Mom Transforms Home Into Aquarium to Celebrate Son's Birthday in Quarantine - 1033 Amp Radio

A mother from Michigan thought of a creative way to celebrate her son's birthday during quarantine.

Becky Spagnuolo transformed her house into an aquarium. The mother had to do this after her 2-year-old's birthday party was canceled during the coronavirus pandemic, reported Good Morning America.

The family was planning to travel from their home in Michigan to the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago to celebrate her son Clark. Spagnuolo's son has always loved looking at the ocean.

"Some of his first words were 'fish' and 'Dory' [from 'Finding Nemo']," Spagnuolo said.

The mother-of-two said the family was "bummed but completely understanding" when their trip was canceled due to COVID-19.

She immediately wanted to make her son's day special, so she brainstormed creative ideas to change her living room into a replica of an aquarium.

"We really needed something to make everyone smile," she said.

So that's when Becky and her husband, Nick, started creating ideas for their son's birthday. For several weeks, the family made crafts while reading ocean-themed books. Becky also researched the aquarium's website to see which animals they had inside.

Although the mother is very artistic, she explained that she had "never done something on this level before."

On the morning of her son's birthday, she got up at 4:00 a.m. to decorate with the help of her 4-year-old son, Mikey. They taped blue plastic tablecloths to the windows to replicate the ocean. The mother and son also made homemade jellyfish and hung them from the ceiling.

To create the scene, the mother also created tickets to get into the aquarium while also broadcasting a live stream from the Shedd Aquarium.

She said seeing her sons enjoying themselves "was a big sigh of relief. There's been a lot of anxiety, a lot of fear."

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post Posted: 05 Jun 2016 12:00 AM PDT With exacting precision, the surgeon inserted the scalpel above the eyeball and cut out a snotty deposit of fatty tissue. The routine eye-lift was nearly complete when suddenly the patient awoke, suffocating, and began to flop about on the table. The audience gasped. Knowing time was of the essence, the surgeon scooped up the patient in his arms, raced across the stage, and dropped her into a tank of water. She revived. Because she was a fish. Yes, fish eye-lifts exist. As do fin jobs and tail tucks. The operating theater was a mall in Jakarta, Indonesia, where a pet expo was under way. As for the patient, she survived, her formerly droopy eyes now bright and perky. A good thing, too, as this was no ordinary goldfish but rather an Asian arowana, the world's most expensive aquarium denizen, rumored to sell for as mu

Reviews: Horrified SeaQuest Aquarium Visitors Tell All | PETA - PETA Reviews: Horrified SeaQuest Aquarium Visitors Tell All | PETA - PETA Posted: 21 Sep 2020 12:00 AM PDT SeaQuest aquariums—which are owned by Vince Covino—are plagued by issues: animal deaths, legal violations, injuries to employees and members of the public from direct contact with animals, and customer reviews that'll make your jaw drop (and not in a good way). So if you've ever considered visiting a SeaQuest location or any other Covino-operated aquarium, do yourself and animals a favor: Learn from these TripAdvisor and Yelp reviewers. At SeaQuest Folsom in California, an otter was apparently whacked with a broom. "This place smells the animals look tortured and starved. I'm not a fan of this place. Took my family and we ran out of there. … We will never go back. Also we saw an employee wack an otter with a broom. … If you love animals you will hate t
