Aquarium+Kaleb=FANTASTIC

We went to the Downtown Houston Aquarium on Saturday. I knew that Kaleb would LOVE this trip because of his love for fish. After all, fish is one of the only words he says consistantly and without prompting! We knew it would be kind of expensive (even with the buy one get one coupons I found online) so I was kind of nervous that it would be worth it with Kaleb being so young. Boy was I nervous for nothing! Kaleb was the best kind of excited. You know that kind of excited where you can't even smile...you are just staring with your mouth open and kind of bouncing and waving...yeah that kind of excited!! It was priceless! Below are some of the pictures we got. Most of them are Kaleb looking into the aquariums, but there was also a discovery center and Tiger exhibit.


The discovery center had a shallow tank with stingrays swimming up for you to touch. Kaleb loved getting to splash in the water. Then he realized that there was a fish that he could touch and he got REALLY excited!




That fish looks really evil...



Kaleb loved the exhibits that had low walls for him to hold on to...
But, even then he couldn't get quite close enough!







This is my favorite! It really captures his awe and makes you wonder what was going through his mind!

There was a white tiger exhibit at the end. It was really cool to watch them!

Unfortunately, this was also cutting into nap time!! Take note of the VERY sleepy eyes!


We also went on a train ride that stopped in a tunnel full of sharks. It was REALLY cool, unfortunately I didn't get any good pictures of it! Kaleb couldn't decide what to do. He kept turning in circles, and crawling from Poppy to Daddy, to make sure that he didn't miss anything.
I think that a sign of a good day is a baby that passes smooth out within 5 minutes of getting into the car!!

This was DEFINITELY a good time!! Who knew being a parent could be soooo much fun! I am so blessed to have such a wonderful family!
