SHISH!

When it's cold outside and you have little kids you often wake up thinking "what are we going to do today?". The park is not an option, 'cause it's freezing out. The house is getting smaller by the day, and we've already walked around Walmart a few days ago. Since we're possibly some of the last Atlantans to go to the Georgia Aquarium, we decided my birthday was as good a day as any to go. 

I am not going to bother with any commentary, because the pictures really speak for themselves. Nah. Who am I kidding, half the fun is telling you what happened. 


We froze our *sses off getting inside, and dodged a crazy looking woman [who stepped right in front of Keith as he was taking a picture. Perhaps wherever she is from it means something else when a person stands and points a camera at the rest of their family? Here it means he's taking a picture, lady], and we headed to see the tunnel of shish first. 

The tunnel did not disappoint. Lots of SHISH-ing, and pointing.

And not all of it done by kids. 

After the tunnel, one comes to the giant wall of shish. So peaceful and we all sat mesmerized. And pointed. Sark! OOOOH, sark.

My apologies to the dude in the background. Not the best or most flattering picture of your rear, but at least we didn't capture your face. I did get a cute pic of Keith and Grady ID'ing fish.

We left the deep sea tank and headed to the coral reef.

We stopped in the rivers section for a rest, and we played in the kiddie area. That poor kid stood there for several minutes waiting his turn in the bubble window. Sorry dude. 

And we checked out the jellies.

 

The above picture is possibly my favorite picture of Keith and the boys, ever. Or should I say of Keith, the boys and Pacific Sea Nettles.

A great first visit to the Aquarium! We got annual passes, so you can look forward to more shish pictures in the future.
