FISH TANK

It is HOT yall, so playtime outside is nonexistent. So we headed to the Children’s Aquarium in Fair Park. This aquarium is small but perfect for little ones. Plus it is cheap and a good way to get out of the house for an hour or so.  So you may be thinking, why are you are taking a baby to an aquarium?  Let me tell yall, this kid was all about IT and enjoyed watching everything.  He loves to be out and about and loves to watch fish/people/dogs/etc.  We try to go stroller free when possible it is less hassle and easier to get around.  Luckily, I have finally found a baby carrier that Max does not mind and one that he can sit in for long periods of time.  Walking around the aquarium with max close to my chest and Mark by my side was the best way to spend a Saturday.  Both Mark and I enjoyed watching the fish swim carefree in their tanks.  It made us both want a fish tank so BAD!  If we had to describe Max as a fish he would be a piranha fish.  He is so aggressive when it is time for him to eat from his bottle. It is adorable how he goes in for the kill and latches on to the bottle.   


Sarah’s Fav:  Mr. Sea turtle and his buddy {not sure what type of fish it was}. Mr. Sea turtle was injured in netting and his right fin’s had to be amputatedL.  His fish buddy stays below him to help assist him {push’s him up} to get air.  I could have watched these two for hours.

Mark’s Fav:   I enjoyed the Shark Tank (sans Mark Cuban).   We got lots of pictures, and it was great being so close to them.  I liked seeing the cousins of the Hammerhead shark.  I think they were called Crabcrushers.  They have their eyes on each end of their snout, like a Hammerhead.  I also liked getting Max a stuffed Turtle.

Here are some pictures of our day.   And next time you see a plastic bag floating around, please pick it up!  Sea turtles mistaken the plastic bags for jelly fish and choke on them. That breaks my heart. 
Love the Arnold's
