Over President's Day weekend, we went to the aquarium in New Orleans. We got there right as it opened, hoping to beat the crowds that were in New Orleans for Mardi Gras weekend. We were so glad that we did. When we came, there wasn't a single person in line to get in. When we left, it was around the block! The boys had a great time. As soon as we got there, they were both running from one thing to the next shouting, "Wow! Cool! Awesome! Look at this one!" They were making us laugh. There is something special about seeing your kids so excited with pure joy across their faces.
We thought the lion fish was cool.
There was also an outdoor bird exhibit. Anderson was patiently waiting for a bird to land on his little stick.
One of the birds started to crawl up Anderson's hand and he felt it's sharp little claws. He quickly pulled his hand away and said in an angry voice, "You stinky bird!" That is his new saying for anyone or anything that makes him mad. "You stinky Dad." or "You stinky Jack." (Emphasis on the stinky)
Nice, right? I guess there are worse things he could say.
We went and saw "Born to be Wild" in 3D at the imax theater. Anderson would rip his glasses off and give out a little squeal when something looked like it was coming for him. He didn't quite understand the whole 3D concept. Jack on the other hand, loved it. It was his first 3D experience and he thought it was awesome. He is getting so big, and I think it's fun.

WOW!!! What a neat place. Kinda reminds me of the rain forest we went to in Cleveland with the birds flying everywhere. Gotta love the 3D glasses. Looks like they had a great day. They are both getting so big and SUPER handsome! I want to kiss their faces right now!!!
So fun! We love the aquarium down there. I should have gotten back to you quicker with fun stuff to do down in NO! There really is a lot to see and some GOOOOD places to eat! It's definitely not a clean city but fun and entertaining! Let me know if you go back! It would be fun to meet up sometime!
such cute boys! It is so much fun to have them grow up and be able to experience new things with them! Little boys are the best!!
Those boys are such a fun age right now! How fun! And I want to go to New Orleans bad. Glad you got to go!
That aquarium looks so awesome. I loved those pictures and stories of the boys with the birds. They are hilarious! What fun boys you have! :)
