Aquarium with Aunt Heather

Today we were treated to go to the Aquarium. My sister-in-law got tickets from her father's office a few months ago and today was the last day to use them so....

We went! Thankfully, Heather was able to go with us!!Mac has never been to the aquarium and Capps was small when we went last so it was fun for them, since they had no idea what to expect. And an aquarium this big was quite impressive!
And they got to be in Nemo's tank!! How cool is that?Watching alligators and turtlesStanding with the biggest turtle shell ever foundPetting the sting rays is always a favorite spot
I think Mollee was trying to fall in??The Butterfly GardenThankfully, the penguins were putting on a good show (and we got a glimpse of the new baby)Mac had had enough and didn't want to watch the penguinsbut he did enjoy the Upside-down Jellyfish!
I never figured out how to take a picture with the fish showing up in the background - only a black screen with the flash showing????Unfortunately, we didn't get to play in fountains afterwards, because it was raining with a lot of lightening. Fortunately, Aunt Heather treated us all to ice cream!!

3 1/2 hours was a bit much for walking and herding, but we all had a good time!!!

  2. Chase did fall into the stingray tank once! He was balancing on one of the rocks and reached in a little too far. I caught him by the feet, but not before he was in headfirst all the way to his waist!

  3. I love love love our aquarium. The jellyfish are one of my favorite rooms-all the glow in the dark and colored ones are so cool! It's always a fun treat for me to go too. :)

  4. A new aquarium just opened about an hour from us. We've always enjoyed going to them when we're traveling and are thrilled to have one a little closer! Looks like a fun time!

    Looks like you had a fun day!!!
