Monday we went to the World Aquarium in Dallas which was, for me, a big disappointment. It was overpriced for what they had to offer and it wasn't well equipped to handle more than 50 people at a time. It was far too crowded with walkways too narrow and birds kept out of view in cages behind foliage. There were many tamarins but few monkeys and I thought very few fish.
I haven't been to many great aquariums in the US but the ones I have been to surpassed this one in quality, information, comfort, and price. Albuquerque, Omaha, and Los Angeles stand out in my mind as enjoyable aquariums.
I don't think the kids really got anything educational out of the experience, unfortunately.
Tuesday and Wednesday they did school just fine with all of the regular requirements and Thursday they got hit with sickness. My baby was the first to get sick on Wednesday and by Thursday it was crazy with all four sick. I wanted to read to the kids at least and I did have #1 do some school anyway, but most of the time everyone was sleeping.
We got more school books today so we'll start Saxon 2 and some other books on Monday.
