Moody Gardens

Mike and I wanted to take Kelsie out to Moody Gardens when he had the day off on Friday. Unfortunately we mad the mistake of trying to get her haircut before we went. We thought taking her there would be a treat since she usually loves it at the Aquarium and the Rain Forest. Unfortunately for some reason she was having a strange day. In the Aquarium she kept saying she was scared of everything that usually doesn't bother her at all. She was afraid of the divers in the water and any fish that came too close to the glass and she wanted nothing to do with going through the area with the sharks.

When we went to the Rain forest we were all a little disappointed. There wasn't much to see. It just hasn't been the same since the hurricane hit last year. Kelsie was particularly upset that she couldn't find all the birds they had pictures for, so we decided to head out to another area.

We finally found a place the she enjoyed that day outside. She went down the slides, climbed on everything, and really had a great time chasing us around the play structure. Although the day started out a little rough we wound up having a great family day. That is just how it goes when you have a 3 yr old, but especially when that 3 yr old has some sensory and social issue. It is always a challenge, but I wouldn't change Kelsie for the world!
