We all loaded up this morning and took off to Chattanooga to the aquarium and we had a blast. Riley loved everything she saw...Samuel was a little more reserved from the beginning...he loved the escalator rides but freaked out when he and Jamey went through the revolving door. Jamey ended up carrying him through about 80 percent of the building but fun was had by all and everyone was in a very good mood.
It was so much fun to watch Riley and hear her describing what she saw, answer her two million questions and laugh with her in her amazment in what was exploring. Samuel was so funny. He wasn't really scared but he was leary...I am not quite certain that he understood that they couldn't get to him....but even with his reservations he was a real trooper. He took everything in with wide eyed amazment and didn't really talk much until he saw the sharks..he loved the sharks! Scared of the jellyfish...not of the shark...who knows! :-)
So we loaded up, drove there, paid over $50 for all of us to get in and the kids seemed to have more fun outside the aquarium. There were all of these empty water fountain structures that all of the kids were climbing in/on and they loved that! I do believe that my children are really part ape...if there is anything to be climbed on...they will find their way over to climb on it. I put just a couple of pictures of them below as well as a picture of a really cute penguin we met. I am so glad we got to get out and enjoy the day...I think we are in for yucky cold weather coming up...that means being trapped inside...eek...I really dred that!
Okay, so my picture adding skills lack a lot to be desired but I tried and I will hopefully do better next time. I guess the trick is not to type up the blog first then try to add pictures. I am too tired to start over...I really had no control over where the pictures were put...I kinda wanted to go in order...the ones of them sleeping would be at the end...oh well...I'm going to bed...too tired to care.
I hope everyone else got to enjoy the day too!
Yea! Looks like so much fun! I am glad ya'll had a great time!
ReplyDeleteLooks like fun. I am glad y'all got to spend the day out of the house and as a family.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a wonderful trip! Cute pics!
ReplyDeleteI put a lot of pics on my blog, but I still haven't quite figured out how to control where and in what order they appear.
