Dallas World Aquarium

Today we took a trip downtown to enjoy the Dallas World Aquarium. We went with our friends, Heather, Kylie and Austin.


Kylie and Maddie were instant buddies and held hands all the way into the aquarium.


Both kids were really excited about going this year--and truth be told, so was I!




The very first animal we saw with this Giant Anteater. Such a weird creature, don't ya think?




Austin, Jackson, Madison and Kylie. Big buds.




After seeing a few animals, we came to the feed the bird exhibit. Jackson waited for a minute, but the birds didn't feel like eating his blueberry.



Then it was Madison's turn. She waited for a little while, and sure enough, that little bird hopped right on down and snatched the blueberry right out of her hand.



When I saw we were approaching the snack bar I knew we wouldn't be able to walk past without buying something. These kids have a strong love for the cheeto...and really, who doesn't?


After our snack break we came face to face with the crocodile! It was kind of freaky being so close to such a huge creature!



It was Austin and Jackson's favorite creature of the day.



J's other fave were the manatees. Here are two lovebird manatees:)


My two rascals actually sat still for two seconds in the aquarium.



And then all of the kids were mesmerized by the sharks!



On our way out we got to see this beautiful guy. What a fun way to spend a day indoors.

Yay for the A/C!
