Fun Times

Leland's mom and sister flew in on Monday and aren't leaving until Friday. We've had a fun week of playing and shopping. Tuesday the boys skipped school so that we could have an entire day of fun. It was decided we would try out the Dallas World Aquarium. It was very pricey to get in, but worth every penny. We all really enjoyed it. We stayed for several hours - even having lunch there. When we first arrived we discovered it was Arlington Kindergarten Day - but thankfully they were all friendly and considerate. We ate lunch a little early hoping they would all clear out giving us more room to look around. Unfortunately I forgot cameras - both mine and Ryland's. Thankfully though, Lesa has a good camera phone with the Internet, so I did end up with a few pictures of the day.

This bird flew down and perched about 4 inches from my hand. He was making me a little nervous with that beak. Ryland was wanting to pet him, but once again, that beak told me to say no.

This bird was really proud of him worm. He even tried to give it to Sandy.

There is a tunnel that goes under the shark tank. It was really cool to watch them swim all around us.
Above the shark tank.

There were 2 manatee's in another tank along with large turtles and catfish.

Yesterday we did some shopping. I'm not sure of the plan for today - probably some much needed sleep. :) I hope everyone else is having a wonderful week also.

How very cool! We lived in the Dallas area for a while, but never made it to the aquarium. Maybe someday!
