It's Spring Break! We are trying to squeeze as many fun things into one week as possible. Spent one beautiful day in Chattanooga with friends. Went to the Aquarium, had a picnic, saw the IMAX movie Wild Ocean and had ice cream at the end of the trip. So much fun. We wore ourselves out!
The Thompson's and the Hill's
Touching the Stingrays and Sharks.
Trying to touch the River Sturgeon
Reed's sad because he couldn't touch the sturgeon.
Exploring outside the aquarium.
Chillin'
Horsing around.
Closing out the trip with a refreshing ice cream cone.
