Chuck E Cheese and Oktoberfest







Yes, we've been putting off the dreaded adventure to Chuck E Cheese as long as possible, but Madison kept begging that we go, so................we went. She was terrified at first and just wanted to be held for the first 20 minutes that we were there. Eventually, she warmed up to the place and had fun playing the games and eating pizza. I think her favorite part of Chuck E Cheese was getting a balloon - she loooooves balloons right now! Later that afternoon, Chad took us to Addison's Oktoberfest. I had no idea people brought young kids to a place of beer and partying, but there were actually lots of kids there! They had a kid stage with all kinds of performances, including a clown. They also had a carnival and a sprayground, so Madison had a great time!

The Dallas World Aquarium




This weekend we toured the Dallas World Aquarium. We got there as it opened for the day, so it wasn't that crowded yet, which was great! We saw everything from penguins and monkeys to sharks and stingrays. Madison was fascinated by all the animals, but got a little scared when we got to the walk-thru aquarium tunnel. She especially panicked when she saw a shark coming right at her! We managed to get a few pictures inbetween the panicking =)
