Dallas World Aquarium

We celebrated Memorial Day (May 31) this year by visiting the Dallas World Aquarium. It was Corina's first trip to the aquarium. I can't say she loved it, since being only 2 months old she really didn't care. However she did enjoy all the different colors and sounds. Lukas, of course, enjoyed everything. At one point he heard music that sounded to him like a whale, and that put him on a whale hunt. I was afraid about 5 minutes into the trip that he wasn't going to even try to enjoy the aquarium because he was sitting in the stroller (he refused to walk because the stroller was quicker) determined to find the whale. Thankfully he decided that all the other animals and fish were worth seeing, especially since there is no whale at the aquarium. The alligators might have been his favorite part of the trip, but to know for sure you'd have to ask him since his answer changes every 5 minutes.

What more could a "geek in training" ask for than touchscreens?!



Corina wanted to be held most of the time so she could SEE!





He's pointing out the large lizard in there.





Looking and listening is exhausting!

Lukas found a book and a chair in the gift shop. Who needs to buy it when you can read it right there?!
