On Wednesday my sisters, my mom and I packed up the kids and took them to a neat little sea life aquarium in Sandy. They had everything from sting rays and eels to jellyfish and sharks. Teya loved seeing all the fishies and was especially excited when she got to the tank full of "Nemos and Dorys" They had a touch pool too that you could reach in and feel the sting rays as well as mini-touch pools with star fish, sea cucumbers, and other fun things. Teya didn't want to touch the rays, or "Mr. Ray" as she called them, but she was all about the starfish and cucumbers. She laughed her head of every time she felt one of them, it was pretty cute.
After the aquarium we took the kids to a restaurant called the Mayan. When you go in it looks like a Disneyland ride. Everything is decorated and in the middle there is a huge rock cliff with a waterfall and diving pools. We got seated right in front of the waterfall, which we thought would be so great for the kids. At first Teya thought it was pretty neat, but then the show started. They had Mayan warriors jumping off the waterfall accompanied by thunder, lightning, and a waterfall surge. Teya buried her head in her hands and kept saying, "No mommy! I don't like it!" finally she jumped into my sisters lap (who was further away from the waterfall then I was) buried her head in my sister's chest and didn't come out for the rest of our lunch. At one point she did let us give her a little taco, but other than that she was way too scared to be peeled off of my sister. Eventually she just feel asleep in Sarah's arms. It was pretty adorable. When we got back to the house and her Uncle asked her what she did that day, I thought she would talk about the fish or the sharks but instead she enthusiastically said, "I see a waterfall!" I guess even if it was a little scary at least it's something she'll never forget!
