The SECRET to SUCCESS!!!

I bet after reading my last post you all thought "Well she's never going to take her kids anywhere again!" If that's what you thought, you'd be wrong. Call me crazy, but I really wanted to take my kids to the Living Planet Aquarium. I guess whoever came up with the old saying "Practice makes perfect. . ." really knew what they were talking about because this time we did it without a hitch! I'm not kidding! Nobody cried, or screamed, or leaked through their pants, or threw up at all. Now, Kyson still wandered off every once in a while, but that was all. And it really wasn't even that bad.

Okay, so maybe everything went so well because this time Braxton had a longer nap in the car; or Kyson was well fed; or perhaps the fact that Beau was asleep the whole time had something to do with it; or maybe even the fact that the amount of interest and kid friendliness on the Fun-O-Meter was WAY UP! You could say that all those fantastic reasons factor into the equation. But, just for my own personal satisfaction, I'm going to add in practice. Because as we all know, practice makes perfect:) So there you have it: the secret formula to SUCCESS. Go ahead and write it down. (You know you want to.)
SLEEP + FOOD + HIGH % OF FUN + PRACTICE = SUCCESS


We really did have fun. We saw lots of cool fish, and sharks and other creatures of the deep. We even got to pet stingrays! It was pretty cool, even for the mom:)
