Aquarium Trip

Last weekend we went down to New Orleans to see the aquarium. Both of my sisters and my Mom made the trip as well. Josh, Tyler, and I headed down Saturday morning and visited with his parents for a few minutes, they happened to be in New Orleans for the weekend too. When everyone made it into town we took off through the aquarium at the speed of a two year old, which is surprisingly fast! All the kids had a great time. Tyler LOVES fish and his Aunt Kristin actually gave him a little aquarium and fish for his room. So he was in heaven looking at all the sharks and fish and seeing all the exhibits. Their favorite part was the kid area. They had a play house and slide, an area to pet sting rays, an area to pet a shark, and some little climbing and walk through toys. It was a big success and we were all ready for lunch by the time we made it out. We let Tyler run through the Riverwalk on the way to get lunch and about half way through he started to lag behind. Josh put him up on his shoulders and the child almost fell asleep on Josh's head. We hurried and ate something quick at the Riverwalk and went back to Josh's parents hotel room where we took a wonderful and much needed nap. We walked around town a little bit more when he woke up and spent some time with Josh's parents and his sister Kristen before heading home. Here are some pictures from our adventure! Enjoy!

Jumping off of this turtle was one of his favorite things to do in the kid area!
