Some people say our poor kids are deprived because they don’t have a pet, so guess what we got as our first pets, SEA MONKEYS!  When I decide to do something I go big; instead of one animal I got hundreds of tiny little swimming creatures.  They are fun, easy to care for, and quite the science experiment.  I figure if Brielle can manage to take care of these guys for awhile maybe we can move up to a cat or something.  When she turns 18.  She has loved watching these crazy little swimmers and so has everyone else in the family.  Colby and I sit and watch them at night, they are fascinating.  They seem to be attracted to our green wall.  It’s crazy we put them to one side closed to the green wall and they all swim to that side and then we move them to the other side and they swim to that side.  Weird.  

It was fun to have my mom here the other day, her and my sister sat and reminisced about how attached Erin (my sister) got to her Sea-Monkeys.  She took them everywhere with her.  I guess that explains why she is the animal fanatic now and me...well, not so much.  These little Sea Monkeys have defiantly been a fun little addition to the Bower family, that we enjoy watching.   I just hope Brielle doesn’t want to try to name them all!
