Today, Darian and I hung out in Montrose for the day. It’s a really cute town. On the street Honolulu, there are a couple blocks of cute specialty stores lined with wide side walks that are shaded by trees. It’s really cute with its old town look.

We started our afternoon in Montrose at Anderson’s Pet Store. We weren’t picking anything up. I’m really not into having pets. But I thought Darian would like to see a couple animals close up, especially because he’s been having a lot of fun with all the different animal sounds, and now he could see them up close.

 
When Darian got up to the birds, they came up to him to check him out. I thought it was so cute that the birds were just as curious of him as he was of them. I showed Darian how to tweet while we signed bird. He let out some loud TEEE TEEE EEEEE sounds.

Darian loved this lizard the most. He kept pointing at him and going back over to his cage. He did look pretty neat.

These sucker fish made me laugh. What a nice life, right? When we had fish as kids, we had a sucker fish. He or she was my favorite. Unfortunately, we had the fish in our sun room, and during a heat wave, they all cooked because the sun was so bright coming through all the windows. It was very sad to find them all floating at the top of their tank. 🙁 Pets never worked out well in our family, and I always hated cleaning up their cages or tanks. Yuck. I really don’t want to have any pets.

Except, for one. There was this little bird at the pet store that just ran around in this big enclosed area. He ran so fast everywhere. Around and around. Under the bridge. Around the cage. Under the bridge. He looked so cool. I’d love to have one of those birds.

After the pet store, Darian and I took a walk. There are so many fun stores. It was hard to decide where to go. We stopped at Critters, where Darian had a lot of fun. We tried out all the puppets and looked at the different stuffed animals. He really liked the alligator puppet and the raccoon. But the all time attention getter was this electronic puppet theater.
After checking out a couple more stores, we ended our outing with some delicious Scandinavian ice cream. The weather was perfect, and Darian had so much fun seeing real and stuffed animals. It’s way more fun to learn about animals when we’re actually seeing them.
