I took the kids to a small aquarium near us a few weeks ago. It was our outing for the week. The aquarium was small - its in a local mall - but it was still lots of fun. There were lots of animals to see and feed! Here is John by a big snake.
Feeding some sting rays
There was a live mermaid to see but we didn't wait in line to see her. We did sit on her shell throne before she got there.
Checking out the rays
Anna's favorite thing was the doctor fish who bite dead skin off your hands.
Here is Matthew giving it a try.
Emma thought it was gross.
Anna trying it
Grant wanted to try it but was a little nervous. He just stuck his finger tips in at first.
He did end up getting a few nibbles.
In the shark room
We got to feed the sharks some little fishes
Feeding the parakeets
We all tried to be very brave
Can you see the bird just under my foot. No birds were stepped on and I was careful not to put my heels down but I didn't know that bird was there.
Emma was having fun with the bride at first but as time went on she started to get anxious about all the birds. Can you see the panic building in her face. She started crying toward the end and didn't stop for a while after we left the bird room. Poor Emma.
Emma eventually recovered

We had a fun time at the aquarium!
