Dallas World Aquarium



Today I took 3 of the 4 kids to the Dallas World Aquarium. Hayley was more interested in hanging with her friends today. haha! We went to the Aquarium before school started and the price of the place for my HUGE family...well, let's just say for $30 more dollars, we can go all year for free with a membership! haha! So, I decided to take them again today. We had a great time. It was a little more crowded, but still doable!

One of our main goals today, was to see the Manatees! Last time, they stayed hidden and we were a little disappointed. We could see their shadows under water, but never came close to the HUGE GLASS. Today...we weren't! The came up close and personal in the underground tank. Felt like we could kiss them. It was really neat!Here is my picture of the Manatee...

Grace was dying to take a picture...so this is her picture of the manatee...

I guess we got the head and the tail! hahaha! Believe me, the middle is so huge!!!! They are eating very well. It's amazing to watch them swim/float around.

Another fun thing we did was catch butterflies. The kids loved this. The butterflies would just crawl right up on their fingers and flutter their wings. One butterfly had been picked up enough, we guessed, because it kept flying/jumping off our fingers.


It was a great day!!! More pictures later!
