MAC asked for almost 3 weeks to go to the aquarium! i'm telling you this kid could spend DAYS in them! so we finally took him on Labor Day. it was very nice...not too crowded or hot. he of course couldn't WAIT to get to the sharks! everytime we left an exhibit he would ask "when can we see the sharks?" the photos are a little out of order....
MAC and I in the Aviary Exhibit- they had a TON of different birds milling about. But i like this photo best!!! 
the STING RAYS!!! oh these are fun!!! we had to drag him away! haha!! we stood there for probably 10 minutes and he still wanted to "pet" them more!!! {we probably would have stayed a little longer- except for the obnoxious kid that ended up standing beside him} MAC ALMOST went swimming with the rays!!! HAHA!!!
i just relaly like this photo!!! kinda creepy! he reminds me of that big shark in Nemo- Bruce...i think is his name! the shark exhibit was the last on in the aquarium....we were standing in a "pretend" submarine- like you are at the bottom of the ocean with the sharks...pretty cool. MAC was luvin the "controls."
Booo- this one didn't trun out very well. MAC and I in from of the Marsh Pavillion. in case you can't tell the statue is of 3 otters...very cool! this was as we were leaving and MAC says:
"we can get a picture w/ Mommy, me, BaBoo, and my bag." i said "don't forget Baby J" he said "oh yeah you too {baby}" haha!!!i thought that was pretty funny!
this was as we were getting in the car at the house {i SAID they were a little out of order}. poor BaBoo- he gets a lot of abuse! haha!
this turtle was pretty crazy. he was so still i couldn't tell that he was real at first!! he had "stuff" hanging off of him. he did eventually move and MAC got pretty excited that he was looking at him!
MAC with a HUGE snake!!!!
The otters were really fun to watch! 
More sharks! he said " daddy i want to sit and watch the sharks for a little while." that lasted about five minutes.... til he saw the pretend submarine! i'm sure he was telling BaBoo all about the sharks in this photo!
i'm sure we will be frequenting the aquarium....especially since we bought a membership!! haha!! so i'm sure we will have more photos!! all in all it was a fun day!

HOW FUN!!! Looks like you guys have LOADS to do there. I'm so glad! We sure do miss you guys.
Is that snake real??
I've been dying to take the kids to Atlanta to the aquarium! I think they would LOVE it..and me too! :-)
ole miss mom- no it isn't real- haha! it was the cool exhibit where it seemed like you were the size of a bug and the grass was really tal around. there was also a blue crab, a really weird spider, and a frog{?}...it was cool to look at though. i have never been to the Atlanta Aquarium..but the TN aquarium is cool.... chattanooga would be a fun weekend trip for you guys!!! closer than the beach!!! of course that area hold a special place in my heart- so i am biased!
We have really enjoyed looking at these pictures! Josiah especially loves the one of X petting the sting rays. We have got to take this child to Chattanooga!
