tuesday we went to the dallas world aquarium. it was a really neat place with a rainforest like atmosphere. the kids always love animals. below is zach looking at a huge manatee.
they had a tunnel you walked through with sharks and other large fish swimming above you. it was really neat, although at any time you felt that the tunnel could come crashing down on you!
audrey liked those sharks!
this black jaguar was just pacing back and forth in his cage. everytime he walked away the kids would go up to the glass, then he would come back and they would jump back. he was very intimidating.
audrey loves anything that is pink, especially the pink flamingos!
the next day brian had the brilliant idea of taking the kids to the imax theatre. the showing, he thought, was sea creatures, but when we got there, it was actually called sea monsters. it was a little scary for them, so we ended up leaving early, and they were nice enough to give us a refund! we got lost in dallas on the way home, so that made for one fun day.
thursday we headed on to the state fair (free tickets, thanks mom!). i carried kenzie while brian pushed the other two... we now officially have 2 thumb suckers. she finally found it, and now sucks it often. (the orthodontists are going to love us!) 
the petting zoo was fun. audrey stuck her head through that opening that her hand is in now. when one of the baby goats saw her, he came at her. she tried to pull her head out, but forgot that it wouldn't come out unless you turned your head, and she was stuck. i'm not sure if the goat head butted her or not, but it was pretty funny (she was so freaked out).
brian took zach and audrey on the ferris wheel. i am severely afraid of heights so i waited down below. then they got to ride on one kid ride, and they chose a short little boat ride. why do they have to rip you off at the fair? there are enough people coming through to make a lot of money with out being ridiculously expensive!
the girls!
the boys!!

Also, I do have a yummy recipe for Chicken Tortilla Soup that you could add rice to for the kiddos! :) Ours love it, and it has no milk, sour cream, or butter!
