We found Nemo

Have you seen these things?
It's crazy cool! Uncle Josh and Aunt Juli hooked Ben up with a flying robot fish for Christmas. It's basically a big helium balloon with robotic attachments that let you control it remotely around a space. You can make it go up or down, turn, and swim around. He swims around our house, making us all feel like we are in a giant fish bowl! Very cool. It takes some coordination to get his tail to swim him around the right way, but our little superman is up to the challenge.
He's surprisingly good at it!
Not going to lie....Jim and play with this thing after the kids are in bed. (if only we had superman pajama's!) It would be kind of amazing to paint a space blue, make it look like a fish tank, and have these being controlled around the room. (they make a scary looking shark as well) Ben just knows he's made a friend.
A friend that looks a bit like Nemo. And due to that resemblance, it seemed only fitting that Ben and "Nemo" should watch the movie inspired by the fish himself together on a very cold winter day.
Very cool.
