School and fish… Day 1035 16SEP11

I got to be Joshua's teacher today because Renee had to go attend his IEP meeting in Brandon. We had a lot of fun doing his school work and got it all finished by lunchtime. He focused really well and I was really impressed by the quality of his materials.

As a reward or the boys working hard this week on their school work we took them on a field trip to the Florida Aquarium to learn about sea creatures. It was a really neat afternoon and we all learned quite a bit about our aquatic friends. We got to touch sea anemones and sea stars and pet a few rays. Joshua really liked the penguins and I have always loved the leafy sea dragons. Their were even a coupe of sea turtles for Renee.

We thought it was stuffed until it blinked.

Poor thing had both front fins amputated :(

Afterwards we headed for home to relax and enjoy the rest of our evening. We boys went out after dinner and skated outside for a bit before it got dark. For our evenings entertainment we watched a fun movie together before sending the boys off to bed.
