Trip to the Downtown Aquarium!

Saturday was a lot of fun! We went with the Brown's and Mosley's to the downtown aquarium! The kids all had a blast together and all things considered, the weather wasn't too bad - not as humid as normal :)
We were all on the train getting ready to go - here are the boys all squished together! From the left - Micah, Andrew, Dolan and Parker. They are all adorable, but little Micah's smile melts me!!

And here are the girls! From the left - Isabel, Grace, Avery & Katie :) Grace and Avery are in the same class and Andrew and Katie are in the same class. Isabel will be in Kindergarten next year :)


Up high on the ferris wheel!! Austin has actually been on this once before, but he was in my tummy the last time :) Katie is sitting next to me.



This is called the Lighthouse Drop. From the left - Grace, Avery, Katie and the biggest kid of them all, Wade:)



The boys were on the other side! From the left - Parker, Micah, Andrew & Dolan.




Austin's first ride on a carousel!! He did really well and only cried once :)




Avery as a deep sea diver......

This is one of the 4 white tigers they have at the aquarium. I learned that white tigers are born to regular orange tigers, they are not a separate breed. In the wild though, if an orange tiger has a white baby tiger, it will be abandoned - so sad!! These are beautiful and HUGE! We got to see feeding time while we were there.




One more of the tigers! They were so massive that Avery could ride one and it would look like she was on a horse :) They said that if the biggest of their white tigers stood up, it would be around 14 feet tall - HUGE!!
