Two little ones that changed my world.

This year I am a mother of a 1st grader and a Kindergarder.  It is funny how two kids are so different.  It is not easy learning how to be a parent.  It isnt easy learning how to be a wife. I became both almost the same time.  I was a only child for 18 years and I dont know the dinamics of having a sibling. It isnt like I can go back on my upbringing to reflect on how to handle problems that arise.  I didnt have to share my time or my toys, clothes, room or my mother. For the most part the girls get along.  They fight with each other just as much as they fight "for" each other.

This picture is from our first ever family vacation.  We went to The Dallas World Aquarium.  We enjoyed it. It was nice to go in and have a break from the exausting heat of Dallas, Texas.  Now we are used to the heat of Texas.  We live in the Houston area. It was somewhat on the pricey side if you are more then a family of 4, which we are, but it was nice to walk in and see almost like an inside small scale zoo.  We were able to be at arms lenght of some of the birds and most of the other animals.  We went to the aquarium that is a tunnel.  It could be alittle overwhelming for some if you have a problem with closed in areas.  I am not a fan of the ocean or what lives in it.  This is as close to ocean life as I will ever get to see or visit so it was a safe place for me.

 

 It is a very family friendly place. I would love to visit again next time I am in Dallas, Tx.

My children were "in love:" with the whole experience.  They got to see sharks, penguins and numerious birds upclose that they would not normally be able to see at an average zoo.
