So, now that our little one isn't so little we decided that it'd be a good dollar spent to take her to the local aquarium again. She loved it before but it was a bit monotonous for a two year old and they've doubled the size and stuff with the new addition.
Problem. Admission costs way too much for us all to go and I'm not about to make one of us parents miss out, plus it takes longer than her attention span to go through it all and get as much of your money's worth out of it. Forget it.
Or maybe not. The Family pass for the year is actually less than what it would cost for us to go twice. Done. And we can take 7 children with us. This has been great, but I'd like to go more. I think we'll hit the Imax soon and see the polar express or something with her. I think they want us to buy stuff in the gift shop, but it's all touristy and she's got the only thing she'd want from there for her birthday.
They have a new shark/sting ray touch tank, real "Dori and Nemo" fish, and a live butterfly world. I still think the jelly fish are the coolest, or at least tied with those other similar things that have lights running down their sides like runs around the flashing marquees (sp?). Vegas can't even come close or even fireworks. God's creation is so matchless in wonder and awe-inspiring-ness.
One time Levi took Analeasa and her favorite friends (a wonderful family from church who are older than she, but don't seem to mind her antics) to see it all while I went out with their mother for a much needed break. That was great. I think it will be money well spent by the time the year is up.
Please tell Mr. Ivey that Tressie wants to go...and that her mommy and you "deserve" a much-needed lunch out!
And, girl, it's time for you to post some more to your blog (I just came across it from Moriah's blog)...but if you're like me, I've hardly had a chance to write anything all summer long! I'll just have to create one post to cover the entire 2007 summer! I know that y'all have been super busy too!
