No School Today - Georgia Aquarium

Last Friday the kids daycare/school was closed, so I told Hatcher we could either go to the Zoo or the Aquarium. In hindsight, I should have only offered the Aquarium...with it being near 100 degrees outside and the Zoo being all out in the open...outside...in the hot southern heat! Thankfully Hatcher chose the Aquarium. At first Derek was going to be at work, but surprised us all by getting some time in the morning to join us to the Aquarium. It was a good day to go as the crowds were light and everyone was in a good mood. The boys loved it! Hatcher has been really big into sharks lately. Every night before he goes to bed he requests tickle time with Daddy and takes on the role of a shark, either a fight shark, a whale shark or hammer-head shark. It is too funny. So, that is all he wanted to see at the Aquarium. We saved it for last since we knew he would want to stay in that section of Aquarium the longest. Aidan liked most of the fish. All the fist are "Nemos" so - anything swimming right by or in front of him was a huge highlight.

Hatcher was so excited that he picked out his dolphin shirt to wear that day - and had Aidan wear his Octopus shirt. It is amazing how much they think about stuff at this age. We had such a good time and we were home before it was time for a nap.
