Day 3 -condensed because I'm sleepy!

This morning we hit McDonalds for breakfast.....nothing ended up on the floor this time so I'd call it a success! We were supposed to take Yulissa back to her foster mom so she could go to her dentist appointment but we were happy to find out that the office canceled the appointment and we didn't have to give her up for those few hours. We decided that we would spend the day at the Texas State Aquarium and the beach so we headed off to Walmart for supplies. We got beach towels, sand buckets and sunscreen. The aquarium was fun but the kid's attention spans were shorts (except Jenavi's as she likes to remind me) so we were only there for a little over and hour. We got to pet the stingrays, watch otters wrestle, dolphins and sharks swim, as well as lots of other creatures. We then headed to the beachside snack stand for lunch again. We walked to the beach after lunch. Jenavi and Yulissa immediately wanted to be carried out into the deep water. All they had to do was say "daddy please" and out they went. Laci and Johnny chased the waves in the more shallow water and then dug in the sand. I managed to miss several spots on my legs, back and chest with the sunscreen and got a little bit burned....not too bad though. Yulissa and Chris went on a walk to find shells while Jenavi and I made "sand soup" in our buckets to feed to the fish. After leaving the beach we came back to the hotel for showers and then back out for dinner. The kids wanted to go to a place called Gattitown. It is a pizza buffet with and arcade in it. We all ate pizza and then the kids got $5 each for games. With left with an assortment of cheap arcade prizes such as a slinky, balloon, fake teeth, fake rings, slap bracelets and pencils. The kids were almost asleep in the car on the way back to the hotel but as soon as we walked in all of their energy was back (except for Yulissa) and we had to work to get them calmed down and into bed. Chris and I just finished up a TON of paperwork that we had to finish and are now working on getting to bed ourselves. We have to figure out how to get this VERY messy hotel room back in order and packed up early tomorrow before checkout!
