Friday at Moody Gardens

This past friday we went down to Moody Gardens Palm Beach early. We got there and we practically had the place to ourselves. We have had a few nights of bad thunderstorms so I think Galveston got one the night before cause it looked a bit messy. We were going to stay for a few hours then go. Hailey being Hailey goes poopy at the most inopportune times. About 45 mins before we were planning on starting to leave she goes. As we realize Glenne asks Hailey if she wants to see the penguins at the aquarium. Of course she is all for it. So we go and we get changed and go to the aquarium. This time she was not extremely tired where she actually stopped and checked things out, bad thing...the battery on the camera died while we were still at palm beach.

**non hailey subject* There was a little boy (looked maybe 2 or just a little older then 2 there with his mom and someone else along with I'm guessing almost 1 yr old little sister), he had a suit on with the vest inside it. Glenne and I both noticed him wandering into the water all by himself, but did not notice anyone keeping an eye out on him. He swims out to the middle where the umbrella water fall is goes under and swims back before one of these 2 women he is with comes to the edge of the water to check on him. It took at least 5 mins or more for him to do that!! No one that was responsible for him was keeping an eye out. There are lifeguards there..but that does not mean that you can not keep an eye on your child. I noticed a few times that he would almost roll where his face would be under water. It bothered us both but did not have the gumption to say anything. I would have run if he was in trouble to save him though!! At one point we saw him with an adult and heard him talking and he did not talk as well as Hailey. He still used a pacifier too. Glenne thought he was at least Hailey's age or older. He was cutie too!! Hailey was really confused by what he had in his mouth when she saw him with his pacifier ...she does not know what they are since she never used one. It just really upset us seeing that little boy with no attention. I just had to write about that**

Now back to the regulary scheduled Hailey programing.........Picture time!

Building a tower..Hailey's version of a castle for the Princess
Watching everyone swimming

Checking things out.............

She lined all these buckets up herself, came over and told me that they were heavy. I asked if she need help. I was told "no stay there, Hailey fill up" and she picked up her watering cans and filled them up. She is just too smart that girl of mine!

Working hard playing.....action shot

Ok....as I said...the camera battery died. These last 2 shots were at the aquarium from my cell phone. I did not get any of the sharks but I will next time with the real camera. They had sharks, big fish,baracuda, and a big sea turtle. Here is the picture of the sea turtle swimming above us and swimming away.
