Family in Dallas continued

Tuesday

Today we went to the Dallas Aquarium ( http://www.dwazoo.com/aquarium.html ). This is the second time I have been, the last was with the sis when she was over in October 2007 but it was still pretty cool. They have it set out so that top floor is like the rain forest with monkeys, bird etc allowed a free run of the place and them works it way down the floor to the bottom of the sea. As you can see from the picture Shaun has a taste for the exotic and wanted his picture taken not with the snakes or alligators but with a man eating...... Duck! :)





I tried hard, but no amount of persuasion would make the brothers swim with the sharks... next time I'm going to try the kissing the rattle snake line :)



Thursday

The adventure continued with a trip to the zoo. Again I have been there before but for me animals can be funny, especially the Zebra. (fyi my American friends, this is pronounced with a zed not a zee.... :) ) OK, so a Zebra might not be any ones first choice when asked what is the funniest animal... but then you were not raised with a Papa like mine who had a, well, his own style of humor! As I was growing up he told me that a Zebra is only a Horse with it's Pajamas on... you believe every thing your wise old grandfather tells you as your growing up right? I've told enough, admitting the age I found out the truth would just be to much! :) RIP Papa you old s*it :)





I have a favor to ask, If anyone has the ability to Photo shop extra chins out of pictures please let me know, I will pay handsomely :)
