We went to a local water park the other day, and the kids had a BLAAAST!!! 
Ryan got to go on some waterslides, and loved every second of it!  After the first slide he was all smiles and this was his comment,"MOM THAT WAS ROCK AND ROLL!!!"  It made me laugh and I'm not quite sure where it came from.

My Caroline was actually a little more timid, I put her down an enclosed three story slide and we were watching from the top down to the bottom and didn't she here, didin't she her.  Then all the sudden right in front of me I hear, "MOM, I don't like slide, it scary me!"  My cheeky monkey climbed her self back up the slide!!!



We took the train to the Dallas Fair Park Aquarium with some friends last week, and we had a blast despite the hellish heat!  

We didn't check the train schedule before we left and got to the station really early.  The conductor took pity on us mom's and gave the kids a tour of the train.   He let them all sit in the drivers seat and then while we were moving he let them all come up and blow the whistle!!  They loved it!!
Next we were off to the aquarium, the highlight was most definitely the Stingray tank.  I think the kids could have stayed there for hours, which was a good thing because the "aquarium" was tiny!
Ryan was a little unsure the whole time but eventually loosened up, but I think he has watched a few to many Wilds Kratts.  Ry kept telling me, " but mom, they can sting you with their tails."
 One finger, hiding behind Nadia! hahahaha


Mr. Stingray snuck up on Ry and sucked on his fingers......shocked a little.....YES!


Was my Liney Girl fearful? NOPE, not a chance, she would have jumped in and swam with them if I would have let her!

We had a great day,and it got even better because Caroline feel asleep before we got on the train home and slept the whole way home!
