be. Daddy though, wasn't as fortunate and got stranded in NY for a few extra days...luckily, it does end happy in Arizona. Stay tuned.
Since my parents are in the middle of remodeling their home, it has become tradition to help them shop/make decisions whenever we visit. We went to a stone shop and they had this massive pond in the middle of it. It just so happened that Brycen had recently learned the word "fish" during his recent obsession with animals and was beyond excited to see this.
So they strategically placed a vending machine right by the pond so you can buy fish food to feed them. Pretty smart stone people. Have people pay to feed your fish. for you. Well, we fell for it--and Brycen gave them quite the buffet.....a few times. He would grab my wallet, put it under his arm, take my hand, and guide me to the machine whenever I said we were all done. The kind stone lady ended up giving us a cup full at no extra charge when I refused to let Brycen feed the fish for the 4th time (thanks to Grandpa giving them some nice business, I'm sure).
Brycen plays favorites. And LOVES Uncle Dallin. Dallin is one of the few that will carry him around and play with him all day, endlessly-ever since the beginning when Brycen was just a blob on the floor. Dallin even was so kind to skip school for the occasion and it was perfect...until...Brycen later paid for playing favorites and got Dallin's sickness.
With Dallin around, Brycen pushes Mommy away and makes Dallin change his diaper (how many males can claim that changed a diaper at 13 years old? Bryce's first diaper was in the hospital with Brycen), get him dressed, feed him, etc. Dallin was thrilled to say the least and had quite the impact on this little guy.
While the uncles attended school or took a much needed resting break (Dallin), we went to the aquarium with Aunt Katie.
I wasn't kidding about his recent obsession with animals. True love right there.
I think he was actually trying to get off...but what's the fun in that? ;)
He was in heaven, SO FUN to watch!
By the end, he had a fish dance he did with Katie and it was priceless.
Favorite picture.
You might want to grab your sunglasses. We hibernate all winter.
So disgusting! Sea creatures seriously creep me out and I'm glad I got a picture because I will never do this again.
