here fishy, fishy...we went to the living planet aquarium last week while allan was off of work. it was so much fun. paxton had been asking to go for weeks. i kept telling him that when daddy was off of work then we would go. needless to say he was asking everyday if it was time for daddy to "quit" work.
here we are touching the sting rays. can i just tell you how crazy they are...this one looks all nice and gentle in the picture, but don't let it fool you. right after this picture was taken, it was trying to climb (as well as a sting ray can climb) up the side of the rock wall. i was so freaked out! this was for sure one of the kids' favorite things to do. pax had been preparing himself for weeks to get the courage to touch the rays this time. and he did, time and time and time again. the aquarium also has this new exibit. it is all about the rainforest. it was amazing. you all need to check it out!

here is me and ky looking at the squid (or maybe it was an octopus, i can't really remember). so they have this sign by the tank that says no flash photography. well my darling sister thought it would be great to take a picture seeming how the squid was right here at the edge of the glass. well when she took it, the squid freaked out and went zooming to the bottom of the tank. it was wigging out. we then noticed the sign. we now know why they don't want you to use flashes. the picture is cool though right?

my boys love, love, love everything about sharks. paxton is always checking out books about them. so when we saw this tank full of all kinds, we had to take a picture. pax was thrilled! wyatt on the other hand...

...was a little freaked out! he was a good sport though and humored mom and let her take the picture. i kept thinking what a fun scrapbook page titled SHARKS! it is sad that i plan what pictures i want to take according to what i think will make a cute scrapbook page.

there was a cute little boat that the kids could sit in. ky of course thought this was the perfect spot for her. she was quite pleased with herself. i love this cheesy smile she gives. even though ky is not even two yet, she loved the aquarium. it was fun to see her little face light up.

well we had a great time, good enough that we ended up buying season passes. they ended up being so worth it. it was $8 for the day for an adult, $6 for the day for kids over age 2. then for season passes it was $16 for adults and $12 for kids. so really if we go one more time then we have our passes paid for. i am sure we are going to go alot more then that. so really it was a no brainer! so the invitation is sent...anyone who wants to go let us know, we will so be there!
