We took the girls to the Dallas Aquarium today. We had been telling Ava about it for a couple days before. She was so funny, at first she was scared because we said we might see some sharks, she didn't want to go. But after we assured her that they wouldn't be mean or "get" her, and Daddy would protect her she was OK with it. Although she was still a little apprehensive right up until we saw the sharks! Once we left + headed back home, we asked her in the car what her favorite thing at the aquarium was and she said, "the little sharks; not the big ones, but the little ones." For those that don't live here, the aquarium is pretty cool; there is a rain forest on a couple of floor levels above the water; you start at the top and as you head down you go under the water and see the aquatic life. Pretty neat set-up I think.
We also saw some people dressed as Mayans doing some sort of dance; they had some other Mayan exhibits throughout the museum. We were behind them so we didn't get to see the whole dance, but the music was pretty cool.
Ava even danced a little to the music:
Livi almost missed the entire thing! She fell asleep on the way there + didn't wake up until we were almost done. She did get to see the black jaguar (above) and the flamingos though.
It was so cold today too, well only in the 40's/50's (sorry for those in colder climates!). Ava was playing with her hood as Daddy rushed her to the car. She was SO cute, she had such a fun day. Well Daddy + I did too; can't wait to take her to the zoo!!

Love the picture in her hood. Ava is adorable - when Jeff holds her, she looks like him, and when you hold her, she looks like you! Great job, you two!
That looks like so much fun. Ione got some tulips from Gymboree for Christmas too! :) Such fashionable girls (and yes, her shoes are from Stride Rite)!
Oh what cute pictures! You have such neat places to go in Dallas - sort of like "River City" USA, huh? NOT! Maybe I can go to these neat places with the girls when I visit!
