Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium

Today we went to the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium and had a blast. This aquarium is the largest in the world. It houses the largest Whale Sharks in the world also. It was amazing. We wanted to go last Friday, but it was pouring rain, so we took Jesse out of school today and went. As we were leaving it started raining, so we had good timing. You may have seen a previous post about Jesse's class field trip, well this aquarium is the same place, we just didn't get to see it last time. The boys were soooo amazed by this big whale shark, yes INCLUDING Dallas. Then they were all about seeing the dolphin show. It's not quite as great as Sea World, but it was fun. The boys were "WOW"d by the noises they made and the flips. Kayli was just happy as long as she heard music she could dance too. The old Okinawan ladies sitting next to us kept her entertained as well. Within about 2 minutes after getting in the car all 3 kiddos were out cold!!!! We took the expressway home because we were tired too. We got off and were about the the toll booth guy to pay and Dallas couldn't find the yen. He pulls up to the guy struggling to find the yen in his pockets, gave the guy the ticket and out of nowhere Dallas throws the yen he does have IN HIS MOUTH!!!!!!!! I couldn't believe it!!! The guy is watching this the whole time..ha ha ha! Dallas finally found the yen in his pocket, spits out the yen in his mouth counts it out and gives it to the guy!!!! I was soooo embarrassed, yet couldn't stop laughing!! I laughed so hard I cried! Who does that? Seriously, can you imagine what this guy is thinking? How gross!!!! Anyway even though it was gross it was seriously hysterical!!!!
