Jenks Aquarium.

….. 
Last month we took a little last minute trip to the Oklahoma Aquarium in Jenks. The kids had been here once with my mom when they were very small, but Jeb and I had never been. Reid absolutely LOVES fish (especially sharks) and all things aquatic, so he couldn't wait to go! We decided this would be a fun little day trip to take before school started the following Tuesday. Reid picked out this "really cool" outfit to wear and was super pumped about taking pictures with sharks! 
….. 
LilliAnn was a bit cranky that day and wasn't much into checking out the aquarium. After about an hour, she was bored and ready to move on! 
…..
Reid was in complete awe with the shark tunnel. He wanted to stay in there the entire time! Jeb and I can't wait until the kids get a little older and we can take a trip to Atlantis. There is an amazing shark tunnel at Atlantis and Reid would absolutely love seeing it one day! 
 …..
…..
He kept chasing the sharks, moving from one shark to another saying, "Mom! Mom!" And then smiling really big for a picture. 
…..
Baby Rush loved the shark tunnel too! I love this picture of him looking up at the sharks!
…..
This was showing the actual size of a megladon! Reid couldn't believe it! 
…..
He never gets tired of looking at fish. In our new house, we plan on surprising him with a big aquarium for his bedroom! 
…..
Looking at fish is pretty relaxing! 
…..
The shark petting exhibit didn't open for 45 minutes, and then they were late and it took 20 more minutes…Reid was NOT leaving his front row spot! Sissy was over it, but she took one for the team! #sweetgirl
….. 
So ready to pet some sharks! 
…..
How could you say no to that sweet face?!
….. 
Sis entertained herself with some crazy dance moves! 
…..
…..
After a little cat nap, baby brother was all smiles! 
….. 
…..
I am so glad that I caught this precious moment on camera. LilliAnn's shoe was untied and when I looked back, big brother was hooking her up! So sweet!
…..
We couldn't leave without stopping in the gift shop for another pet shark to sleep with (we already have a camo shark from the Dallas Aquarium), and a baby sea turtle bath toy for little sis.
…..

It was tons of fun! And this is the only shark attack we witnessed!
