Dallas Aquarium!

So I just thought Lola would love the Dallas Aqaurium after Kebby and I discovered her love for turtles out at Northpark.  Plus she is over the top in love with Finding Nemo so she knows about fish and Dallas Aquarium type things.  Even Elmo has been on the back burner, which I finally was coming around to giving her that Elmo birthday party, but it may not even be her thing by then.  So long story short- she was scared of the main parts because of all the water and bird noises but loved the downstairs aquarium part. 

Pictures:

Just arrived and super curious…

She’s trying to figure out if we are good excited or bad nervous… she isn’t too sure…

Checking out some birds…

Uh-oh, not quite as happy as we thought she would be… doesn’t like the alligators.  Who does?

These things are weird…

Lola likes Northpark turtles better than these.

Don’t you love her uneasy little look on her face?

Aquarium Time!

Nonna stops to give the fish some lovin’

Lola is very interested…

They found a turtle!

Lola didn’t like Kebby by her fish.

Is Lola destined to be a an Aquarium Keeper?

Lola decides to crawl along with the turtle…

This was grossing me out, but I let her do it.  But don’t think for a second those pants didn’t get washed immediately upon walking through our door.

Things got a little R rated so we had to leave to go find Nemo…

Smile Lou Lou

We found Nemo!

This guy scared me to death…

This is Ba as a fish.  Haha

This is Kebby… an octupus.

Lola was telling Kebby to swim through the glass…

Lola loved to swim like the fish…

They are hiding from the fish, I think.

And the best part was Nonna got pooped on!  We kidded Kebby about it the whole time because she has been pooped on so many times, but the birds spared her and got Nonna instead!  They said it doesn’t actually happen that much and Nonna got a free shirt considering Kebby and I made such a scene laughing hysterically at her.

A little bathroom trip then off to see the Flamingos.

 

Thanks to mom, I was going to get out of this great adventure without it costing me a thing until I made the mistake of walking into the gift shop with Lola.  She spotted a stuffed Nemo and turtle and we weren’t leaving without them.  I gave in and thought she looked super cute carrying around her favorite movie stars.

Since Kebby and I were in such a great mood, we kidnapped mom the rest of the day and went to Magiannos and Northpark to shop.  We had a great time and it was a great day.  It’s fun to do fieldtrips for me Lola.

Thanks Aunt Kebby and Nonna for going with us!

P.S.

This is what I looked like the last trip here… one month before Lola was born.  I was huge!!!
