We sure had a fun day today at Gatlinburg's Aquarium of the Smokies. It was yet another rainy day, so we headed to the mountains for some fun! We were definitely not the only ones who had this same idea, but the aquarium was not over-crowded. The kids LOVED the outing! We all enjoyed seeing the funny fish, big fish, small fish, colorful fish, sharks, sea horses, octopus, jelly fish, sting rays, etc. The kids really like watching the sting rays as they were very active today. They are graceful as they glide through the water. My favorite is the sea horse. Those little creatures are just too cute! Josiah was brave and touched a horse shoe crab; Mackenzie had asked to touch one and changed her mind at the last minute. :)
We enjoyed some shopping after we were finished playing in the interactive part of the aquarium. Thanks to David for entertaining the kids while I ran in and out of several stores! Stride Rite had a buy one get one half off sale, so both kids have new shoes that only cost $14.99 per pair! We are home now and exhausted from a fun day!

Okay, you guys must have a huge entertainment budget...have you noticed how much fun you've been having lately??? Just kidding. Nice to have some rainy day options, isn't it?
This is one outing I'd love to experience before we leave the area. I think Laura would love it!
Great rainy day outing! We love that aquarium. Glad you guys had fun. Yes, Sara, you guys have to go before you leave.
