I decided to help distract the boys from the new baby and mom and dad being gone ~~ that they would take a field trip with Aunt Emmie to the Dallas World Aquarium where Uncle Kane works.

The boys looked at allot of things. Most things we would look at for a moment an then Kyle would say "Can we keep moving?". Only a few things held his attention a little bit ~~ One the touch screens about the animals (not so much for the education, mostly just being it was fun to touch. Two the sting rays ~~ there are three main exhibits with sting rays ~~ Kyle favorite was this one with the rays, turtles and ducks. The duck was taking a bath and splashing water everywhere and both boys thought that was really cool.

They both liked going outside and looking at the penguins. CJ waved to the penguin that was looking at him. In fact he waved and blew kisses to the animals that were looking at him. CJ mostly just liked running around and having me pick him up to get as close to the animal as possible :O) We then ate lunch with Uncle Kane in the area with the fish tanks. Then looked around some more.

This is near the end of the day and the boys were getting tired. CJ really thought the big tank was cool, but Kyle was a little scared by all the big fish.

Uncle Kane then took us to the back to see what he gets to play with everyday. They took one of the baby crocs out of the tank to let us see it. CJ was willing to get near it and he even petted it. Kyle on the other hand looked at it from behind the door frame. Then he told me "You should not be taking the bay out of the tank." It is good to know someone is safety conscious.

Finally Kane showed the boys the frogs he was helping hatch (there were also lizards, geckos, and turtles). This is of the boys looking at frogletts (half frog, half tadpole). I got the boys a souvenir glass that had a neck strap and a lid. Then we headed home.

The boys were excited about seeing Mom and Dad. Mostly because the building has the "whirly" door. baby sister just is not as cool was the "whirly" door. :O) It was a fun day, but a tiring one.
