Hurrication pictures

So, despite the fact that I had one kid with a constant stomach ache and the runs, and another who projectile vomited on me more than once every day, we tried to make the most of our "hurrication" in Dallas. We went to the Dallas Zoo one day. If you haven't been, skip it. It's named the biggest zoo in Texas, and it may very well be but in my opinion it's a whole lot of nothing. Lots of trees, lots of hills, lots of walking, not many animals. The kids had a ball though, so that's all that matters. Another day we went to the Dallas World Aquarium. You should check this one out if you're there, VERY cool. Sort of pricey, but the most unique aquarium I've ever been to. It's several stories of winding paths and it looks like you're outside in a rain forest. Here are some pictures from the week:

Jacob and his Texas sized breakfast. ;)

The highlight of the zoo trip for Jonah, getting to pet a pig. Here's a question for y'all in the Golden Triangle: where (within a reasonable distance) can I take him to see piglets? It would TOTALLY make this kid's day to hold a baby pig, he's been obsessed with pigs since before he was two. Leave a comment or shoot me an email if you have any ideas.

This is what Caleb did for most of the zoo day, so this is the only picture of him.








Jonah and his souvenir from the zoo. A pig. Imagine that.
At the aquarium:

This is what it normally looks like when I try to take a picture, we always have about 8 like this and maybe one semi normal one.

And because there's only one picture of him in this post, and because he's cute when he's not spewing formula all over me:

The aquarium looks cool! Is that a penguin tank?
