Day 4








We purchased combo tickets to Lego Land and the Sea Life Aquarium.  We headed back to the Grapevine Mills Mall to visit the aquarium.  This time Grandma stayed at home because the lawn care service and the garage repairman were stopping by.  I was surprised how much fun the kids had there. We got there at busy time apparently because we were jam packed into each room with people, once they staff announced they were feeding the sting rays we decided to go on ahead of the group to get away from the crowd.  That idea paid off and we walked through the whole aquarium by our selves!  Cooper is fascinated with sharks lately and even bought a huge book about the different types of sharks at his school book fair a few weeks ago.  There were two exhibits on sharks and Cooper was thrilled!  We read tons of facts and saw a ton of sharks, we even dared to walk the shark plank!  An area that has glass on the ground so you can see sharks!  Beckett was fascinated and laid on the ground for awhile just staring!  Allison enjoyed the trivia game the aquarium offered to answer specific questions at each exhibit.  At the end of the aquarium there was a large indoor playground, petting sea animals area, and 3D discovery short films.  The aquarium was a success all three kids enjoyed it!





Later that night we went to the Dallas Stars vs the Anaheim Ducks hockey game.  My mom stayed with Beckett and we took the big kids to the game.  Going to the game was one of my favorite things we did on this visit to my moms.  We are a fan of both teams and didn't care who won.  In fact I wore the Dallas Stars jersey to the game and Richard wore his Ducks jersey.  We loaded up on a bunch of junk food and never left our seats because it was a wicked awesome game.  The Stars made 3 goals in 53 seconds!  The game ended and the Stars won 6-3!  Cooper has been begging to go back, he had a blast dancing to music and rooting for his team the Stars!
