We knew that we were going to be spending Christmas in Arkansas. However, this year we decided that we wanted to enjoy the trip rather than drive it straight through in one day. So we planned a few side trips, the first was the aquarium in Gatlinburg, TN.
Glen walked into the building and in the lobby there is a fish tank. He would not leave that fish tank. He kept pointing to the fish and telling me "mommy, see fish" "I see fish" and over and over and over. I kept trying to keep him going past the entrance because there were more fish, but he did not want to leave. I am sure that we spent about 10 minutes looking at the fish tank.
The kids were amazed at the fish.
Both big and small.
It was an amazing building and the kids always had something to see and do.
Grace and Glen loved being "in" the aquarium. All of the fish in this tank were the fish from the movie Nemo.
Here you can see Nemo swimming in front of Grace.
Glen got to touch the horseshoe crabs. He loved it. He wanted to touch them over and over and over and he kept pulling his sleeve up which meant that he wanted to touch them again.
Grace was willing to touch this horseshoe crab, but none that were actually alive.
While at the penguins, Glen found a little dome window that he was able to sit in and be right there in the action with the penguins.
At the gift shop Grace got a stuffed Nemo fish. Glen got a orange hat (that a month later, he still wears everywhere!)
What a fun day. After we left we headed to Nashville. And the trip continues...
