Spending Emma's and Ella's Birthday Eve at Grapevine Mills

We spent the Monday before the girls' 6th birthday on a girls' trip at Grapevine Mills Mall! The girls and I took the day off school, and loved every second of it!! We visited The Sea Life Aquarium, ate at The RainForest Cafe, and did lots of shopping! We had a great time, and the mall was deserted!

I didn't know what to think about Sea Life before we visited. I was pretty sure it wouldn't measure up to The Dallas World Aquarium, but we LOVED it! We will for sure be going back!!



This exhibit was so cool!! The room was circular, and the fish seemed to be glowing! They were swimming in a school. There was one little fishy out of line, and Ellie was so worried about him! :)

Listening to the lady talk about the Stingrays...very interesting!


Ellie and a funny fish!


Mommy and El




walking on water was a little nerve wracking! ;)

the girls

Ellie was real scared of this guy until I told her he was like Nemo's teacher! :)




We loved the Seahorses! I told the girl that the daddys carried the babies in their pouches! El's response was that it wasn't a good idea to hang upside down when you're pregnant! Ha!!


teeny baby Seahorses



The girls got to feel a Seahorse called a ChocolateChip Seahorse!



:) Birthday Sisters!


The aquarium had a fun playground!







We left the gift shop without spending any $$!!

We looked into the windows of Legoland...looked fun!

The girls made a SeaLife penny!
