Downtown Aquarium Fun

On Friday we went with The Murdock Family (Blake's mom and dad, brother Ben and his family and his brother Scott and his family) to the Downtown Aquarium. We had sooo much fun together. I was impressed with the exhibits of the fish. We got to touch stingrays and see humongous fish and snakes (gross) and tarantula! We saw tigers and eel and sharks! We had fun riding the ferris wheel and the train! It was a great day! We went to eat afterward and  eventually that night we made it to see The Curious Life of Benjamin Button! ( I thought it was entertaining but did it really have a purpose???)  Our day at the Aquarium was a wonderful time and we were so happy to have been invited! 

Look how very sweet! Bella was making a wish while throwing a coin into the fountain. Blake's father, Lynn, is so wonderful with the girls as is Blake's mom.  We count their love in our many blessings. 

Look how HUGE this fish was! 

We got to see them switch out the tigers! After the switch they fed this girl! I was impressed with how close the Tiger came to the glass. The feeding was amazing. 

We all got to ride on the Giant Ferris Wheel! I am so afraid of heights but this is pretty fun. 

Blake, Ken, Cali and I rode in this gondola. Brae rode with Scott and Aly and Bella rode with The Murdocks!

My hair got so jacked up with the darn humidity that day!!! Uuggh, Houston! Anyway, Cali looked too cute to NOT put this picture up. 

This was the Shark Adventure Train Ride. We got to ride under the 'shark tunnel'. I won a bet while standing in line for this! Thanks for paying up Blake with a lovely shoulder massage! I bet that we would get on the next train! I barely won when we slid in with the rest of the family when the conductor tried to get Blake, Brae and I to wait.

Dinner at Taco Bell after! We all had fun "relaxing" at this restaurant. :)

 Brae, Cali and Ken sat at their own table and behind them were Ben, Sara, Kaleb and Dylan. Bella sat at her own table for awhile then joined Ben and Sara's table for cinnamon twists.
