This is me & and my brother, James. We took the children to Georgia Aquarium and my brothers family went with us, his wife, Carrie, and daughter, Alyssa (who is Josiah's age).The lake across the road was frozen over, and I walked out on it a few times. I let Josiah walk out with me the one time, but not very far.The children are petting stingrays and baby hammerhead sharks. Here we are petting the horseshoe crabs, star fish and pincushions (how so you pet those??).This is the big tunnel aquarium. We walk through and the huge whale sharks, and goliath groupers swim over head, along with lots of others. This room where the children are all sitting is where we seem to sit the longest. There are so many different animals swimming around that its hard to get bored. Enormous stingrays, and mantas, the list goes on and on..
Right where I needed them, in a cage!!! :)Stonewall was so cute sitting by the penguins!!!And some nice man offered to take the picture so that I could be in it! Wasn't that sooo nice! And here is me out on the frozen lake. So, for anyone who watched the news this night, yes, the night I'm on this lake, I have to make a few points. First off, if you didn't watch the news, this same day three boys in a different subdivision on a different lake fell in. Two didn't make it out. That being said, 1.I am only 1 small person, not 3 big boys. 2.I did not play on the ice, I was very careful and watched for cracking. 3.I was not out in the middle. That being said, Nick and James were not all that happy with me, since they didn't think it was the brightest idea to start with. =) Maybe next time I'll try it where it freezes a little harder!
It looks like y'all had alot of fun.., I am glad y'all got to get away for a day or so. :)
ReplyDeleteNaw Ms. Karen, you just need to come up here to the big AK and get on some of our lakes!! For days now we've been watching 3 VEHICLES (with the owners of the vehicles and then some) sit around a drilled hole (forget the crack to worry about, they intentionally put these hole (s) in the ice)or two ON LAKE WASILLA!! I was thinking of pullin my Yukon out and see how the fishin was comin, but we hadn't a moment to spare. It was great to drive by and see though ;) If my camera were working, I'd a taken some pics to show off :D
ReplyDeleteIt was nice to see your brother. I always hear about him from momma C, now there's a face. Everything looks fun. Love ya'll,
Ms. Elsie
Mrs. Karen,
ReplyDeleteDon't listen to Elsie you don't have to go to Alaska to walk on the ice, just come to michigan. The crazy nuts drive on the ice here to and most of the time our weather is the same as Alaska's BURRRR!!:) Anyway I started a blog its not much yet I have to figure it out still. Its mamajanesfirmfoundation check it out. I love to see all your pictures and once we get moved we will have some too. Love, Angie
Okay Mrs. Karen - let me just say that you are brave and it would have taken a lot of convincing words to talk me in to walking out on the lake - okay, maybe not a lot, but the thought of the water below is "chilling". I am glad to see that you were able to take a little vacation... we would love a vacation, but our goal is to go somewhere a little sunnier than where you went... need I say more? Miss you all! Love seeing the updated pictures!
ReplyDeleteeek about the ice!
ReplyDeletebut that aquarium looks awesome! we have one here in houston but the only time you get to go through the tunnel is when you take the train ride. and you are not in it for very long. completely bummer.
family time is the best time!
