The Living Planet Aquarium

Today we all went to the Aquarium!!!!Lily really loved it. As the fish would swim by her face she would press her head onto the glass and kick her legs in every direction trying to get into the tank. Maybe she thought she found a shower buddy. It was really cute to watch her.
Hailey and her diva pose....I have no idea where she learned this.But as we explored we seen an octopus moving all his tentacles up and down on the glass, glow-in-the-dark-jellyfish, tons of different fishes, we even seen Dorie and Nemo, sea horses (they're my favorite since the daddy's are the ones pregnant...wouldn't that be nice), an anaconda, a bird eating spider....yeah I know it's crazy but above all we seen SHARKS!!!....yes real sharks.......(Mason was excited for that part)Then we seen the electric eels. There was a display that you could touch 2 prongs and it would shock your fingers with 1 volt charge so you can get a small sense how it felt. Of course we all tried it....we never claimed to be a smart family just an adventurous one. Here's some random pictures while we were there
Here's Mike touching a sting ray. How many people can say they touched a sting ray in their lifetime?Hailey tried but her little arms wouldn't reach.Here's Mason and I taking our turn. Actually I had to bribe Mason into doing it. But who cares he did it.
I accidentally didn't roll Mason's shirt sleeve up enough before he put his arm into the water. When he was done touching the sting ray his arm was all wet. Oops...
Since Lily didn't touch the sting ray she decided to tease some Parana. She held up her feet to the glass and a few Parana gathered by her toes.
Then after we seen everything we went to the gift shop and got a few small souvenirs.
Then after our underwater adventure we all went to lunch.
We're such cool parents.
