Noon Years Eve

Since we were lucky enough to have an annual membership to the Loveland Living Aquarium in Draper this year, we heard about a fun celebration they were having on the 31st of December called "Noon Years Eve". It is hard to celebrate the new year at the actual midnight countdown with a little boy at home who needs his sleep, (and parents who aren't getting any younger and need all the beauty rest they can get) so we decided to check it out. They do a large balloon drop right at 12:00 noon complete with a countdown, music and everything. Lots of people showed up, but it was a fun thing to participate in as a family before the big celebration at our house that evening.

Probably the only time he'll be able to touch a piranha! (It was dead and dried)
