Dallas World Aquarium and random June events

 The weekend after school got out, my parents and I took the kids to the Dallas World Aquarium while Scott was still in Ecuador.  It was a really neat place and we saw lots of cool animals up close. 
The kids and I near the entrance to the Aquarium.  There were all kinds of birds along the walkway leading up to it.
We were able to watch them feed the turtles from a bridge above their pond.
There were some penguins outside, but no matter how hard everyone tried, no one could coax them off their little island in the middle of the exhibit
Avery looking at us through one of the big fish tanks. They had all kinds of fish, sharks, seahorses, jelly fish- basically every sea creature imaginable.
The kids had a lot of fun seeing this manatee up close.  It stayed right by the glass for quite awhile.
There were also monkeys, birds, sloths, and other rainforest animals. The girls really liked this little baby monkey.
They had a neat area for viewing otters.  We got to see them jump, play, swim and eat.   
One night our neighbors across the street came over and said we had better come outside.  Turned out there was a big rat snake crawling up the stone on the front of our house!  With a little help from our neighbor, Scott managed to knock it down and chop it's head off with an axe.
In June, Judson finally gave up his pacifier.  It was a much easier transition than we thought it would be and we were really proud of our big boy!
One of Scott's patients had given him a gift card to Trulucks, so we went out on a special date to celebrate a belated Mother's Day and Father's Day.
