the mote

We made it to Florida after a long day of traveling on Friday. The kids were amazing the whole time (well except for a SMALL incident with Reagan). Many of the passengers complimented the kids- one lady even said that she had never seen such well behaved children (they are amazing but she must not get out much). We started off our Saturday with a trip to the Mote Aquarium. We love going there. It is small but perfect for children. Their favorite things are the touch tank, the rays and the sharks (oh, and the manatees and turtles). Did I mention that we love going to the Mote?! We took a class on Eels then Grandma and Grandpa Swank met us there. We went to Marina Jack, had lunch, played in the fountains and at the park. It was a fun morning.
