Our family trip to the Dallas World Aquarium!!!!

Mommy and Ave in the rainforest!

Our experience at the "aquarium" was very positive. Although "aquarium" is a bit of a misnomer as it is more of a rainforest/indoor zoo! Avaree lasted a little over two hours though, so we think she did very well! Many of the exhibits (animals) were too small for her to focus on, but she certainly enjoyed all the noises of the wildlife and rainforest! Our favorite animals were definitely the monkeys, the alligator, the sloth (soooo cute!), the penguins and the jaguar! Of course my camera died soon upon our arrival, but we were able to snatch a few pictures with Daddy's phone! Hope you enjoy!

The beautiful jaguar--Avaree's favorite!
Daddy and Ave watching the Mayan performers. Ave thought they were hilarious!

The following video was taken at the Jaguar exhibit! This was (BY FAR) Avaree's favorite part of the whole day! The video is a little quirky, so when it stops just let it load a bit then move it back to where you started. Be sure your volume is up! Avaree LOVED this "Big Kitty!" Hopefully you can hear her sweet voice and see the HUGE grin on her face. She was sad when he went on the other side of his "home." :) We now know that she would LOVE the zoo and we can't wait to take her! We're going to wait until it is a little cooler and then we will have soooo much fun! P.S. Brandon says to tell the grandparents not to freak out...the "kitty" is behind the glass, even though he doesn't appear to be! :) Enjoy!
