Peter is such a terrific kid! Sometimes hard to understand, sometimes tricky with his emotions, but once you get one on one with him, he is amazing! Peter is such a deep thinker. He can ask the most profound questions, that can lead you into terrific conversations. He has really developed a zeal for reading the Book of Mormon and he has also become more service minded. Also, he is so caring and concerned with how my life is going. He is always wanting to make sure I, as his mom, am happy. Such a sweet boy!
So, we celebrated him and all of his terrific qualities!
First up: the actual day...
He received the priesthood on his birthday. Caleb was pretty jealous. Such a neat boy with so much to add to the world.
Then, the next day (Monday) we headed to a new aquarium, SeaQuest, to check it out and experience some new things. This is an aquarium where you can touch the animals, feed them and interact with them. It was a super neat time.
We got to touch these cool lizards and iguanas.
There was this giant tortoise that just roamed all around. Walking from here to there and the kids were able to feed him too.
A very cool chameleon.
This crazy, loud and full of cool birds area where the kids got to go inside. You could either just sit there and watch or get a little cup of seeds and feel the birds. As you can see, the birds flocked to the food and the kids were not quite sure how to take it all.
There was also this really nice worker there named Christian. He found out we were there for Peter's birthday and he got out a snake for Peter to hold. Pretty cool experience.
There is so much here that I am not showing. The kids got to feed a monitor lizard, an octopus and see so many other cool things! After the reptile area we headed to the water area. There was a large tank where you could watch manta rays, horseshoe crabs, little sharks...these really cool silver fish...it was a feast for the excited eyes and exciting to interact with all the creatures. The kids all had these little fish sucking on their hands.
The horseshoe crabs were large.
And it was fun to watch is swim upside down.
Feeding the rays
Feeding the sharks.
It was a terrific time! Such a fun way to be together as a family and celebrate such a wonderful kid!
Happy Birthday, my Peter!
