Saturday morning we got up early thanks to our human alarm clock and ate some free continental breakfast at the hotel. Then we were off to the aquarium! Mitchell's fav. part were the sharks of course, i absolutely loved the penguins! They are funny creatures! We explored the aquarium for a couple hours then headed outside to let Mitchell play in the water feature that they have outside of the aquarium-it looks like a river! After that we walked up a VERY steep hill to get to the pedestrian bridge which goes over the river! On the other side there are restaurants, a carousel, and water fountains! By the time we got back to the car i was a whee bit tired!
After playing in the water fountains, we went back to the hotel and took a good nap! Then headed to eat some Mexican and to the mall! When we got back Mitchell and John swam in the pool and we acting like the penuins diving in the water!
Keeping a distance from the stingrays! Mitchell says when he's older and brave that he will touch them! :)
The first few pictures are a little dark-the camera wasn't on the right setting!

He got to help release a bunch of butterflies!
Showing me the butterfly on his finger! One was just hanging out on his head for a bit!

Headed to the car! Daddy was a little tired! Mitchell was feeling great!Sunday morning we had another round of the free breakfast, then headed to the Chattanooga Zoo. We got in for free since we are members at the Nashville Zoo, which was very nice! The zoo isn't quite as big as ours here, but you can see the animals up close a lot better! Mitchell's favorite was a parrot that was talking to him. I took video but forgot to take a picture! We had to go back to that parrot like 3 times!
Has anyone seen these wild animals? They are on the loose!
Awww thats a cute little tiger!
Mr. Monkey!
