I've been so busy this past week, well, few months really. I thought once Little was in school full time I would have all this free time to myself. Wrong. I'm busy. Most of it is by choice but I'm busy none-the-less. I've really been enjoying my time at the Aquarium. I never thought I would be able to do so much there. It's an experience I will never forget.
Here's a little-mini run down of my day with the Penguins:
I start at 7:30
- I help clean the main rooms where they stay if it's cold out.
- Wash down walls and doors.
- Walk down to get 20-30 lbs bucket of fish.
- Prep fish(Check to make sure they are good)
- Sit outside on exhibit to log feed.
- Spraydown exhibit.
- Clean fish prep area.
- Take bucket down and sort unused fish and clean bucket.
- Break at 10:00.
- Come back and clean or move things that need to be moved.
- Lunch at 12:00.
- Get fish to take back for 2nd feed.
- Prep fish.
- Assist log with feed.
- Spray exhibit.
- Clean fish-prep area.
- Go clean 2nd bucket and sort the fish.
- Read anything that needs and work on my checklist.
- Bring everything inside that needs to come in
- Make sure weather is good for penguins to stay out.
- Go home at 4:00!
This is a picture of my favorite penguin. She's the sweetest!
So once a week I'm at the Aquarium. Landon has been going to the youth center before and after school on the days that I have to go and he loves it. It gives him time to play and hang out with his friends and I no longer feel guilty for doing something for me.
Besides that I've been helping on committees for the boat, helping once a week in Littles class and our house is all decorated for Christmas! Yes, you read that right. Christmas! I will try to update more once I get the hang of all of this. I have some great recipes and craft that I have to post! I've also been reading some great books I want to tell everyone about!
