Ripley's Aquarium of the Smokies

Today we took our first field trip of the school year. Discounted homeschool tickets are our new friend! We learned about piranhas, sharks & my favorite seadragons. There is no way  you can visit an aquarium & not stand in awe of what a creative God we have. Which then always leads to the best discussions about our Creator as well as his creations. Lotus was like a sponge today & was really playing the part of homeschool student well. I hope she always looks on the world with such excitement. Killian, although ever the teenage boy, begged to go around just one more time. I think he could have stayed there all day. Sadly we moved on to dinner & a quick drive through the mountains. Now its bedtime; good night!

P.S.  Thanks to Kim & Ron for coming along for the ride & covering the kids tickets. You saved us some money & added to the kids fun. Love ya!!
