Aquarium Fun

Last week, I got to enjoy a fun day at the Downtown Aquarium in Houston.  They've got this great 2-for-1 deal running on Tuesdays during the summer so my friend and her two kiddos drove down into the city and met up with me for a play date.  I say play date, because I'm pretty sure her kids think that I'm there to play with them.  B noticed the fun water fountain (the kind which shoots up water from the ground) and wanted to go in and play.  His mom said they couldn't because they didn't bring their bathing suits, but next time they'll remember to bring their bathing suits.  B then responds "Jennie will bring her bathing suit too!"  Yes, of course I will....except I'd be the only grown woman frolicking in the water fountain with a bunch of kids.  Not creepy at all...

We got to ride the ferris wheel with great views of downtown Houston.

The kids were a bit camera shy and didn't want me to take their picture, but they wanted me to take pics of Purple Baby and Spiderman.

After a few shots, they warmed up to camera and I actually got to take pictures of the kids:

I love these kids!  They're just so darn cute.

I got them to smile for me while riding the ferris wheel:

After all that fun, we were famished and got some Goode Company BBQ.  Perfect way to finish up a fun outing!
