Denver Aquarium

 We had a chance this past week to go to the Denver Aquarium.  The kids had a great time.

First we saw a lot of fish from North America.

Grant was really interested in them.

 I think we were looking at trout here.

Some people behind us were eyeing the freshwater fish and remarking how much they would like to catch a fish that size.  I think that's a Colorado thing.  We never heard that at the Okinawa or Monterey aquariums.

 Pictures at the aquarium are so often the pictures of the backs of head

 Crossing a bridge in the rainforest area

And finding a sunken treasure chest.

 The tiger!

It was sort of random that they had a tiger and no other non-aquatic animals.  But it was cool to see.

 So much to see

We had a fun time at the aquarium.  I thought it was cool that Grant was so excited to see everything.  He learned some new words today too, like "seahorse."  The kids also got to pet some stingrays at the end (I didn't get pictures) and Grant really enjoyed that too.  He shouted "PET!!" every time he got a chance to pet the rays.  Lots of fun.
