Anniversary Get-Away

Nine years ago I married my best friend, and I have been the most blessed person since. To celebrate, we had a get-away in Big D. We had a great time and wanted to share some pics.

Our main event was taking the babies to the Dallas World Aquarium. They loved it. Of course, my favorite exhibit was the black-footed penguins. Though the smell was a bit pungent.
B explained to Colton that if sting-rays and turtles can co-exist in the same environment, so can he and his sister.
The fairy penguins were too cute. But not as cute as Colt and Ellie.

The flamingos were really loud. We stayed and watched them for awhile.

We waited for the jaguar to turn around. But she was too busy licking some yummy frozen fish. Ellie would stick her tongue out and lick every time she saw the cat's tongue lick the ice block. Really funny.
Later that afternoon, we went for a swim. Ellie wanted me to put the camera down and take her cover-up off so she could get in the pool. We are working on patience. Colton had to sit and dry off after his swim. He was showing off his buff bod for two cute little girls in the pool. All dried off and ready to go chow now.Colton and Elliette had just as much fun walking around the hotel. And around, and around, and around, and around...
The EXIT sign was a must stop during each lap.
The fountain was also a frequent visit.
