feeling small

This is how we start our NEW YEAR.......

"Hi Persingerfive.....bloob bloob"

......with a visit to some of the most beautiful finned lovely at the Albuquerque Aquarium.

"My favorite is that one. No. That one. No. That one.
Actually, all of them are my favorite" explains Cookie to Bam.

The jelly fish exhibit is absolutely entrancing.

Sweetheart rubs the aquarium glass while the puffer fish grazes against over and over.
"I thinks this puffer fish was a dog in his past life!" says Sweetheart.

We enjoy the ABQ Aquarium.......

Come again P5

The fun was only beginning, as we headed to the Rio Grande Botanic Gardens next door.
Where we were greeted by a 14 foot dragon at the entrance to the Children's Fantasy Garden.

Don't look behind you just run to the castle Princess Fifi!!!!

It was a cool overcast day but nevertheless a perfect time to enjoy the botanic gardens.
Perhaps it was the lunch we ate earlier but we all shrunk to the size of two blueberries for two whole hours!!
These are our adventures........

Bam and Fifi attempted to water the garden

Sweetheart no bigger than an onion...... aawwww

We had tons of fun and laughter in the botanic gardens 

We played freeze tag and hide and seek among the enormous bugs, garden tools, and giant veggies.

Luckily, the effects of being the height of two blueberries wore off.

And it couldn't have come any sooner..........

Eeek!!
