Fishy Fun

This past Saturday Avery, my mom and I explored Art Splash, the art fair that is held on the a lawn outside the North Mankato Taylor Library. It was the perfect day for an art fair, maybe a bit hot but not raining. Avery wasn’t too interested in the jewelry, painting or other art/crafts that the artists were selling and he was too young to take part in the make-n-take- class that were going on, but he enjoyed seeing the people and puppies that we out walking around. The highlight of the day really wasn’t the art fair at all, it was visiting the Taylor Library. It was the first time I have ever taken Avery to any library, knowing his love for books I thought he would really enjoy seeing all the books but he was too distracted to even notice all the great books. What was the distraction? A fish tank! 

Checking out the Taylor Library's fish tank

Avery has always liked fish tanks. We have a very large fish tank that is build into the wall above the back counter of our wet bar at home, but the critters that currently live in our tank (crayfish) aren’t as fun as the bright colored tropical fish that were swimming around the library's tank.

Playing Hide & Seek with the fishy

Avery loved watching the fish swim and hide in the rocks and coral. Guess we need to plan a trip to the zoo and aquarium. Watching Avery experience new things is always so much fun, maybe next time we visit the library we will start with the books then check out the fish.
