Lainey and Cheeto

We had a really fun visit a couple weeks ago when my mom, Lainey, came in town. We spent Saturday morning at the Dallas World Aquarium checking out the fish, sharks, penguins and leopard. Greg and I have been wanting to bring Kennedy here since we've heard nothing but rave reviews. It is on the pricier side of family attractions, so we wanted to wait until she was old enough to walk around and enjoy it. I think her favorite exhibits were the Monkey Island, shark tank and the penguin area. She loved "reading" the map and telling us where to go next.

The only exit is through the gift shop and Lainey let Kennedy choose a surprise. Kennedy carefully surveyed the landscape and made immediate and intense bond with a little stuffed leopard. When we got to the car and we asked what its name was, she thought for a second and said, Cheeto.

You would think she would have worn herself out with all the walking and excitement, but with Lainey in town, there was no way she was going to nap and miss any of the fun.
