Dallas World Aquarium

On Friday one of the moms clubs that I am a member of went on a field trip. We took the kiddos to the Dallas World Aquarium. Another mom and her son rode with Connor and I. We had a blast. Before Connor was born, James and I went together when he was up here for a business trip. We always said that we would love to bring our children here. We got there when the aquarium opened, it was not busy at all. The keepers fed the otters for us, did a demonstration at the Croc tank, and we just enjoyed our time there.

This picture was taken obviously through glass. The manatees are amazing endangered creatures.
My sweet boy having a snack with a shaaaarrrrkkk!!!

Still eating with a rain forest bird. Luckily for me Connor is not yet into wanting to know each animal name and where it lives.


Here is Connor eating again, with Hayden. This is his buddy. They have a funny relationship. Connor is 4 months older than Hayden, but they seem to play great and have fun together.


Another shark....and still EATING. He carried his Snacktrap around the aquarium, and lucky for me he was not interested in feeding the animals. The shark tank was his favorite. He stood and would watch the sharks swim over him, then stand on the ledge and touch the glass as they swam by him.....so much fun!
We will have to take Daddy back in a couple of months! It is amazing for me to watch little eyes light up for the first time when they see things. For Connor to say "Mama" and point, or smile and laugh is so much fun! I will cherish these memories.
