Dallas World Aquarium

Today I decided to surprise my little man. We got home from the gym and TJ MAXX around 11 and I got ready as quickly as I could. I changed his clothes and he wondered what we were doing. I told him that it was a surprise and he must have asked me that same question ten more times. I took him to the aqaurium two summers ago, but he doesn't remember...that's what I love about pictures! They remind us of the some of the good times we've had. Anyway we pulled up and I told him where we were. He was so excited and couldn't wait to see the sharks! SHARKS-YIKES! He said he wants to ride on the back of one in the ocean...uh, not in my lifetime! As I was paying for our tickets there was a sign in the window, "We are expecting 500 students around 2 pm." It was 1:38. We hauled booty up to the 3rd floor and began our adventure before the place was flooded with kids. He was fascinated by the flamingos that were fighting each other today, the royal blue frogs, and the hammerhead sharks. He could not get over the fact that we could stand underneath the sharks as they swam. We must have stayed in the tunnel for at least 15 minutes. We had a wonderful day together and as we were leaving the gift shop with his canteen, ant glasses, and t-shirt he said, "Mommy, I just love you." It doesn't get any better than that!

Kade told this guy next to us that this was the teacher from Finding Nemo!





Check out the Jaguar napping behind Kade.






Standing like a "mingo" two years ago....




Now he's a pro!


Look at that sweet face! He would move his mouth as if he was talking to us!


His Fire Ant glasses...SCARY!
