Catching Up....Finally!!!

We had planned to take Niah to the Jenks Aquarium for her birthday this year, but we ended up having to cancel because I was still recovering from Isaiah's birth. We had postponed it indefinitely, and I knew Niah was beginning to wonder if we would ever get around to it...but we did. TJ had yesterday off for Memorial day, and so we went. Niah was really surprised AND happy!

Number One on Niah's list was the touch tanks. Almost immediately, we came across this coral reef touch tank. The girls got to touch a star fish and some shark eggs.

We then moved on to the stingray and shark touch tank. Niah went right for it, but it took Aliya a little bit to warm up to the idea.

Kiahna almost touched a stingray...but then it moved. She wasn't going to have any part of that!

Even though we have a turtle at home that the girls feed everyday, they LOVED feeding the turtles at the aquarium. The food was clipped onto a clothes pin that was attached to a pole. They would then dangle the food in front of the turtles for them to eat.

Isaiah doesn't quite fit his Daddy's cap yet. One of these days, though, he will.

Number one on my list was the shark tank. They had about 20 sharks in the tank. Glad I was on the outside looking in!!!

TJ and the kids...don't they make an adorable exhibit?!! He's a really proud daddy!

We had a great day--definitely worth waiting for! Niah, thank you for waiting patiently. We love YOU!!!
