The Georgia Aquarium

Sorry it has taken me so long to update ... I told you, I am not good at this blog thing!

I LOVE these grumpy looking fish!!

Almost 2 weeks ago now, Cathy (Mason's Mom) treated us all to a day at the Georgia Aquarium. I was pretty excited as we had not been yet because it is so expensive and then factor in that you have 2 young kids who might melt down at any minute sending you on your way home (and making you be out a lot of money)...!

Surprisingly, the day went FABULOUS!!! Tyler and Isabella both loved looking at all the fish, stingrays, jelly fish, lobsters. etc! I was personally shocked at how in to it Isabella was. I totally expected her to be like "Wow .... fish. OK, let's go now!!". But she really enjoyed looking at the floor to ceiling tanks of fish and all the colors. I HEARD Tyler enjoyed it as well but he was off pulling Cathy in other directions from where we were so I couldn't actually tell you his reactions to everything! But she says he had a lot of fun!

The funniest thing, to me at least, was when we went in to see the 4D movie called "Deepo". It was only about 15-20 minutes long and you got to wear these really cool, and stylish I might add, glasses. The kids were both excited about seeing this animated movie .... until it started! Tyler kinda flipped out! The moment the fish jumped out of the screen and came floating in front of you, he ripped his glasses off! Isabella on the other hand was enthralled and trying to pet those fish in front of her!! The movie theatre was set up where they had real water mist that sprinkled on you at times, real bubbles that came out of the ceiling at times, and this air pump thing that shot air out from under your seat ~ I guess to make everything seem even more realistic. Wow, Tyler was NOT liking that at all! He was ready to leave a few minutes after the show started, especially once the shark made his appearance! But being the AWESOME parents we are, we made him stay! ;) After the movie, Tyler was so thankful it was over and Isabella was begging to go see it again! I couldn't help but snicker at how different these two are from one another!

Anyways, it was a great day.

As you can see from the car ride home, it really wore the kids out!
