Animals

 This boy LOVES animals! This summer has been animal filled. Even huge dogs that lick him in the face just make him laugh.

We start off with the Boise Aquarium. It is still very much under construction and a little ghetto, but Brex didn't mind. He was a happy boy petting the sting rays, sharks, and lizards.

 Here's Brady petting a hammerhead shark

 And now an iguana.

 Everything was so hands on. I'd never been to an aquarium quite like it.

 Brex was soaking wet by the end, but man did he love it!

 My review of the Boise Aquarium: We are glad we did it once, because like I said it is really hands on. I would suggest only taking your kids with one parent because it is so expensive and not to thrilling for adults. There is construction all throughout with a lot of empty exhibits. We will most likely not ever go again, but glad we did it once especially when brex is free!

 Afterwards Brady tried to prove that Cabellas is just as good but free. He may have been right. 

There was a big fish pool outside of Cabellas.

 And of course there were adorable puppies being sold outside of Cabellas also. Brex loves dogs!! (too much for my liking)

 Cabellas had way more fish in its aquarium.

 And turtles...the boise aquarium did not have turtles.

Later in the summer we went to the zoo for the first time. We started by chasing geese while waiting for Debbie and her kiddos.

 Brex is trying to swing like the monkeys.

 Sad that he would rather pet the statue than see the real giraffes.

 He really had so much fun and is getting so big.

 We also visited the Twin Falls Fair over labor day and saw big pigs, a bear show, and fed a lot of goats/sheep.

This kid is fearless when it comes to animals. It was so fun watching him.

 This last picture is from the Nature Walk in Downtown Boise. TONS of fish and we even saw a ginormous sturgeon fish! It was such a beautiful night and made me so excited for fall!!!

We love this little boy and are amazed by how big he is getting. He is such a little boy now! We are just loving each new stage in his childhood!
