The Georgia Aquarium

Besides Willie's graduation, and Caroline's baby blessing, we decided that our big family event in Atlanta would be to visit the Georgia Aquarium!  The tickets were a bit pricey, but thanks to Willie we got an awesome discount and so we took the plunge.  I am so glad we did- we had a grand time!!!
Tori was so excited to be with Grandpa and Nana Harrison- we haven't seen them since last summer!
I love this picture of Tori with London- so cute!!!
Tori was fascinated by the alligators!
What an awesome picture of Tori and Grandpa!!!
We were able to attend the dolphin show- which, I must admit, puts the Indy Zoo dolphin show to shame.  They had singing and a whole bunch of effects to go along with the cool dolphin tricks! Here is our group waiting for the show to start: Front Row: Kim, Jer, and London. Back Row: Grandma Glenna (Krista's awesome Grandma), Nanette (Krista's Mom), Parker, Lincoln, and Dave (Krista's Dad)!  I'm so glad Krista's family came with us- they are all so much fun to be with!!!
Another group: Grandpa, Nana, Anna, Willie, and Henry!
Then there's Garrett, Mommy, Tori, and Grandpa!
Garrett and Mommy were so excited for the dolphin show to start!
Garrett and Grandpa became great friends- this was the first time Grandpa and Nana met Garrett!!!
I love this picture of Tori and Grandpa!
This part of the aquarium was awesome- we got to basically walk through it! Nana got a great picture of me, Tori, Jared, and Grandpa checking out all the neat fish!
 Tori was so excited that we got to see Lucy the whale shark (thanks Diego)!!!
She actually is pretty fantastic!!!
Our sweet boy could only stay awake so long!
Lincoln and Tori were learning a lot!!!
 Every time we go anywhere with fish, Tori always wants to find Nemo.  And thus far we have struck out.  But, I am happy to report that we finally found Nemo!!!
Tori enjoyed lounging on this whale's fin!
They had a section where you could touch different kinds of fish- I was a bit shocked and proud that Tori actually stuck her hand right in there!
Waiting to touch some sharks and sting rays!
We had a fabulous time at the Aquarium today!  I have a feeling that Tori is going to be talking about this one for weeks to come!!!
