Denver Downtown Aquarium

We had an awesome day at the Aquarium with all of our little people. The babies sat back in strollers transfixed by the shapes floating around them. The tunnels leading visitors through large tanks fascinated both of them. To me the tanks were dream like. To a baby, it must have seemed like the fish were somehow flying around us. Both babies spent the day laughing and shrieking and with amazement. We were lucky to go on day with very few visitors.
This is a great attraction for kids and I recommend it especially for younger children, who are free to explore a range of interactive displays.

Whose Dragon Wings & Dragon Tail is this?

I love this pic, unfortunately, IT IS NOT MINE! Dominic, my five year old, wants to be a dragon this halloween and this is the pic i based my construction on. It was sent to me by a well meaning friend who thinks it came from a blog, but doesn't remember. I will put up pics of Dominic in his finished costume, but I would love to be able to credit this properly as my inspiration. If anyone knows, please let me know. Mine are different, but pretty similar. Hope you're having fun putting those finishing touches on your halloween costumes! Uh-oh, you haven't started?!? Ha! I'll show off the final product here, but I think we're going store bought for the babies this year, besides I think Sophia's pumpkin costume from last year will fit Simon perfectly.
