Wednesday: growing up and fish

Amanda: Joshua, what do you want to be when you grow up?
Joshua: a grown-up
Amanda: That's wise.  Very wise.

After science camp today we visited the 'zoo' at Hope College.  The first fifteen minutes were rather full, but then most of the people left and it calmed down.  We were looking at some skulls and I thought one was a shark, but wasn't quite sure.  I encouraged Isaac to ask one of the helpers, but he declined.  Joshua asked!  Joshua went up to him, brought him over, and asked the question.  I think it's the first time that he has taken the initiative and asked a question [of a stranger] instead of having me ask.  We ended up asking all sorts of questions...even leaving a few times, looking at the aquarium outside the room, and then coming back in to ask a question.  Isaac persuaded him to feed the goldfish and the boys got such a laugh out of it!  It was apparently the silliest thing in the world.
