Spring Break

At BYU we don't officially have a spring break. This is the first year I have been okay with not having one because I realized that we get out earlier for summer and we have 4 semesters at BYU instead of 3 like most universities. But my mom has always had spring break so I just kind of take a break with her. Mom was able to come to two of my classes which we both enjoyed. Then on Friday she came to work with me and then we went to go babysit Marley. I have been babysitting Marley on Friday for the last semester because Ryan has an art class. I have really enjoyed it because Marley makes me laugh. It has been a nice break on Fridays to have her and I will really miss it when it is done.
Anyways mom and I decided we would take Marley to the aquarium. We had so much fun. Marley's favorite things were petting the sting ray (she laughed so hard), the bright colorful fish (she sang a song to the Nemo fish), and the big sea turtle. She wouldn't touch the starfish though. I guess they were to hard for her. She wasn't too interested in the anaconda and by the time we were almost finished, she was done.

This is how tall Marley is compared to a penguin.

After the aquarium we went to eat. Marley ate a corn bread muffin and made a huge mess. When we got up from the table she looked at the floor and said "Big Mess." She is so funny and we couldn't help but laugh! We then did a little shopping and by the time we got back to the car we were all ready for naps. Marley fell asleep in the car.
We stopped by Cabella's to see if they had any nice winter coats on sale. They did but we didn't buy one because they didn't have the right sizes. Marley soon woke up and we let her find the trout in their pond. She loved it almost more than the aquarium! She would throw the food in and then make eating noises. It was a nice finish to our day. We loved spending the day with Marley and are so thankful that Ryan and Sam would let us take her!

I love that you got to spend some quality time with you mom! We love the aquarium but you are so right that Cabella's is almost just as fun...and free! (Unless Bruce goes then he always finds something that he *needs* Ü)
