An afternoon at the Aquarium

Saturday was beautiful weather, so the whole family decided to go to the Aquarium in downtown Houston. Cade loved looking at the fish, birds, sharks, and tigers. He went with NO NAP all day and was actually pretty good. I think he was just so excited that he didn't have time to be tired. But as soon as we got in the car around 3:30pm, he was asleep before we got out of the parking lot. We had a blast! My favorite thing about being with Cade is watching his reactions to things. You never know what he is going to do, but we are always prepared to laugh!

Here goes our adventure...

Our spoiled little treasure!

Petting the sharks with Daddy

Watching the snakes with Daddy and Gam-ee. He was not really sure of these, after a quick look he started waving "bye bye" to the snakes. Guess he is not a snake lover like his Daddy!

Watching all the colorful fish

Sorry Friends, I've gone Fishing!

The white tiger was another funny experience. Cade went right up to the glass and started pointing at the tiger. Well about that time, the tiger jumped up and pawed at the glass. This made Cade jump and he cried for a second. But, after a few tears, went right back to the glass for more! Mommy was glad that is a thick glass, cause Cade looked like an afternoon snack for that big animal!

Pointing out the mouth, tongue and teeth. This tiger was a bigger hit than the real thing!

A huge Turtle

We loved all the colorful fish. I would like to listen to God's thoughts while he was creating all these creatures. Each one is so unique and beautiful in its own way. It amazes me how each creature is adapted for his own survival (long nose, certain colors, defense mechanisms, etc.). God is so creative and truly knows all!

Riding the train (you can see we where starting to get a little sleepy!)

Riding the shark on the Carousel

I think this picture could be my favorite! I laugh out loud every time I see Charles sporting the Seahorse. Just too funny to me...he is such a good Daddy!

Riding the Ferris Wheel with Gramp-ee

Family pic on Ferris Wheel...notice Gam-ee had to take the pic, there was no getting her on this ride! Gam-ee has a fear of heights!

And the money shot...asleep within 1 minute of the car rolling. He couldn't let go of his new ball!
