A Trip to the SC Aquarium


Saturday afternoon we caught Christians first game (pictures soon) and then tried to balance the trip and take the other kids into Charleston for some fun.  Our first stop was the Aquarium.  Grace was very excited about seeing the Madagascar exhibit.  She loves this movie. 

When she saw the lemurs she was glued to the glass watching them and of all the prizes she could get at the souvenir shop on the way out she picked the lemur of course.

 The aquarium is right on the water so took a couple shots in front of the beautiful Cooper River Bridge.  Good shot of Jonathon.

 And Nana and the girls

Me and 3 of my kiddos

Olivia was excited to see the eagle because just like we refer to Grace as our Lion in the Kingdom of God, Olivia is our Eagle.  Olivia also lived at Eagles Wing in China and the children are referred to as Eaglets.. Coincidence I think not.  Olivia picked a stuffed animal eagle at the shop on the way out and a stuffed turtle.  She loved the turtles the most at the aquarium.  Of course her turtle was pink and glittery...lol

Our eaglet...amazing they say an eagles nest can be 5 feet wide and 2,000 pounds

The girls

Love this one, they begged for face painting.  Grace picked the lion/tiger - of course and Olivia a butterfly

 Then we headed down to eat at Bubba Gumps - yummy!  We had hoped to walk through the market but they had already packed up so we we walked out to the pier.
