Last Saturday Stephen and I went with Landon and Easton to the Georgia Aquarium. Easton has been wanting to go for a very long time. We had decided to go on Saturday and then when the day finally arrived the bigger kids started wanting to bail on our family activity. They convinced us that they just didn't want to go. So we said, "Fine, we'll just save money and stay home if no one wants to go." Well, the tears started to flow and Easton became very upset. Right then and there I decided that it wasn't fair that he doesn't get to do things because the big kids have already done it or don't want to do it. We were outta there and on our way to the aquarium in downtown Atlanta. It was a great time and we all really enjoyed ourselves. Here's Mom heading down a slide that shoots out of a Whale's mouth.
Easton and Landon look like they are in the tank with the fish.
It was cool to be able to touch the sea anemone and the sea cucumbers. They felt rough like sandpaper.
The cool people that went to the aquarium. (Dad's taking the picture)
Check out the huge fish going past. The kids love this spot. It is this huge clear glass wall that looks into the hugest tank of assorted fish that you have ever seen. There are four grand whale sharks that cruise around in here.
This is one of the whale sharks.
My good-looking boys in front of the tank.
Loved this tank full of very colorful, vibrant fish.
This tank contained the most amazing, beautiful jelly fish just floating up and down. It's too bad they sting you because they are really fascinating to see.

  1. Way Way Way cool! And I have never been there,, duh! I'm glad you guys decided to go for Easton. That is important. I would love to take Kaitlyn there someday and show her all of Nemo's friends in the ocean. Are there Nemo's there?

  2. Yes, there are millions of Nemo's and also of other species. It is a very interesting place. Looking through the glass walls made me sea sick.
