Oklahoma Aquarium


Earlier this summer while Sean was abroad somewhere (Australia, China, Singapore, who knows...), I loaded the kids up and headed south to Tulsa to spend the weekend with Rick and Kathy. Rick's firm had a summer party at the Oklahoma Aquarium in Jenks, Oklahoma, which embarrassingly I'd never been to, despite the fact that it has been there for quite some time now. So we tagged along, and the kids both loved it, especially Lauren.


The aquarium was really good about having benches so that the kids can have a look, too.




Lauren LOVES turtles, so much so that he wanted to share her favorite toy of the weekend, "Crocodile."  Not sure if turtles and crocodiles are friends in real life, but that was beyond Lauren's concern.



Continuing the crocodile theme of the weekend....
 


Much fun was had over the weekend, and we all left exhausted (me especially).  Lauren cried most of the way home, asking if she could go back to Kakee's house, and telling me that she didn't want to go home with me.  Sigh.
