Austin Aquarium Trip

To kick off the long weekend, we took a family trip to the Austin Aquarium. This was actually my second time visiting the aquarium. I first went when were new to Austin and I was working for the school district. While it was fun to check it out with my students, it was also really stressful. I had the 4-6 year old group which made all of the field trips challenging. However, going with my own little family was so much fun! Ava pretty much slept the whole time but it was sweet to see Addie’s eyes grow wide in excitement as she saw all the animals. The Austin Aquarium isn’t what you might expect if, like me, you’re a California transplant but it is still a fun activity with lots for little ones to see and do. In addition to the marine life, the aquarium also has various reptiles, birds, lemurs, and kangaroos! They also have a small indoor playground for kids which Addie really enjoyed. Here are a few pictures from our first trip as a family. Addie has already asked to go back so I think another trip is in our near future!
