01.12.11 Aquarium

The day after the marathon we kept Matthias so Rick, Kristi & the kids could go to the Magic Kingdom. Monday night they got to our house, and stayed with us for a few days. It was so nice to just hang out with them. Tuesday they watched Eli & Leah while I taught my class, then Kristi and I went to the mall while the kids took naps. Wednesday we got up, packed a lunch, and headed to the Aquarium. We wanted to get there in time to see the Penguin show-and we made it just in time.
It was pretty cool-well...at least I think it was. Eli wasn't really interested, so I was chasing him for a while.

Lookin' at the fish.

Creepy

Looking through the magnifier thing at the tiny fish.

We found Nemo!

The smoke is always a hit with the kids...it's one of Eli's favorite spots :)

'Petting' the stingrays

These birds were pretty funny. They came up so close! One snapped at Isaiah. It was pretty funny :)

Who will win the staring contest?

Even Leah got to look at the fish.

Everyone went outside for a bit while I fed Leah. It was a gorgeous day.

That's one big fish...

The kids liked the tank where you could touch these fish too.

Apparently Rick played with my camera...

I think you're suppose to play INSIDE those...

A bunch 'o happy kids :)

It was a really fun morning.

Afterwards we went to Ryan's school and ate lunch in the library. Fun times for all :)

It was really nice to have Rick & Kristi visit. Hopefully they'll come again soon :)
