A Fabulous Weekend

This weekend was a fabulous weekend. John worked from home Friday and it was a 3-day weekend!!! It doesn't get any better than that.
We really wanted to take advantage of the long weekend and do something special. John wanted to pack everyone up at 9pm and head to Sea World (for real) but I suggested something a little closer to home on such short notice. So, on Monday we packed everyone up and headed to the Dallas World Aquarium. John and I went years ago by ourselves and loved it and so we thought it would be a great place to take the kids. As we got in the car, John told Abby we were going to see penguins and so the entire way there, she kept talking about the penguins and asking when she was going to see them. She is such a talker now, literally non-stop while she's awake!
After we parked I decided to feed Lily in the car so we didn't have to stop looking around inside to feed her. She wasn't super hungry so we unloaded everyone and took off.
First stop - the penguins!
This little guy kept staring at Abby, hoping she would drop a fish or two I'm sure!

Jake loved the fact that he could see most of the animals up close vs. at the zoo where they're a bit off in cages.


My kids made themselves at home looking at the giant fish, turtles and sharks. Jake would have laid there all day staring at the turtles. He's so into turtles right now.

They kept trying to touch the stingrays through the glass and of course Jake quickly found a couple of turtles in the corner.

My little monkeys will climb anything, anytime, anywhere!

They loved the touch screen computers, they really look like they're trying to learn about these little birds!

Me and my trio. This is what we look like during the week. I get so many comments about how great it is that I'm getting out and doing things with all three kids - like they expect me to stay locked in the house just because I have three kids under three!
