Sharks!

For Father's Day we headed over to the aquarium which is a little over an hour away in Chattanooga.  Since Steve has been traveling a lot since his promotion he has seen a lot more of the south then I have, so I was pretty excited for the ride!  It was so beautiful I couldn't stop taking pictures of the rolling hills, farms, and even some cows; overall a relaxing ride :) Once there Olivia couldn't contain her excitement and ran full sprint to the entrance.  We started out by seeing some fish and sharks and to our surprise Olivia loved the sharks, screaming "Sharks!!!Sharks!!"  The aquarium had a great layout with lot's of kid friendly exhibits. Of course Steve and Liv found the only computer/tech display and stood there for a solid 30 min....I guess she takes after the Beane side with the love of technology and gadgets! Maddie was great, napping most of the time in her stroller.  Of course they had a crab exhibit and I clearly am not over my DEATHLY fear of crabs...I broke out in hives just looking at them!!!  One of the exhibits that we really like was a shallow pool where you could touch sting rays and fish..Liv was too afraid to do it but Steve and I did and they were so slimy!!!They had a great butterfly garden where you saw hundreds of butterfly's, that Olivia wanted to talk through about 1,000 times Here are some pictures of our fun filled Father's Day!
Liv got a nap in on the way!

Steve loved me taking pictures while he drove  lol!!
