What a fun Weekend! :)


We had a wonderful weekend in the cabins at Desoto State Park and then on Saturday we went to the Tennessee Aquarium. Needless to say Gentry had a completely wonderful time! **DISCLAIMER - Some of these pictures are not the best quality. I had a hard time figuring out the right setting for a extremely excited 3 year old in a very dark enviroment. Any suggestions are greatly appriciated!**

The picture above is Gentry "petting" one of the pinguins through the glass. The pinguins loved all the attention and would stay right at the glass from time to time as if trying to please the children. It was adorable!

The next picture is one of my favorites. In this particular shot you can't see any of the large turtles or sharks but there were many in this tank. Gentry had a longer attention span at this tank than most adults that I saw. He loved watching the fish swim back and forth and waiting for the sharks to come back by from time to time.



Picture on the left are some large jelly fish that I became enthralled with watching. They were so hypnotic! I'm glad the picture turned out like it did.

No, Gentry is not petting a fish. . . this was a photographic mural (not sure that is the right word) that I asked him to pose for me in the lobby. He was such a good sport.










Look closely at what this little gator is sitting on, when we first looked it took us a minute to see the full picture. Isn't it sweet?






We all had a wonderful time. I did get a little worn out from all the walking but there were ample places to rest and watch my men enjoying all the amazing sites. I would suggest this little day trip to anyone! More pictures from the rest of our weekend later. . . .
