After the girls and I got back from our VA trip in April, we moved them into the same room. Trevor painted Chloe's old room pink and moved Scar's bed in. We have had such issues with them sharing a room, we resorted to good old fashioned bribery. I made a chart with 28 days for each of them. If they had a good bed time at night they would get to put a sticker on the chart the next morning. After 28 good bed times we would go to the zoo. There were smaller prizes along the way (happy meal, ice cream cones, slurpees), but the zoo was the big one. We went to the zoo on Friday, 7/6. Here are the pictures we took.
The girls loved the aquarium and the aquatic life. Above is a fish tank with lots of Dori's from Nemo. Below are walruses. They are huge! The biggest one is 3300 pounds! They kept rolling onto their backs and floating around. We got to see them from this view and also underground in the aquarium where it looked like they were swimming right at us.
There was a little playground where we spent some time. Bird's nest-
Spider web-
An anemone-
Chloe's favorite thing is the merry go round. We rode it twice. I don't need to hold onto her anymore.
Scar and I kicked back in the bench seat. I asked her if she wanted to ride an animal and she said "no". She is having none of it. So we had fun sitting.
You can't see it here, but Mt. Rainier is in the background. It's beautiful! You don't get to see it very often since it's so cloudy here but when you can it's magnificent!
Chloe was in a mood to pose, as you can see from the above and below pics.
In the shark's mouth at the aquarium .
Too bad Chloe is so dark in this one. This shark was just sitting on the sand. We all loved the sharks.
I'm proud of them for so many good bed times. Trouble is, now that we've gone to the zoo and the chart is full- what do I do? We have had bed time issues since Friday. Any suggestions?
