Our Last Hurrah...

Just call me crazy now! Last week, Paul David was looking at the book I made when we went to Sea World. He kept saying, "I wanna see the fish. I wanna see the sharks!" Well, I got this hair brained idea to take him to the Aquarium Downtown in lieu of Sea World. I was feeling really bad that pretty much life as he knows it is about over. Anyway, Paul was onboard and planned this whole great day for us.

Check out this alligator...it was just floating in the water...kind of reminded me of me in the pool. I thought this was a pretty cool picture, too with the reflection and all:

Touching a crab:

WHOA...big white Tiger...at the Aquarium????

Then we rode this:

And saw these swimming ALL around us:

After we battled about a thousand kids on field trips, we decided it was time for a break and lunch. We went and caught this:

and rode to the Medical Center where we had some yummy burgers at Miller's Cafe.
Paul David has been begging to ride the "Bullet Train" as he puts it. That's what we're here for...making dreams come true!

When we got back to the Aquarium, the field trips had all headed back to school, so we were able to ride the Shark train twice without ever getting off.

I'm not sure what's going on with Paul David and pictures lately, but his HANDS are in his FACE in a ton of them...driving me nuts.

Anyway, this picture made the whole trip worth while...all the aches, pains, and pure exhaustion I'm feeling right now all go away when I look at this picture:

and this one:

He was saying, "Sharks! Sharks!" in case you couldn't read his lips!

I got him on the carousel to pick an animal to ride. He beelined it to the bench:

Last trip through the fish house...I got him in the scuba diver:

I'm so glad we did this today. It was way worth my weekend recovery time!
