Aquarium and Easter

This past weekend Lukas' Mema and Grandad came up to visit, so we all decided to go to the Dallas World Aquarium. I must start out by saying that the place needs a new name. It was really nice (and the prices said they thought so too), however I thought it was more of a Rainforest Adventure than an Aquarium. As I said though it was really nice, and very pretty. We saw a variety of monkeys, a variety of birds, a river otter, of course a variety of fish, turtles, penguins, sharks, a snake, and many other things I don't remember. Lukas (thanks to the fact that he went with his grandparents and not just his parents) left with a book (which has beautiful illustrations), 3 stuffed animals (one of which will wait for him in Houston), and a t-shirt (which is really cool).

Ready to see the Aquarium!



Not sure what they're both pouting about, but they're doing a good job.

"Mommy, these baby sting rays are just like me!"



Uncle Ryan, Aunt Ashley, Mommy, Lukas (who thinks the waterfall is much more interesting), and Daddy all pose for a picture.



"Aquariums are exhausting too!"

Lukas got to celebrate his first Easter this year. He got Easter baskets from Mommy and Daddy and from Mema and Grandad. He also got a bunny from Great-Grandma and Great-Aunt Nancy and one from Mimi and Papa. He was able to hunt eggs at Great-Grandma's house on Saturday, and even put some of them in the basket (although most he just picked up and put back).

A confetti storm...Lukas says, "I'm leaving!"
