We spent our second day in Houston at the Downtown Aquarium. We had so much fun so beware there are lots of pictures.
Emma is so cute, I saw this boat and I told Emma to sit in it so I could get a picture and she said "-K- Mom you ready, check this out." and then she pulled this pose....where does she get this? :)
Aaron and Emma pulling their fish faces.
Chloe could not get enough of petting the sting rays. Emma was scared, but Chloe loved it! We had to keep telling her to be soft because she kept trying to grab them. They were the friendliest sting rays I have ever seen. They were born in captivity so they are used to people and they would literally jump out of the water to get you to pet them. It was really cool!
They even had some white tigers that we got to see them feed.
Outside the aquarium they had all these rides for the kids. We got our money's worth and went on them over and over and over. We got to ride the train, carosel, ferris wheel and another ride that is like the Superman that shoots you up and down.
I was surprised that Emma wasn't scared of the "Superman" ride, she absolutely loved it! Chloe was crying that she couldn't go on it, but once she saw Emma laughing and screaming Chloe started laughing too.
The guy running the ride felt bad for Chloe so he let her go on it too. She had a blast!
They also had this great place with fountains for the kids to run around in to cool off.
I love this picture of Emma on the train ride. When you pass this lake the Jaws music starts and then this shark pops out of the water and it scared us to death.
At the end of the day we were still up to some miniture golf. Texas is a Great place for a vacation, so come out and see us!
